My second experience in NY for the holidays @ small boutique hotels in a superb location in Manhattan. First the Affinia 50 last year, and the Benjamin Hotel - just down the street - this year. The Benjamin was more than comfortable, good experience with room service, more than adequate suite and adjoining room, comfy beds and furniture - even... More

We have stayed at this luxe little boutique hotel for years, and really enjoy the professional staff and clever, thoughtful room design. The beds are super comfortable and there are creative and fun touches like the pillow menu. Our last stay, however was problematic due to numerous housekeeping issues. The shower head, the bathtub drain, the iPod docking station....even the... More

We stayed a whopping (for us) 10 nights, so got to know the hotel very well indeed. Location is midtown, so close to many NYC favorites - Grand Central Station, MoMA, Top of the Rock etc. Hotel lobby is unprepossessing to say the least. Hotel greeting was very warm (Christine), and our room was fine - comfortable and spacious-by-NY-standards lounge... More

I am a New Yorker now living in CA so I'm extra picky when it comes to NYC hotels...There were a few on this block and luckily i chose The Benjamin. Remodeled lobby, big rooms, great bed. The bathroom was quite small and there was very little AT&T coverage and also they charge for Wifi. Otherwise it was really great,... More

I really enjoyed my stay here last week. I can't say enough about the staff I dealt with was always willing to help me. The room was always clean and comfortable. I loved the location and the food from The National wow. Will be there again later this year guaranteed. More

I stayed at the Benjamin last weekend. At check-in time there was 1 employee working at the desk. This was a holiday weekend and my husband and I waited for over half an hour in the TINY lobby waiting for our room. As an aside, another woman behind the desk (who was not helping anyone, was EATING... gross!). After finally... More

I stayed at the Benjamin for a night in January for business. Picked up a room for $125 via Priceline and was upgraded to a suite. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Great location - on a subway stop, near good restaurants, java, etc. I highly recommend this hotel. More
