A good (and good value) NYC hotel. Conveniently located in midtown (great if driving in on the FDR as I was). Rooms are larger than most in NYC though the views are underwhelming. Everything is clean and comfortable.

We stayed at The Benjamin this past weekend. I have to say it's a really nice hotel, but that's all I could describe it as-Nice. The lobby area is quite small, but decorated nicely. The rooms are huge-suites, with large sitting rooms with sofa bed and desk, flat screen TV, and a large separate bedroom. The decor is nice and... More

Every time I come to the city, I stay at the Benjamin - no deviations. It is perfectly located (50th and lex) has excellent beds(even the sofa bed was comfy)/sheets/pillows and the service is always outstanding. The new decor in the lobby is really gorgeous, with cozy little spots to plop down for a sec. But really the thing that... More

I have stayed in so many NYC hotels that I really have to give this one a 5 star experience. The location is perfect, you can walk to so many attractions and offices.

As somebody who has started travelling to NYC at least once a month on business I am desperately searching for that hotel that just works - doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to work. Sadly The Benjamin isn't that hotel. The location (Lex & 50th) is great, the rooms are big (mini-suites) which makes a change for NYC... More

Great location, great service, clean elegant rooms. I initially sought out this hotel because it came clear of the bedbug registry. Most other hotels I was interested had an incident reported by previous guests but this hotel had no reports against it. I was greeted quickly, and my complimentary room upgrade was honored without hesitation. It was quiet, elegant yet... More

I lived & worked in NYC for 7 years and come back often to visit friends. When ever I come back I only stay at the Benjamin. It has the best location for getting around the city with the subway & buses. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and the General Manager is the best. The rooms are large for NYC... More

First arrived after a long flight and we were very tired so they upgraded to a high room so no traffic noise. Also whilst waiting for the room we had a drink FOC. The staff really looked after us very polite and pleasant. The staff could not have done anything else they really made us stay welcome for a weeks... More
