A great hotel, practically right on Times Square. We stayed in the rear section of the hotel and thought it was fantastic! It was wonderfully quiet, a perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The staff were friendly, from the reception and housekeeping teams to the doorman. The room is getting a bit dated, though. I would definitely book here again!

The Sanctuary Hotel is an exceptional property. While its strategic location and stylish atmosphere are impressive, what truly sets it apart is the outstanding quality of its staff. Ben, in particular, was exceptional—genuinely kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. We are deeply grateful for the warm hospitality and attentive support shown by the entire team, from reception to housekeeping. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure we felt well cared for. Julie was also so kindhearted. I truly appreciated the entire experience. Staying at a hotel with friendly staff is a critical component of any vacation and luckily, the sanctuary hotel was outstanding. Steps away from the subway and Times Square doesn’t harm either. I hope the senior management of this hotel realize how lucky they are to have such a team. Ben - if you’re reading this, thanks for everything brother. You’re such a gentleman. Lastly, I notice a few people mentioning and complaining about fees. I didn’t face any issues with that, and I used booking to book at the hotel.

The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful. I was fretting over how to get to the airport and the front desk helped with scheduling a cab (cheaper than Uber). Sanctuary is centrally located and I was able to walk to SiriusXM Studios for a live show. Not wanting to carry my baggage, the front desk held it. Every interaction with the staff was pleasant. If I could award this hotel 10 stars I would. Summary- STAY HERE!!

I hate that I have to post this, but, I feel compelled to say something. I am a disabled person, I use a mobility aid to get around most of the time. When I arrived at this hotel last Monday after a day of traveling from LA, I was distressed to find that there were only stairs to get inside. luckily, I had my husband with me, and he went inside to inquire about accessibility. After a few moments, a conceiege came up and explained they would be placing metal ramps on the stairs (like from moving trucks for dollys). This caused a disruption in such a busy area, and I was deeply embarrassed. It caused a lot of unwanted attention but it does get worse. As I tried to line up my wheelchair with the makeshift and very steep ramp, the concierge held their hand up to me and yelled "STAY!" like they were commanding an animal. Needless to say, after not eating for 12 hours, being stressed from traveling, and now being publicly humiliated, I started sobbing. I also hurt my hand on the way in but ignored it because I didn't want a further scene. I do commend the manager for coming to my aid for an unrelated matter, and the concierge who set up the ramp and apologized for the "accomodations."

Had a good stay here. Room was clean. Service was pleasant.I asked for a quiet room so they gave me an interior room that had a dark window, so no natural light. Otherwise no complaints. Hallway decor is interesting to get to this particular building : black walls and no natural light in lobby. Great location if you are going to the theatre. Just be prepared for the additional daily fee (think it was $40/night.)

We just returned from a 4 night stay at The Sanctuary Hotel in New York and WOW! The location alone is incredible; right in Times Square! The staff are all so lovely and friendly, Jose on reception stands out to us as I had previously emailed the hotel prior to our arrival to organise a surprise for my husband! They offered many packages, which I didn’t go for as I wanted to save money to spend whilst on holiday, I told them this and they went out of their way to have a slice of New York cheesecake in our room for free for my husband and a card written for him!! It made him feel so special and I was so happy! The room was cleaned every day which makes such a nice difference when you come in after being out exploring all day! Showers were lovely, waterfall style so refreshing! Honestly would definitely book here again! Thank you so much!

I throughly enjoyed my stay. & on my next vacation to NY I will be back! Lobby is beautiful & smells amazing. Door men are super helpful with luggage & open the front door for you all day. Front desk staff were kind & attentive. Rooms are cleaned twice a day so you don’t have to rush out in the morning to come back to a clean room. They have breakfast for $25 a day if you so choose. Using the gym will cost you too. There’s a facility fee & a temporary $300 hold on a card, just in case you mess their room up. They’re upfront about this & you will get it back if you leave the room mostly how you found it. Building is secure & you feel safe knowing no one can just walk in & go up the elevator without a key card. I had the king deluxe to myself so I didn’t feel like it was too small of a room like a lot of people complain about. If you plan to stay here with someone else, you’ll be close & cozy. Bathroom is kind of open, toilet only has a sliding door & shower only has a curtain to cover. So keep that in mind if you plan to travel with someone you’re not THAT close to lol. All in all it was great. The only slightly negative things I could say was that when I arrived the smaller shower head was dirty, I told front desk & it was cleaned immediately. So no big deal. & You’re close to time square so EXPECT some noise at all hours of the night… it’s NYC after all. Turn on some white noise or the room fan & you’re good! Thanks for making my stay enjoyable.

Completely Unacceptable Experience at a “Five-Star” Hotel Our stay at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island was nothing short of a nightmare. For nearly 24 hours, our room — and the surrounding hallway — was filled with a horrific, raw sewage stench. This wasn’t a minor inconvenience; it was overwhelming, disgusting, and completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one that markets itself as five-star. We reported the issue to the front desk five separate times, as well as to housekeeping and engineering. Multiple other guests were also complaining, so this clearly wasn’t an isolated issue. Despite this, nothing was done in a timely or effective manner. Staff repeatedly failed to resolve the problem or even communicate a clear plan. Only at 7:00 PM — after an entire day of enduring the smell — did they finally offer to move us to another room. By that point, we had two very young children settled in for the night, with cribs, diapers, and all the chaos that comes with traveling with kids. Moving at that hour was completely impractical. Had they offered this solution earlier in the day (we first complained around 2:00 PM), we absolutely would have taken it. To make matters worse, even after the smell temporarily dissipated the next day, it returned again. When we escalated the issue to management, we expected a response that reflected the severity of the situation and the hotel’s supposed luxury standards. Instead, we were offered a single complimentary dinner — which is frankly insulting given the circumstances. A free night would have been the bare minimum for enduring raw sewage conditions in our room. This is not a five-star experience. It does not come close to the standards of a Four Seasons or any comparable luxury property. It feels like a large, impersonal resort where guest experience is clearly not a priority. Raw sewage in a guest room is unacceptable — full stop. We will not be returning.

We really enjoyed our short, one-night stay at Sanctuary. The staff was incredibly helpful with any of our questions; recommendations for a quick bite, which subway to take to our destination, hailing our cabs, caring for our belongings before and after check-out. They were friendly and beyond accommodating! The rooms were clean and offered a wonderful bathroom with lots of space and modern finishings! The location was perfect! Again, the service we received during our stay will continue to be the highlight and the main reason for me to leave this review! We ate at the Sushi Lab which is located on the top floor of hotel and was equally amazing with service and incredible fare! Could not greatly recommend this boutique hotel any more (not my first stay in NYC)!!
