The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York

Absolute joy staying here, it is conveniently located close to shops and the Rockefeller center. The entire staff was so nice and caring, the doorman especially were awesome. Shout out to Elias for recommending the bagel shop. Thank you to management for Oscar, my baby hasn't let it go and is her new travel companion. The room was good and very convenient with a small sink, microwave and dishes. There were some area in the room that could have used a touch up but nothing terrible. There was some trash under the couch that was missed but again not a deal breaker. They offer shuttle LGA which was cheaper than an Uber. Overall we will be staying here again and are looking at their San Juan resort for Christmas.

My partner and I were looking for a boutique hotel and decided to try the Benjamin Sonesta. We were pleasantly surprised because the renovation looks amazing and the hotel has such a stylish feel. The location is perfect too since it is close to Rockefeller Center and a lot of great shopping. We also ate at the new restaurant The Parliament and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is intimate, the food was delicious, and the service was great. Carlos and Dimitro at the bar made our experience even better during our visit. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it.

We travel to NYC often with family for mini-vacations and usually choose this Benjamin midtown location which is very convenient. It very walkable to Rockefeller center and shopping areas during Christmas time. Subway stations very close by. The rooms and suites are decent size with comfortable beds. We particular like staying in their suites, which has a kitchenette with a microwave oven. We feel that the rooms are not well cleaned and we can see the dust and hairs in some places when we first checked in. The street noise level is typical of a NYC hotel. Even with a $10/day minibar credit, a bag of potato chips is $8 and $12 for a bottle of water. We think the snack bar should be a convenience for guests and not a rip off. The elevators are old, small and slow. We usually take the stairs

We checked in today for our eighth stay here. There’s a lot of reasons why we keep coming back! The location is great, the staff have been super friendly. the rooms are beautiful, there’s a spa, restaurant, and gym, it’s literally everything you need in midtown! We don’t want to give away our hidden gem but this is by far the most bang for your buck in this neighborhood!

Positive: The staff. Door man. Loved our room! Spacious Clean Modern Perfect location Front desk and doorman were Excellent! Would stay here again and again Negative: Sad we had to leave
