My stay at Sanctuary Hotel in NYC was a mixed bag. The location right near Times Square was super convenient for exploring the city, but the room I had was quite small and not really what I expected for the price. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, which made the experience a bit better. However, the breakfast could definitely use some improvement, and there were a few hiccups with service that left me feeling a little frustrated.

Rooms

6.0

The room was on the smaller side, and I found the decor a bit dark for my taste. It felt cramped after a few days, especially with no proper wardrobe for my clothes. The shower was decent but was right there in the bedroom behind a curtain.

Service

6.0

The staff were generally nice and accommodating, especially those at the door who helped me out. However, the front desk service could be hit or miss—when I raised some issues at checkout, it felt like they were more concerned about charging fees than addressing my stay.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location was amazing, just a short walk to Times Square and Central Park. I couldn't have asked for a better spot to be close to all the action in the city.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was pretty basic and left something to be desired. I ended up venturing out for breakfast most days because the options there weren't great, plus the plastic plates and cups felt a bit cheap. The on-site Sushi Lab was decent, though!

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offered some good amenities, but I found the rooftop bar often prioritized over the hotel guests. It was sometimes tough to enjoy a drink at the hotel because of private events, and the ground floor bar closed early.

My stay at the Sanctuary Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Times Square, which is a major plus for exploring the city. The staff was notably friendly and accommodating, making the experience more pleasant. However, the room itself was quite small and oddly designed, making it less comfortable than I had hoped. While the free breakfast was nice, I noticed some quirks that detracted from the overall experience.

The room was small and designed with privacy quirks, as the bathroom layout had some odd features that made it less than ideal. The comfort was sacrificed for space. it felt more like a sleeping chamber than a retreat.

The location is frankly unbeatable. I was just minutes away from major attractions like Radio City and Rockefeller Center, providing a true 'sanctuary' from the hustle and bustle around Times Square.

Breakfast was included, but I found the offerings to be quite basic. The scrambled eggs were decent, though I think they could expand the options available. The on-site Sushi Lab restaurant was a definite highlight for dinner, delivering quality food and service.

The hotel offered amenities like room service and housekeeping, which were well-executed. While the decor was unique, it might not cater to everyone's taste, creating a somewhat dark and mysterious vibe.

My stay at Sanctuary Hotel New York was pretty enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from Times Square, making it ideal for sightseeing. However, the rooms are a bit on the smaller side and could use some updates. The breakfast was decent but didn’t offer too many options, which was a letdown. Despite these issues, the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere made it a pleasant retreat after a long day in the city.

Rooms

The room was a good size for central Manhattan, although on the smaller side for my tastes. I appreciated that it was very clean, but the decor felt a little dated and worn. The shower setup lacked privacy, which could be awkward for friends sharing.

Breakfast was included with my stay, but honestly, it was pretty basic. There were some pastries and scrambled eggs, but I was hoping for more variety. Still, it was a decent way to kick off my day before heading out.

I recently spent three nights at the Sanctuary Hotel for my wedding anniversary. the location is fantastic, just off Times Square, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were incredibly accommodating, especially Larissa at the reception who helped with our room upgrade without any extra charge. However, I did find the rooms on the smaller side, which made us request a larger one. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with great service, but the room size was a bit disappointing.

Rooms

7.0

The cozy queen room was a little cramped for my taste. but after chatting with the staff, I was moved to a king deluxe room that felt much better. Still, the overall decor was very dark, which didn’t enhance the experience for me.

Service

You really can’t beat the location. right next to Times Square, making it super convenient for sightseeing. I loved that Bryant Park was just around the corner, perfect for some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle.

I dined at the on-site Sushi Lab, which was a good experience. the food quality was great, and I appreciated having access to drinks on the rooftop bar as well. However, I did find the breakfast offerings a bit underwhelming at times.

The facilities were decent with efficient housekeeping keeping things tidy. though I found the breakfast setup could use some improvement. Access to free coffee and water in the lobby was a nice perk that added to the overall experience.
