Warm and cozy!
This is a very well maintained hotel in an excellent location. The service was excellent with the staff always going out of their way to help us. They did this in many little ways, which added up to very big level of appreciation on our parts. The room was very warm and cozy, especially since NY was having an awful snow storm while we were there. The room was well appointed and clearly updated. The Benjamin was a lovely experience, which we highly recommend and will repeat.

Backup midtown boutique hotel
Junior suite was very small, with just enough room for a desk and side chair, did not compare favorably to other midtown boutique hotels. One small window and a dark interior view. Room spotlessly clean, comfortable bed. Quiet and peaceful. Very early check in graciously provided. Tiny, slow, overcrowded elevators. Outdated computer equipment, unable to print a one page document. Wonderful, convenient midtown location, steps to subway and restaurants.

Good Hotel, Kind of rude staff
The hotel was fine, nothing special. The bed was comfortable, but the housekeeping staff was exceedingly rude. Starting at about 9am, they began cleaning the rest of the rooms on the floor, slamming neighboring doors multiple times. This kept up until I went to the hall to ask them to please be courteous of their paying guests. Next morning, same thing. Seems like a hotel - especially an expensive one that gives a sleep guarantee - would pick up the no-rainers like this.

Fantastic Hotell
The Benjamin is exactly what you would expect from a boutique hotel on the Upper East Side. Can't go wrong. Stunning Roof Top Bar - worth the visit.

Good and not so good!
Have stayed at several of the neighboring hotels and this place was nice, not bad but not great. Location is good, staff is friendly. Rooms seemed smaller than what was portayed on website. Also there is a renovation ongoing for thier bar and resturaunt areas. Did not see this detailed anywhere. Buffet is on 22 floor, while easy to get to I felt as if I was eating at a Courtyard Marriott. If you want a nice brunch buffet go the the Waldorf or the Barclay hotels. The pillow options were awesome and had a great night sleep. Concierge staff was friendly and very helpful.

Concierge staff was able to get us into a great place for dinner that was already booked. Also had good recomendations for lunch and dinner options. Trust their reccomendations.
