Sanctuary NYC Retreats

This was a terrific find for our family stay in New York. Located in the vibrant lower east side and beautifully un-corporate, we were very comfortable here. We booked the suite with patio and kitchen. There was plenty of room for all of us (1 king bed, 1 double and 1 pullout bed). Breakfast was simple and plentiful with a range of cereals, breads, fruit, juices and tea/coffee. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Location is great too, close to subway, East River and other local amenities. We had no problem getting around. The bottom line is you will stay in “a neighbourhood” where real life happens around you and gives you a glimpse of what it’s like to live in this fantastic city. Far better than a bland hotel in a tourist hotspot in my opinion.

As We was running very late for check in. Christina was able to accommodate me by providing me with an easy self check in. She emailed me all the information I needed for when we arrived. It was very gracious of her. When we arrived there was a little mix up with the rooms. But it was quickly figured out. My boyfriend definitely enjoyed his birthday. It was very nice and quiet and relaxed. We especially loved the fully equipped kitchen! We will definitely stay again. Preferably in a balcony room.

Easy to find. Quiet street. Cute and warm entrance. Friendly staff. Quick check in process. We got the Buddha (rooms are named, not numbered). Our room was on the second floor, all the way down the right hallway and on the left side. The patio was such a nice touch. I loved the whole vibe of the room. The bed was comfortable and room was equipped with extra pillows and blankets. There was also an extra bed in the closet. The room was so spacious. I'd guess about 500 sq ft. I stayed here with a friend and we were very comfortable. We will for sure be back. P. S. This is a vegetarian building. They have breakfast in the mornings. Free yoga classes.

I will absolutely stay here again! The room itself is large, including a full kitchen, and very clean(there was an iron, blow dryer, coffee maker but bring your own coffee and cream, and toiletries). I really liked the neighborhood, too. Lots of restaurants and wine/liquor store and a little market across the street. (I stumbled on the ramen restaurant that was on Chef's Table on Netflix and was thrilled).The only thing that some may find a little weird, but it is pretty popular now in NYC, is that you basically let yourself in with a code and pretty much you are on your own. You can call someone if you have any issues and they are very prompt in responding either by phone or text. I loved it-but i could see how some may not if they like to be waited on. P.S. i could not find parking, so i had to park in a lot a couple blocks away which will run you $45 for 24 hours.

This is truly a great place to stay. Great room,location,plenty of free parking and the best,most helpful staff there is.
