What an amazing hotel! Very friendly staff and the 24 hour lounge with books, drinks and snacks is a treasure. We a small issue with our TV not workings they sent someone right up to check it out and then quickly moved us to another room! Definitely returning here for our next NYC stay!
We love The Library Hotel. Excellent service, friendly staff. Beautiful hotel. We were greeted with wine! So thoughtful, so wonderful.
One difficulty - hard for old eyes is how dark the room is. Just a little more light. Nonetheless, we keep coming back to The Library Hotel.
A great hotel, the staff was wonderful and went above and beyond. We were so pleased with the room and the size of both our rooms.Great location too. Will be back.

Great location, helpful staff, wonderful restaurant attached
Great location, friendly staff, clean, and best all of for me - quiet at night!! Will definitely put The Library Hotel on my short list of return hotels.
Staff were excellent. Rooftop bar was nice. 2nd floor coffee and tea 24 hour service in lounge was nice with Snacks of some fruit and nut bars. Bed comfortable. Room very small. No where to sit so the 2nd floor lounge is a good option. Hotel could use some updating. Very convenient to theaters.
Loved this little boutique hotel, great location, close to Grand Central Terminal and Bryant Park, we could get around the city very easily. The decor (book theme) was fabulous and the staff was super friendly and helpful!
