Reviews for The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York
Amazing boutique hotel
This hotel was a diamond we found almost by accident. This boutique hotel is 5 star. The staff are very professional and friendly. The rooms are large for NYC. The security is excellent as is the location.

Wonderful stay...
Just stayed 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Booked a 1 bedroom with separate living room on the 15th floor and everything was near perfect. Quiet, very clean, excellent air conditioning, amazing housekeeping, front desk and bellmen. Great decor and ambience-- rooms are nicely sized and the bathrooms (while small) are nicely appointed with beautiful tile, marble and shower/faucets. Highly recommend!

Pretty nice hotel
Pretty nice hotel. Loved the decor - modern and cool. The in-room Keurig and mini fridge were great. Loved the robes. The shower was nice but wish the bathroom had more counter space/shelves or hooks to hang a towel. Not enough room for our stuff. The bellmen were great and even gave us umbrellas for the day when it rained. Wish we'd had a better view as our room looked at the hotel air conditioner. Would stay again.

Excellent experience
Absolutely loved my stay at The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel! The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated with brand-new furniture, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable — I slept like a dream. The staff was outstanding: professional, attentive, and truly went the extra mile. I had a small issue with a package that arrived after I had checked out, and they handled everything perfectly, making sure it was returned to me at home. The location couldn’t be better — just steps from the subway and close to so many of New York’s main attractions. I can’t wait to come back on my next visit to NYC!

My stay was amazing. The only problem was with the room phones. I could not get them to work.
