My husband and I stayed here last weekend and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and welcomed us every time we returned to the hotel. The location was steps away from Times Square which was nice. The free breakfast was a nice touch as well. The room was smaller than I had hoped, but it was okay... More

This place is great! It is trendy its very dark in the lobby with lounge couches and fire places, there is also a nice size bar. The rooms are small but functional, very clean, and modern. The smell was just clean and crisp and the bed was comfy, I was very content. Relatively quiet also. More

Our first trip to NYC and found the location of the Hotel to be fantastic - right at Time Square. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms are small but well appointed and clean. More

My fiancee and me stayed at the Sanctuary Hotel in September 2011, in fact we were engaged at the Hotel itself! We found the Sanctuary to be a simply wonderful hotel with the perfect balance between amenities, location and cost. The room was ideal for our requirements and well appointed with quality furnishings and iPod dock/flat screen TV etc. The... More

I stayed with Sanctuary for one night before taking a cruise from NYC. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel steps from Times Square. We were very lucky to be accommodated with an early morning check in and buffet breakfast after traveling over night. They pay attention to every detail with great service and warmth. Everyone in the staff... More

This was the second time we stayed at the Sanctuary! We are in NYC every six weeks for business and staying there is so convenient. A great location on a quiet street. Everyone who works there go out of their way to make you "feel at home". The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The decor is trendy and hip.... More

We booked 3 nights at the Sanctuary on Booking.com. Upon check in, Lucas at the front desk upgraded us from a Queen room to a King room. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Location: This hotel is in a great location for holiday makers. Times Square is about 30 seconds away, Central Park is a short walk, there... More

I travel quite often to NY on business (1-2 weeks per month for the last 10 years) and I find that this hotel is one of the better values in NYC. While I'm not a huge fan of staying near Times Square, it's not a overly crazy street to be on and it's the perfect distance from Times Square. And... More

We stayed there 2 nights and the place was really nice, the decoration is very contemporary and cosy. The room wasn't too big but then in NY you don't spend much time in the room! Breakfast was included which was nice and free wifi available everywhere. The hotel is within walking distance of Times Square, theatres, 5th Avenue, et which... More
