A must for a book lover
A gem of a hotel in Midtown. One of few hotels where the resort fee gives you added value. Very comfortable room, altough the AC isn’t the most quiet one I’ve ever encountered but it was efficient. Lovely staff, the roof terrace is to die for and we lived the guest lounge!

My daughter and I recently stayed at the Library Hotel for 2 nights and it was amazing! What a joy to leave the busy, loud streets of NYC behind and step into this quiet, calm, clean, beautifully appointed sanctuary. The rooms each have a theme - along with 50 books on the topic! We had the New Age room and enjoyed looking through the various books. Comfortable bed/clean bedding, small desk and nice sized bathroom. The shower was tiled, a nice touch for a hotel. The library was a wonderful space for 24/7 snacks and relaxation. There was calming music, a piano (which I played) and hundreds of books. Also fresh fruit, a variety of nuts and snacks, coffee, tea and a cappuccino machine. The rooftop bar is a great place for drinks and more substantial snacks, and the Madison and Vine restaurant is wonderful! The front desk and lobby staff was warm and welcoming. We felt very safe at this property. Just a few easy blocks to Times Square and the theater district! Also close to many parks. And great shopping/eating! Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and will stay here again when in the city.

Wonderful two-night stay
Really impressed with this hotel. All hotel staff was beyond pleasant and accommodating and the staff at the restaurant on the property (Madison and vine) were also excellent. Room was small but that’s NYC but clean and comfortable bed and pillows. Very child-friendly- they left a book and a personalized note in the room for my 8 year-old.

The Library is a small gem near Grand Central, 5th ave, Bryant Park. The front desk is so kind and patient and we love the gentle safe "vibe" of it. The coffee and related on the second floor is so nice and convenient. Love the packaged Sahali treats. I highly recommend this charming and generous hotel. The upstairs bar and terrace are also lovely although we don't drink much so don't get up there much. Still it is all a darling gem of a place to stay.

Free coffee and water 24 hours a day.
The 2nd floor lounge made this trip. Loved the option to grab a coffee or water. Complimentary cheese board on the rooftop bar (as long we you buy 2 drinks). Gave a solo traveller same portion as a couple of which was nice to see. Room was very dark despite being over 41st street. Even with blinds open, I needed a light to see. I think it was a dark wood finishes. Bed, bedding and pillows were very comfortable. TV was tiny but didn’t really use it. Bathroom good and a decent size for one. Aircon was spot on. Will definitely look to stay again as so close to the areas I wanted this trip.

Seems to be differentiated from other Library Properties, all of which are good based on staying at several of them. But this one is unique as a "library"

The hotel is located in a central but relatively quiet area of Manhattan. The staff was friendly during check-in and gave me a free upgrade with my Hotels.com membership status. The room was comfortable and well-maintained.

Stephen the doorman at the Library Hotel is very polite, friendly and helpful. Which is the reason I changed my rating from a 4 star to a 5 star review. To the hotel manager, I would like to say that Stephen gives an excellent first impression of the hotel and deserves a pay rise for his excellent attitude.

We enjoyed staying at the Library Hotel. The theme was throughout the hotel with rooms numbered like the Dewey decimal system in a library. The reading room offered free snacks and cold soft drinks along with fresh coffee each day. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The rooftop bar was great. We walked to Central Park, Bryant Park, and Grand Central station was 5 minutes away.
