I stayed with Sanctuary for one night before taking a cruise from NYC. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel steps from Times Square. We were very lucky to be accommodated with an early morning check in and buffet breakfast after traveling over night. They pay attention to every detail with great service and warmth. Everyone in the staff... More

This was the second time we stayed at the Sanctuary! We are in NYC every six weeks for business and staying there is so convenient. A great location on a quiet street. Everyone who works there go out of their way to make you "feel at home". The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The decor is trendy and hip.... More

We booked 3 nights at the Sanctuary on Booking.com. Upon check in, Lucas at the front desk upgraded us from a Queen room to a King room. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Location: This hotel is in a great location for holiday makers. Times Square is about 30 seconds away, Central Park is a short walk, there... More

I travel quite often to NY on business (1-2 weeks per month for the last 10 years) and I find that this hotel is one of the better values in NYC. While I'm not a huge fan of staying near Times Square, it's not a overly crazy street to be on and it's the perfect distance from Times Square. And... More

Thank you for sharing your experience with us on tripadvisor.com. I'm happy to hear that you have become a "fan" of us. It's great when guests take the time out of their busy schedules to express their appreciation for the efforts that we make. Like you stated, we are steps away from Times Square. However, through our grand entrance, we... More

We stayed there 2 nights and the place was really nice, the decoration is very contemporary and cosy. The room wasn't too big but then in NY you don't spend much time in the room! Breakfast was included which was nice and free wifi available everywhere. The hotel is within walking distance of Times Square, theatres, 5th Avenue, et which... More

Originally I accidentally made our reservations on-line for a day before we were supposed to arrive. Called the front desk, and Lucas was very sweet and changed it with no problems. He was at the front desk when we arrived, greeted us by our name, and we were expeditiously checked in and in our room in minutes. No waiting, no... More

We stayed in the hotel right after the opening. The hotel was still being constructed at that time, but there were no loud noises. The elevator was very slow, so even though we lived on the 7th floor we ofter decided to take the stairs instead. It has a great location, really close to Times Square, the Broadway and everything...
