Couldn't fault it! I booked it on the back of reviews from this website. I also chose it over other 4/5 star hotels because of its size - not some 1000 room hotel where you are just another number - but a place where the staff knew you. Walter, Michael and Billy were extremely helpful and great to talk too.... more

I have just come back from a long weekend in New York and can safely say that the Library Hotel is one of the best which the city has to offer. The thing which really sets the place apart is the standard of service which was uniformly high. Each employee seems to try to do everything they can to make... more

Having decided to marry in NYC we then used TA to choose a suitably romantic, luxurious hotel. Not being fans of big impersonal hotels we found the Library fitted the bill perfectly. Apart from being spotlessly clean and wonderfully quiet it had a lovely bed and bedlinen, a spacious bathroom and lots of storage space. We particularly liked the little... more

Loved this place. Was so relieved as we had never stayed in NYC before. Used Trip Advisor to make the decision on this place as it was ranked #3 then. Saw some other hotels for the same price per night ($350) and would choose this one over them by a mile. Beautiful room - small, but very modern and clean.... more

We booked a 4 night stay at the Library Hotel over our wedding anniversary but were very disappointed. The hotel itself is fine - the rooms are clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. It didn't however have the wow factor we had expected from the reviews and website. Our room - one of the most expensive in the... more

This hotel is a gem. Whilst the rooms are European rather than American in size they work very well with all the facilities you need - and the staff could not have been more helpful or attentive. The theme of library and books creates a uniqueness that is carried into the Reading Room and the Poetry Garden on the roof... more

A very nice smaller hotel conveniently located in Manhattan. I have been here on business and with the family: it is great for kids though not by any means "targeted" at kids, because of the penthouse lounge views over the city and the raidable snack supplies! But it is sophisticated and smart (not overrun by my family!) and quiet and... more

We stayed in the Library Hotel for the first 4 nights of our honeymoon. It was ideal & just what we were looking for to start our 3 week break in the States. Librarians greeted us with a bottle of champagne & a nice welcome note after our long trip from Scotland. We were given a good room 'Paranormal' &... more

The Library hotel is a real oasis of calm in the otherwise frenetic big city. Located close to Grand Central station (including the bus shuttle to JFK) and handy for the subway, the hotel is a great find. Each room is individually designed to match a different literary theme and although the rooms a very small (this is New York... more

The very conscientious and considerate staff at the Library Hotel made my brief stay in the city a great pleasure. I arrived two hours before scheduled check-in time and the staff hurried to arrange a room for me. Following a very brief wait (less than 45 minutes) I was situated in an “upgraded” room – larger than I had reserved... more
