Like many others before me, I did some homework on this place before booking. I had high expectaitons going in and am glad to say that the Library Hotel exceeded those expectations. From offering us a free breakfast on the morning before we checked in (we got in early from a red-eye flight), to the promt and helpful responses to... more

To find a hotel that ticks all boxes - are hard to find BUT the Library hotels is such one.

We stayed at the Library Hotel for 7 nights in September. I would definitely stay there again and it's a joy to find somewhere that breaks free from the mould of your average hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially those serving breakfast. The lounge was a bit small for this purpose however the staff were prompt to... more

The Library Hotel stands out amongst the hundreds of other hotel in New York City, for three distinct factors: location--whether for business or pleasure; comfort--calm, relaxing and subdued luxury: and finally, SERVICE--from associates who genuinely care about the quality of your stay.

Pros:... more

It was my first time in NYC and I found the staff extremely helpful. Warm and welcoming atmosphere, I will definitely stay there again when I'm next in NY. I strongly recommend it. more

What a great hotel! We mentioned it was our honeymoon when I booked it online and when we arrived they had upgraded us to a nicer room and left a bottle of sparkling wine in the room for us. They made the whole stay very special--all staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Plus there's free internet... more

We spent 5 nights at this hotel and could not fault anything about it. The staff were extremly friendly and helpful and helped make a great holiday. The breakfast is also included which was very nice (continental type breakfast) there was a wide variety of choices available. One really great touch is the wine and cheese evenings every night from... more
