Always a pleasure to stay at Library Hotel! We not only enjoy the amenities, they are our reason for making LH our NYC home whenever we visit family and friends (stayed up way too late reading books I found in our room and in the lounge!). The location is perfect for us, near so many favorite places and restaurants, and convenient to the subway and Amtrak. Can't wait to come back soon!

We had a wonderful stay at the Library Hotel. The room was perfectly located around the sites and major transportation locations. The temperature did mess up the ac two days but the staff was so accommodating to help get us through the nights. I would highly recommend the Library Hotel to my friends and anyone looking to travel to NYC to check out the sites!

Lovely hotel with a library room with refreshments as well as a roof top bar. My room was one of the smaller ones, and therefore cheaper, but plenty big enough for what I needed. A very comfy bed and welcome aircon. Close enough to things but far enough away to be quiet inside. Would definitely stay again and would recommend it.
