This was our first time staying at the Library Hotel and we will definitely be returning whenever we visit New York. It is centrally located and walking distance to broadway shows. The second floor had snacks, coffee, waters and beverages that made it convenient to get 24 hrs a day. All of the staff that we encountered were extremely courteous and made our week long stay enjoyable.

The hotel was so cozy and staff was helpful and attentive to our needs with a car, parking and luggage! The room was clean and so cozy! The rooftop bar was perfect for. Beautiful summer night and drinks were made perfect by the staff. The reading room on the second floor was a nice and special place to relax. We shall return!

Beautiful once you can find it

The hotel is not labeled on the outside- the door looks like you’re going into a restaurant which is adjoining. Once you finally figure that out and see there’s a restaurant to the left and books to the right, you assume you made it to the Library and finally see a check in desk. That part was a pain in the rear- we walked up and down the street a bit trying to figure out how to get in. That said..! Once we got in- beautiful hotel and room, check in and service were great. Quaint feeling in a big city with a nice rooftop bar. Each room has a cute theme- made for great conversation starters with our group on business travel. I’d stay again for sure.

Library Hotel was a great stay! Rooms were clean and comfortable, with nice little library-related touches. Loved that we had fruit-infused water, water bottles and fruit and snacks and a casual place to hang out in the Reading Room - it could have been even better if there were more cushy couches/arm chairs but every hotel definitely needs a reading room! Thanks for a great stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed my short stay here. I was in the "Management" room on the 6th floor. Small, but more than ample. Books everywhere, which was a delight. Also enjoyed time in The Reading Room area and the Bookmarks Lounge. Would most definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely time at the Library Hotel. It’s very cozy place with a great rooftop bar and a nice lounge with snacks, tea, coffee, and soft drinks included. Best of all it’s a very short walk to Bryant Park, Grand Central, the theater district, and it’s easy to get any where in the city from the location.

Resort charge? What?

Modest mid town building with comfortable rooms in great location. Huge drawback is the breakfast which I paid for fit 5 nights- everything tastes like cardboard, mediocre coffee, terrible bread. In addition they add an unannounced charge “resort” fee for WiFi and a depressing room they call a lounge with coffee and a few cold drinks- definitely not worth $25 per day and a devious and semi illegal practice.
