The hotel

Thanks to a multi-million dollar makeover The Benjamin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan is looking hotter than ever and if you want to dive into a world of boutique luxury then right here is where you rip off the covers and get involved. Although the designs and modern touches are bang-up-to-date the level of customer commitment goes way back with pretty much 24-hr everything ranging from the front desk to the fitness room to the in-room spa and beauty services. The gourmet snack boxes alone will have you hungry for more and if you want a real taste of classic New York City style then check out The National Bar & Dining Rooms that's got grand café chic down to a tea. As The Benjamin Hotel stretches to almost 30 storeys there's no chance of getting lost in the city and as major attractions, such as the MET, the Empire State Building and Madison Avenue, are all just a few blocks away this is an excellent base to experience the best of the Big Apple. Finally, guest rooms have every box ticked with kitchenettes and mini-fridges ensuring you can definitely have your cake and eat it.

We stayed here last year after booking as part of a BA package and I'm so glad we did!

We stayed here last year after booking as part of a BA package and I'm so glad we did! The staff are all really friendly and helpful and when we got there they'd upgraded us to a suite as it was our first wedding anniversary, they even left some goodies in the room. The suite was lovely, so spacious with a MASSIVE comfy bed and the toiletries in the bathroom were great quality too. Didn't have much of a view from the room but that doesn't matter when we weren't in it much. It's a great location, close to central park, grand central station, Rockefeller, times square etc. I'd say the only drawback to the area is the nightlife - it was either really expensive hotel bars or Irish pubs, nothing really in between. Next time we visit New York I would probably stay further down so that we experience different areas but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or recommend it! Read less

We love this hotel and have stayed here several times. Upon our arrival, Jaime provided excellent service and was very welcoming! The rooms are fantastic, always clean and comfortable, and the hotel is in a great spot in the city.

This is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room is minuscule. The king bed advertised on the web site is in actuality a double. The bed itself - lumpy and uncomfortable. No nightstand on both sides of the bed - a critical point for someone who wears glasses. Even though this room was billed as a suite, it appears to be a large… Read more
This is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room is minuscule. The king bed advertised on the web site is in actuality a double. The bed itself - lumpy and uncomfortable. No nightstand on both sides of the bed - a critical point for someone who wears glasses. Even though this room was billed as a suite, it appears to be a large room with a wall dividing the space. It is so small that there is no place to set out a suitcase to enable unpacking without tripping There is luggage rack, but it is so old and wobbly that when a suitcase is placed on it, it moves around, rendering it useless. The bathroom is non functional with a sink that is about 12 inches in diameter. No counter space for two people to put down toiletries beyond a toothbrush. The Room Service coffee tasted like bilge. There is a balcony, but the door to go out is broken and doesn’t open. So that is no longer a nice or useable feature in the room. Lastly there is the matter of the front desk staff - cold, unwelcoming, unhelpful. Will never return here again. Urge others to stay away. Read less

We got a great rate on a suite as they were on sale. Room was spacious and comfortable, but the living room furniture is a bit dated and tired. only a single sink in the bathroom. Our bed, pillows and bedding were extremely comfortable. When we arrived, we couldn't find the keys to our car. The doorman/valet was super helpful in finding them. … Read more
We got a great rate on a suite as they were on sale. Room was spacious and comfortable, but the living room furniture is a bit dated and tired. only a single sink in the bathroom. Our bed, pillows and bedding were extremely comfortable. When we arrived, we couldn't find the keys to our car. The doorman/valet was super helpful in finding them. The day after we left, my husband realized he had left something in the safe. I called housekeeping and Laticia immediately went to the room and retrieved the item. It was overnighted, and we had it back the next day. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Read less
