I met a college friend in the city for some time away. The Benjamin staff was great and very helpful. As most of you know, NYC hotel rooms are typically very small. Ours was not small at all. We had a kitchenette, nice closet space, a writing desk and comfortable chairs. It was so nice to have my choice of... more

I travel to NY often for business. I always stay at the Benjamin. It is so nice to enter the hotel and to be greeted by my friends. They always remember my name, my stories, my favorite room and in the bar, my drink. When you are on the road a lot, as I am, it is these little things... more

Stayed with my 7 year old son in this great NYC hotel as a late birthday gift (4 months) for 3 days. First class all the way from house-cleaning to house-keeping from sunrise to sunset (turn-down), these people were on their toes! They even brought my son a bithday cake on our first night there, he loved it. Large one... more

The Benjamin-service, elegance, quality, and every other good thing you can say about a hotel. I booked through a 3rd party site and was lucky enough to get a great deal on a room here. After reading the rave reviews i was a bit skeptical since sometimes it was the TRIP itself that was to be raved about, not necessarily... more

I recently made a trip to New York City and stayed at the Benjamin at 125 East 50th Street. It is a small hotel by most standards, but my recent experience with The Benjamin proves they can not only compete with the bigger hotels, but exceed all of them in sincere customer-centered service. I was scheduled to stay at The... more

My wife and I stayed at the Benjamin June 30th for one night. We were delighted with just about everything from the location, to the very friendly and professional staff, and the large and well-appointed room. Best of all, is the care and attention the hotel gives to its guests for a chance to have quality sleep time. There is... more

My husband and I stayed at The Benjamin in April during a romantic weekend together. We have stayed in the area before, but this was our first time at The Benjamin. From now on, we'll never stay anywhere else! The midtown location was great for our needs, and the rooms were the largest I've seen in NYC. The staff, from... more

I spent a long weekend in NYC with my sister, and after much research we decided to stay at the Benjamin. The hotel is located in the heart of Midtown, which suited our needs perfectly - we wished to sightsee all over the city, and Midtown is a great halfway point between everything NYC has to offer. The Midtown neighborhood... more
