Located on a main bus route Downtown (on the corner of 50th and Lexington), near the subway and within easy walking distance of Grand Central Terminal etc. Staff are really very friendly and helpful. Room was big, small coffee maker didn't work so they sent up a kettle. Fridge is handy, buy milk from 24hr supermarket Duane Reade (out the... More

Excellent location, spacious rooms, very clean, friendly staff. Poor internet quality, dirty windows need to be cleaned on the exterior. The rooms are very big with an excellent and useful kitchenette, the beds are extremely comfortable and the pillows too. More

This hotel was exactly what we were looking for. We were a family group of 5 people, with 2 teenagers, 2 parents and grandmother, and we were looking for somewhere which was centrally located, had character and was not too enormous and impersonal, and with comfortable accommodation where we could take a break from the sightseeing during the day if...

My husband and I just spent a wedding anniversary weekend at the Benjamin and it was picture perfect. Not only did we receive a double upgrade to a one-bedroom suite, when we returned to the room on our first night there was a beautiful cake with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate. Everyone from Bell Services to the... More

We had a really enjoyable stay at The Benjamin. Location - This hotel is half way between everything so a great location. 15 mins walk to Central Park one way and 15 mins walk to Times Square the other with very interesting walks in between once you get your bearings. The taxi drivers we used did not know the hotel... More

We stayed here for a long weekend and had a lovely, relaxing time. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, quiet, and unexpectedly large. The hotel was ideally situated close to many landmarks and a subway station, and this allowed us to walk mostly everywhere. We enjoyed a delicious meal at The National during... More

My wife and I came to The Benjamin for a babymoon before our second child was born. We had a very nice stay there. The only downside was the fact that we picked The Benjamin for its spa and we were quite disappointed by the spa facilities. We were forced to wait for our treatments in the gym wearing just... More

While some may quibble that The Benjamin isn't close to many tourist attractions in Manhatten, who cares? It's within a block of several subway stops that'll get you where you need to go. And that's a small price to pay for a hotel that boasts of real suites that have rooms that are larger than a closet, which is the... More
