“A fantastic venue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

This was our second visit to NYC (16 years after the first). This time around we did not want to see the city on a budget. The website for the hotel looked great and the experience did not disappoint. All the staff (every single one) was fantastic and a credit to the hotel. New York is not a cheap city... More

“Service is outstanding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

I was just at the Library for a business trip, and had a great experience. I got delayed into the city and didn't get to the hotel until 10:30, right when room service was ending. The front desk staff couldn't have been nicer, calling the restaurant to have them extend service so that I could order dinner (and the food... More

“Excellent Boutique Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

The Library Hotel is in a central location at Madison Avenue and 41st Street in midtown Manhattan, convenient to all locations for both business travelers and leisure travelers. The staff is friendly and well trained. The rooms and bathrooms are reasonably sized for a small, boutique hotel and well equipped. There is plenty of storage space for your clothing and... More

Dear Traveltheworld57_10, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am glad you mention that the entrance of the Hotel is located just East of Madison Avenue on 41st Street. It is typical for New York City buildings to have the address on the Avenue and the main entrance on the side street where it... More

“Good apart from one major flaw”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

The library, a converted office rather than an office in downtown New York, just off Madison Avenue, is a small hotel in a good downtown location. It has considerable charm, with lots of books, and reasonably attentive staff. However, the Library has ONE MAJOR FLAW... which may put many off.... It has no sound proofing on the windows. This is... More

Dear Charles D, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. New York is a vibrant city and whether you’re uptown, midtown or downtown, you are correct, there is lots of noise. We run very high occupancy so our hotel is filled nearly every night and for the vast majority of our guests, as you can see from... More

“charming!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2013

I only wish there had been more books... not as many in the room to peruse as I'd hoped. But the library area with food was great, and the Dewey Decimal theme for the floor/room numbering, antique card catalog in the lobby, and proximity to the NY public library all went so well with the theme. Would definitely return!

I just spent ten days at this Hotel, I returned on 30/05/2013. The location is two minutes walk from Grand Central station and about 15 minutes walk to Time Square. The staff are very friendly and helpful at all times. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I had a queen size room which was roomy enough for two. The... More

Cannot say enough great things about this lovely and charming hotel! My daughter and I stayed in the Dinosaur room which is a Deluxe Room and one of the larger because it is a corner room.

“Great Oasis for NYC pace!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2013

My wife and I stayed for five nights at this hotel. The breakfast and happy hour are excellent, the room was immaculate and clean, and the service was excellent. The rooftop bar is a little hidden gem to seek peace after hectic New York City touring. We would go back again and stay. The rooms are European small, and the... More
