My friend and I had a great experience at the Sanctuary Guest Suites. It was nothing fancy, but in an amazing location and exactly what we needed for a reasonably price in NYC. I would recommend that any one stay here that’s looking for a functional place to stay with fantastic staff and reasonable rates!

I stayed in the penthouse suite with two friends for five days in September 2009, and I had stayed there once previously with my father. The beds are great, there is a kitchen big enough to make meals, a full size refrigerator, a washer, and a flat screen TV, all in perfect working order. But the gem of the place is the rooftop, which can be accessed up stairs straight from the suite. We spent every night sipping wine on the roof, admiring the view and having a generally great time. We invited a few NY friends over several times, and it was a delightful spot for relaxing and reminiscing. The neighborhood is great; plenty of reasonably priced and very good restaurants within a few blocks, and good grocery stores nearby. I would definitely stay there again and again, and recommend it to anyone.

I have stayed at the Sanctuary twice now and each time I have enjoyed my stay. The rooms are ample, clean and the location is prime. For the eclectic NYC guest this is the perfect place.

This was my second(and not last) time staying at the Sanctuary Guesthouse, I love staying there because the rooms are always clean, well decorated, and comfy. The staff are also very helpful and incredible nice. It’s always a comfort to not just have a room to stay in, but an apartment, so that when I come back at the end of the day I feel like I’m coming home and not just to some hotel. I cannot say good enough things about this place, I rate it high not only in comfort, but atmosphere, location, reasonable pricing, and service. If your wondering where to stay in New York I can’t think of a better option.

I could not have been happier with this spot. Close to Whole Foods, so I could fill my fridge and cook in the well appointed kitchen. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

The Sanctuary Guest house is very special, welcoming, nice, clean, perfectly located, not too expansive… I was there 3 times already for 4 nights each time. The quality is constant. The terrace is fantastic. The people are helpful and very nice. I recommend that place without hesitation.

Great accommodation for a stay in NYC. Our apartment was perfectly clean, very pleasantly decorated and the location is great for those who want to be downtown. It’s brilliant to have the team on hand there for general questions, to assist with your luggage (if you have as much as we had!) and we really appreciated having our breakfast there. If you are staying for a few days, you may want one of the larger apartments with a TV but it depends on your requirements for the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we will be staying there again.

My 18 year old daughter and I rented the penthouse suite and it was exactly what we expected from the pictures on their website. The East Villiage is definately the place to stay when visiting, its a $15 (USD) cab ride to the hub of the city (Central Park for example) but just far enough away from all the crowds. Note if you want to stay in the penthouse be prepared to go up six flights of stairs (but well worth it). The team of employees are wonderful and friendly. Very easy place to stay. I have told all my friends about this location (in fact I found it from a friend of mine who stayed there). I give it a Big THUMBS UP!!!!!!

From the booking process, I had most excellent experience with the staff. When I arrived with my group of 9 people for a yoga tour of NY, we were well treated and we were all surprised by the size of the rooms, the breakfast area and the rooftop garden. It is an amazing place and I wouldn’t think of staying elsewhere in NYC.

The location was perfect and close to everything by either walking or subway. The apartment was clean and enough room for the three of us. We will definitely stay here again when we visit. The staff was very helpful and nice. For the price – you can’t beat it! Highly recommend.

I was amazed at how large these suites are for the price. It’s like having your own (fully stocked) NYC apartment! Great downtown location with an amazing rooftop where you can hang out overlooking the lights of Manhattan. Highly recommended!

This is my favorite place to stay in NYC. The Sanctuary Guest Suites are located in the Lower East Side filled with great restaurants and an array of small bars and intimate music venues. Besides the immaculately clean spacious apartment, the building also offers a beautiful rooftop with views of the Manhattan skyline and a breakfast spread offered daily in the office lounge. The staff at SGS are accommodating and friendly and I look forward to seeing my new “friends” each time I visit my home away from home. As a Long Islander I look forward to my weekend trips in the city and will most definitely return to Sanctuary Guest Suites. I highly recommend this property to anyone interested in a weekend getaway or an extended stay.

We had a great stay at The Sanctuary in NYC. It’s comfortable, clean and affordable. We had one room for 5 of us and still everyone was accommodated very nicely. The location is also incredible. Very easy access to subway, buses or taxi. Nearby (walking distance) are plenty of great restaurants, cafes, and parks to enjoy. I definitely recommend The Sanctuary for anyone planning to spend their vacation in NYC.

I visit NYC about 4 times a year and this is my first time staying at this location and i have to say its been my best stay in NYC. If you would rather eat home made food then eat out every night then no worries because they have an entire kitchen and a dishwasher. This place is nice enough to call home…bring friends over too!

Ive been to New York countless times, but never has my stay been as comfortable and relaxed as this time when I stayed at the Sanctuary Guest suites. Spacious, tastefully decorated, and sleep-inducing beds. A warm recommendation from me! I will definitely stay here the next time I pass through!

Every time that I come up to New York, I stay at the Sanctuary Guests Suites! It is nice to have a place to stay that feels like a home where you can cook and even entertain. You can’t beat the location next to everything. It’s a short walk to shops on Broadway, Houston, Whole Foods, Soho. Goura, Mario, and everyone that works there is also very helpful and easy to work with. I definitely recommend staying here!

We were very happy to stay in Sanctuary suites in NYC. The suite was clean, quiet and included just about everything we needed. Also, the breakfast was included which came handy in the morning. I have to mention that since we were traveling by car I was really worried about parking fees, however parking on the street was free, safe and unlimited (except an hour twice a week when they wash the streets). The rooftop is fantastic, area is quiet and safe. I can highly recommend this place. Samo

We stayed in the Samadhi Suite for a couple of nights and loved it! Finding the Sanctuary via cab was no problem at all. They provided us with detailed information. The apartment was on the third floor and it looked & felt exactly like on the pictures. Warm tones, comfy furniture, everything was clean and very well maintained! The spiritual books and yoga pictures gave it a relaxing atmosphere! On top of that the staff was super friendly and helpful whenever we needed something.
The location was brilliant! You can walk over to Broadway for some Shopping, to Mercer Kitchen for dinner or just pick up a snack at Wholefoods around the corner. All in all a perfect alternative to a hotel. We would recommend it to our friends anytime!

My stay at the Sanctuary Guest Suites was excellent.
The staff was very friendly and helpful right from the moment of check in to the day I left. They provided me with useful info about the neighborhood, even where to purchase a refill card for my cell phone.
The property was clean, quiet and with all the amenities one may need.
The apartment building is in a great location. Minutes walk from restaurants, bars, stores of all denomination (including the local supermarket) bus stops and 2nd Avenue Subway Station which connect the East Village with the rest of Manhattan and numerous tourist attractions like Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Chinatown, Little Italy and more.
I would definitely recommend this property to friends and also use it again myself next time I’m in NYC, beats staying at ANY hotel 100 times fold.

This place is great!
The rooms are clean and beautifully furnished…it made me want to move in! The style is both modern yet ‘quaint-european’ and the staff are kind and attentive. And its AFFORDABLE! I will definitely return and I recommend it to all my friends!
Sanctuary guest suites was great, i was staying in NY for 3 weeks for work and the thought of staying a hotel for that length of time is enough to sully any-ones trip to the fantastic NY city. I stayed in the penthouse suite which was very nicely decorated and had great natural light (although up 5 flights of stairs). The apartment is fully decked out, wifi, tv, dvd, washer dryer, dishwasher and all very modern. The location is excellent for those wanting a true East Village experience. A note to anyone actually wanting to cook in the kitchen, it is great for simple meals but don’t expect to be able to cook a 3 course dinner.
Highly recommended

We stayed with my family for over a month at one of the apartment that they have at Santuary Guest and Suites. We enjoy every minute of this stay. The personnel, the great breakfast included (hard to find in NYC) and the amenities are great. We will come back for sure

We loved our stay in NY. The people at the suites made us feel at home and the room is wonderfully decorated and comfortable. We also loved the location. Every day we woke up outside the typical touristic area and in the middle of a real New Yorker neighborhood with its cafes and little ethnic restaurants. We could finally afford something without going broke.

Staying at the Sanctuary Guest Suites felt like we had our own apartment right in the heart of the East Village convenient to the subway and streets full of cafes, galleries, funky clothing shops, and convenience stores for whatever we needed. We prepared and ate several meals in the apartment and even had some of our New York City friends over for dinner at “our place”. Really helpful staff and a great view of the city skyline from the roof deck. We’ll definitely be back!

Staying at Sanctuary allowed me (and my son) to feel as if we were actually living in NYC. Everything was easy and the location is ideal. I am glad we chose the apartment rather than going to a hotel and really enjoyed our stay. I would happily go back there next time I am in NYC.

I have enjoyed my stay at the sanctuary guest hotel so much that when I’ll visit again NYC (I hope soon 
) no doubt I will make the same choice. The place makes you feel like a newyorker in some respect. For me it was like being part of the neighborhood. A few things require being open to. Breakfast is not served: the guests have to help theirselves (which I prefer) and walking stairs up to six stores (if I recall it right) if you go for the penthouse. The hosts are friendly and supportive.

We can’t say enough about Sanctuary Suites. We found them online by chance when looking for an affordable way to stay in New York. The staff provided a wonderfully tranquil studio suite, attended to our occasional needs, and even babysat our daughter for us (introducing us to Yo Gabba Gabba in the meantime). All in all, it was an unambiguously positive experience and we would recommend it without hesitation.

We enjoyed, as a family of 5, traveling with 3 teens, being in a quiet flat. The small space, but yet friendly,was ideal for bonding together.
The great Whole Food grocery store very near was a perfect place to get supper…and reduce expenses!

This is a great place to stay with kids. It’s convenient to everything downtown, and right by the subway. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Don’t expect good service – it’s pretty much leave and be left alone. But there is an office downstairs if you need something.
Be prepared for the four floor walkup.

Hey! Great place and great people! The best room and location in NY. Clean, cozy and had everything to live in. And yes, the penthouse view is great! The only thing was to walk up 5 floor to reach our apartment, but that’s ok, it’s just because i’m a bit lazy. I will stay there again for sure! Cheers! Leo

The place we stayed at was very suitable or 4 people travelling. Breakfast was simple but nice. The cost was reasonable. The rooms were a bit smaller than what I thought however, were probably average size for a NY appartment. Nicely presented appartments and comfortable beds. Great location and access to internet and printer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Thanks Mario
