What guests think

Sanctuary Hotel New York draws praise for its friendly, attentive staff and central Times Square location, with compact, stylish rooms and comfortable beds, plus lively on site dining, though noise, basic breakfasts, and privacy quirks appear in reviews.

Rooms are frequently described as small or dark, with some layouts featuring open showers behind curtains and occasional issues like loud air conditioners, tricky thermostats, or views into an airshaft. Housekeeping is generally reliable and spaces feel clean, but maintenance and aging elements crop up in spots. Rooftop and sushi venues are popular, yet the included continental breakfast is often considered limited. Expect a compact, well located boutique stay with standout service.

Location near broadway shows can’t be beat. Hotel was quirky and fun. Only knock was the dining options on property were a little disappointing. In may the roof bar was still basically enclosed by awnings and had no view (and the continental breakfast was almost comically sparse)

Our king room was perfect with the exception of our mini fridge did not work. Also the parking situation is dismal. The parking across the street was $80/night so they recommended another parking garage that was several blocks away with no way to transfer our luggage. Graciously 2 of the guys on staff, JD and another young man (I forgot his name) assisted us because we weren't allowed to use a luggage rack off the premises. Both of those fellas deserve a raise. With those exceptions, overall we really enjoyed our stay with Sanctuary.

Beautiful hotel, that had everything with minor problems so one star less. 1. Small rooms and the pillows smelled a little like body odor, and this could happen anywhere so I only blame myself as I was too tired to swap them out . 2. Breakfast had only high carbohydrate sugary things such as baked goods and cereals, and absolutely no hot foods or proteins like at least oat meal nor hard boiled eggs.

My husband and I stayed in a luxury king room. We had a view of the street. The room was very nice and had all the amenities that were expected. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Housekeeping cleaned out room and changed our sheets every day. The listing says the room includes "in room spa service". Don't be fooled, you have to get someone from outside the hotel to come in, so it's not anything included. They need to change that. Breakfast was minimal with bagels, toast, cereal, tea and coffee. Continental usually includes waffles and such. Staff was very accommodating with holding our bags the day we were leaving. This hotel is 1/2 block from Times Square and 3 blocks from the subway. Excellent location. Would stay here again.

Location is great for visiting Times Square, theatre district. Rooms are extremely small. Only have a curtain separating shower/sink from bed so impossible for couples to awake at different times. Room smelled badly of weed one night but hallway did not. Suggesting that maid or someone with room access was smoking in room. Breakfast was barely eatable. Staff was attentive and very nice.

Two buy in bulk cereals and over ripe bananas.

Location, location, location!! Around the corner from all the main touristic attractions. Walking distance to Times Square, Broadway, Rockefeller, Radio City, 5th Avenue! The city at your fingertips. Very nice and professional staff, clean rooms. The only negative for me was the construction going on across the street and the traffic noise as my room faced the street. Also the breakfast was truly basic and disappointing for a 4star hotel. Once again you are paying for the location. And people do make a difference they were all very nice and friendly. Special thanks to the bellman that worked in the evening of our departure on December 26 and went out of his way to help us reach the taxi that couldn’t make it closer to the hotel!! He definitely deserves a raise. Without him we would have lost our plane. Word to the wise the traffic in Manhattan is insane take this in consideration when leaving the hotel.

The room itself was very spacious, the set up was great, and the bed was the comfiest bed my wife and I have ever slept on in a hotel. My wife has already requested that we stay here again on future NYC trips. Extremely LGBTQIA+ friendly and respectful!

This hotel was cute and a good location right near Times Square. The room we had on the sixth floor was very dark with a window to the stairs between buildings. It was also very close to the stairway which is used by people going to a restaurant so that location was quite noisy. But the bed was comfortable and the decor was nice. In regards to customer service the girl checking in could have been a little nicer. When you check in to a hotel you expect some sort of upbeat demeanor but this was just disappointing. The gentleman at the door who took our bag was very kind and happy.

Rooms were typical NYC small and the bathroom configuration is a little odd when sharing a room with a friend, but we managed just fine on our quick trip. The beds and bedding are fabulous! The hotel staff is top notch - easily some of the best I've encountered in NYC and beyond - they went above and beyond to take care of any questions or concerns and appeared to genuinely love their job!

We had a wonderful stay. The thermometer in the room malfunctioned the first night but the staff was amazing and moved us to two other rooms. After it was fixed we moved back. They waved $30 off the fee. My daughter fractured her foot before the trip and was in a wheelchair/scooter. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. It is a lovely hotel with an amazing staff and I would definitely stay again.

Half a block from Times Square and close to Broadway, Rockefeller Center, and subways, the hotel is highly walkable. Street noise reaches some rooms, so light sleepers may want earplugs or a white noise option.

The staff was amazing! The hotel is beautiful & comfortable! Location is perfect! The hotel is located just a half block from the red bleachers of Times Square & there were subway stations on each corner of the block! The only thing that was a problem is that our phone charger plugs would not work in most of the room outlets, our plugs only worked in 2 of the outlets, we never did figure out why as the outlets were checked by maintenance & shown they were active. So maybe just check on that to see what plugs do work in those outlets. Also, if you are a light sleeper, bring a noise machine as the hotel is so close to Times Square that noise is inevitable. Our noise machine was enough to drown out the noise & we slept very well every night, plus the beds & pillows are super comfy!
