Sonder the Gallier

Love the space and love how close it is to everything. Safe and secure tooo….we just walked to everything …just one black from bourbon and the trolley is right outside the front door. Would definitely stay again and again!

We travel all the time and Sonder is a GEM. From their amazing customer service to the amenities and space, we were SO impressed. The location was perfect for us. Within walking distance to everything, but far enough away to sleep at night without the chaos of New Orleans. The apartment was even better than in photos. It was clean, had ample space and everything we needed for our trip. We’re already looking ahead to our next Sonder stay.

The location is excellent. Just off Canal and very close to Bourbon St. We weren't sure about the neighborhood when we booked, but can say it was very safe and convenient. The Sonder Gallier entrance is sandwiched between two restaurants at street level, and there are other restaurants on the street and a CVS on the corner. We would definitely stay here again given the convenience of the location. We were in Room 201 which is a 4-bedroom unit. It is very spacious. As previous reviewers have warned, there are NO windows with an outside view. We were aware of this due to the reviews and detailed inspection of the photos Sonder has on their website room listing. The unit is exactly as described by Sonder but guests should be aware of the no-window situation in case that bothers you. It is a very quiet unit. We referred to it as "our bunker" -- it was quiet and had no views of the outside (which provided complete darkness for the teens who like to sleep in!). If you are booking 201, be aware that the clothes dryer is still NOT operational. Another reviewer noted this in August 2022 and as of May 2023 it still isn't working. The other review I would reiterate is the lack of shelves, hooks, and toilet seat in the first bathroom. There is no room or space for personal belongings or hanging towels. The shower is very nice but the bathroom itself could be better outfitted for functionality. (These inconveniences are why I rate it a 4 not a 5.) All in all, it was definitely worth-what-paid and we would book again! (We also stayed in a Sonder in Nashville and can say they are consistently clean and they represent their properties accurately on their website.)

Great spot in a great location. It is in walking distance from Bourbon and Canal Street. The an apartment was clean and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. Having an early check in/check out was easy to request.

I booked Sonder The Gallier for my joint Bachelorette/Bachelor Trip with a group of 7 including two couples. It was a perfect amount of space. I wish the apartment had windows and more surface area to set things down on in the smaller of the two bathrooms and the bedrooms, but overall, the location was outstanding, the building felt very secure and wasn't noisy, and there was plenty of comfortable space for our whole group to hang out!

Spacious apartment, excellent location, and had everything I needed! The check-in / check-out process was really easy and they were flexible with timing. Would definitely stay again. Only complaint was the AC was not on/ apartment was really hot when we got there. The fan in bedroom #2 also didn't seem to work.

Beds were comfy, apartment was clean and super roomy! Bathrooms were amazing! Great location. Close to Bourbon street but also far enough away to avoid some of the craziness when we were ready for bed. Loved our stay and would love to stay again.

We went for our daughters 21st birthday. We had 6 people and this place did not disappoint! Great location with spacious rooms and a great open kitchen, dining, living room area. It would be nice if they had some towel bars or hooks in the bathrooms but it wasn’t a huge deal. We will definitely go back!

We chose a 4-bedroom unit for our 7-member family gathering in New Orleans and we were not disappointed. The 3rd floor unit we rented had easy building access plus an elevator, making bag & meal transportation a breeze. We had ordered a prepared Thanksgiving dinner from a local grocery store, which was only 4 blocks away. The Canal Street/Bourbon Street intersection was at the end of the block, so street car and bus stops were super convenient. Keep in mind that the unit is in the middle of a block full of restaurants just a block from the start of Bourbon Street-the little bit of street noise we heard in our unit was due to food service delivery trucks and distant sirens. We were prepared for a LOT more noise, being so close to the Quarter. Our unit was very clean and spacious enough that seven adults were comfortable gathered in the kitchen/dining area. There were 2 full bathroom (showers, no tubs), one with a sink/vanity (nice storage). One of the toilets had traditional seat with a lid but the other toilet seat was more “industrial”, lacking a lid to place your towels on (room also lacked sufficient towel bars and shower grab bars). Two of the bedrooms had no windows, so that was perfect for our family who sleep best in total darkness. One bedroom was flooded with natural light and the other had light but bed placement reduced the lights got to manageable limits. All the windows had adjustable roller shades for perfect light control. Beds were all comfortable with nice, clean bedding. The stackable washer/dryer unit in the hall was nice and did the job. We got caught in heavy rainstorm one night and everyone was drenched by the time we hit back-that dryer was very much appreciated! There were only a couple of complaints and none were deal breakers. There was no laundry detergent, coffee, creamer, or wash cloths or n either the unit or in the essentials closet mentioned in our check-in instructions. One text to Customer Service remedied the situation promptly. The other situation was the length of time it took for hot water to reach the showers-nothing major, just a little inconvenient. As the building was obviously converted from commercial use to residential, little things like that are to be expected. The kitchen had ample counter space and nice appliances: toaster, coffee maker and electric kettle for breakfast prep. No ice maker in the fridge, but refillable trays handled our ice needs adequately. Unfortunately, the oven was “slow”, and proved yo be a bit problematic when it came time to heat up all the pre-cooked dishes for our dinner. Check out couldn’t have been any easier-just close the door on the way out! Our overall experience was great & we will look for Sonder units first on future trips.
