Sonder at The Teacher Overview
You know what struck me first about Sonder at The Teacher? The name actually makes sense once you’re inside – there’s this subtle academic vibe that feels intentional without being heavy-handed. I mean, it’s not like they’ve plastered chalkboards everywhere or anything cheesy like that, but there’s something in the design choices that nods to the concept without beating you over the head with it.
The space itself has this really nice balance between feeling boutique and actually functional. I’ve stayed at plenty of 4-star places that look Instagram-perfect but then you realize there’s nowhere to put your suitcase or the lighting is terrible for actually doing anything. Not the case here – whoever designed these rooms actually thought about how people live. The layout flows well, and honestly, the attention to detail impressed me more than I expected. Little things like having enough outlets near the bed (revolutionary, I know) and blackout curtains that actually block out light. With a 9.1 rating, I was curious if it would live up to the hype, and it genuinely does.
What I really appreciated was how the staff handled things – there’s this efficiency that doesn’t feel rushed or impersonal. Check-in was smooth, and when I had a question about the area later, the front desk person actually gave me solid local recommendations instead of just pointing to a generic tourist map. The building itself has good bones too – you’re not hearing every footstep from the room above or dealing with paper-thin walls. I actually slept well, which is saying something because I’m usually that person who wakes up at every little hotel noise. The whole experience felt more like staying somewhere thoughtfully curated rather than just booking a room for the night. It’s the kind of place where you can tell someone cared about getting the details right, and that shows up in ways both big and small throughout your stay.

The apartment is centrally located, making it easy to explore the city. I went to a concert in the O2 academy, which is walking distance. Everything felt brand new and beautifully designed, with a modern and stylish touch that made it very comfortable.
A big plus was the availability of secure lockers for luggage. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay!Sue from United Kingdom (9/10)
