Clean, location, large room size, cleaning service done daily, new interiors

No coffee or tea is offered, noises from outside

The room was very clean; the bed was very comfortable. I very much liked having the kitchenette in the room. The system worked out for the cupboard credit was good. The location was very convenient. Staff were very friendly and easy to deal with.

My only complaint was that, at least in the room I stayed in, one of the walls (I think it was the wall along the entrance) was very thin and I could easily and clearly hear people talking in the next room.

The location was super convenient, next to 5th, radio city, subway just around the corner. Staff very friendly, always greeting, smiling, willing to help. Very spacious 1 bedroom

Wish there was a kettle and to be able to cook something easy like pasta, as the kitchenette was already there as well as a big fridge. It would be very helpful for families with young children.

We had a great stay at The Benjamin Royal Sonesta. The room was large, perfect for a family of 4 and newly refurbished. The location was very central and close to the subway to travel all over NYC. The staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Our only complaint was that it was very noisy. The hotel is located on the street parallel to a fire and police station. So on top of the usual car and pedestrian noise expected in downtown NYC there were constant emergency service vehicle noises all night which made it difficult to sleep. The staff were very understanding when I discussed our inability to sleep with them and they moved us from the 10th to 17th floor to try and minimise the noise and it did help somewhat and we got better rest for the remaining nights but just something to consider if you are a light or sensitive sleeper!

The Doorman, Bellman and all the staff were so kind and accommodating!! For that alone, I would return again and recommend to friends and colleagues!

The room was exactly what I wanted

Didn't realise the tax was going to be so much, for what exactly ?? Very noisy extract fan outside our window

Room cleaned and fresh towels every day.

Gap under the door onto corridor. No slippers.

The room was very large by Manhattan standards. We had a great amount of closet space and movement space in the room. The bathroom was nice and we had a small kitchenette which we did not really need but I could imagine it being useful to have. Well placed lighting. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the shower was nice. Everything felt clean and fresh. The staff was so knowledgeable, helpful, clear, and friendly. We were even given really nice umbrellas to use for the day when it rained. This property is extremely convenient for walking to Midtown sites and is one block from Subway to go uptown or downtown and about 7 blocks to Grand Central Station to get anywhere.

The only thing I would have done differently was bring my own shampoo and conditioner. They are renovating the dining space so there was no on site access to meals or drinks (other than the snacks and beverages stocked in the room). However, immediately around the corner of the front door was a bodega that was open 24 hours where you could get a little bit of everything including juices made to order or burgers, bagels, etc.

Excellent location in Midtown Manhattan, close to everything. Subway lines E and 6 are literally around the corner, making it very easy to get around. Loved the rooms, they were comfortable, well equipped and had that distinctive NYC vibe. Hotel staff was very friendly, attentive and happy to help whenever asked. Definitely recommended for a great stay in the middle of NYC!

The facility exceeded our expectations! The staff was more than accommodating, our room was clean & the housekeeping came daily to clean and restock. The best part about our stay was how friendly the staff was to our frenchie! We travel with her everywhere we go & they brought her a dog bed & her own water bowl! They also gave her dog bones when they seen her! It meant the world to us for them to be so accepting. Made our family feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to stay here again for our next trip!
