Easy to check in/out
Amazing, very close to all I wanted to see. Gratefull for the bottles of water left at my door, although I had the water I needed. All was easy to do.

One of my favourite
Everything was good as always. Sonder is super reliable and consistent, yet always different because of the many varieties of properties they own.

10 out of 10 convenient, clean and a kitchen.
Fantastic convenient place to stay but have to upload picture ID before checking in. Check in desk staffed with very friendly young people all day and electronic passkey was convenient. Walked to all Ottawa tourist sites in a few minutes and so many places to eat within 1 to 10 minute walk. Very roomy with nice kitchen. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay at Sonder Arlo very much. Due to many food allergies and not wanting to eat out much, we used the kitchen a lot.
The only thing that we didn't just love was that noise traveled easily between units in the spot where we were staying.

Great but
Property was excellent -
However the check-in process is electronic and requires the scanning of a personal ID -
this made me nervous considering the risk of personal information being divulged to other parties or identify theft.

Happy we stayed
Clean, great area, modern unit. Only issue is parking is a bit far, like a 5 minute walk. Best price parking was City Hall on weekends at least.

Fabulous location
Great property especially if you were staying for a few days or longer. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and appliances. We had everything we needed to prepare a meal.
The location is perfect. Five minute walk to Parliament Hill. Ten minutes to the ByWard market and lots of shopping. There were convenience stores and restaurants within a couple of blocks. There was a bus stop just across the street.
I’ve already recommended the Arlo to several people.

Compact space, well-located
A compact but well-appointed room and comfortable stay at a really central location. It was a little small for 2 people but worked fine for one. No desk/workchair but the mini dining area was a reasonable alternative. Wifi was good and the price was very reasonable.
