Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Sanctuary Hotel offers a superb location, just a short walk from Times Square and Broadway, making it ideal for exploring the city. Rooms are comfortable, and while some guests have noted they can be on the smaller side, they are generally well-maintained and feature modern amenities. The hotel's rooftop restaurant is a highlight, offering a great atmosphere, and the modern, stylish decor, resembling an urban-style Buddhist temple, has been particularly well-received.

ample spacequiet locationlimited options
my beautiful queen room had ample space, even for yoga. it was located at the back, away from the elevator, so it was super quiet. housekeeping did a fantastic job maintaining the room . i appreciated that there was a fridge available, very useful.
i found the breakfast options to be somewhat limited and not very healthy. there were not many choices available for those looking for nutritious options. it would be great to see more variety and healthier selections offered in the future.
