We stayed here for three days on 17th May 2012 at the beginning of our holiday in the USA. The hotel is excellent, clean, comfortable, friendly staff who are always there to help and the restaurant attached was very good too, especially for the first night when we did not want to go far. We had a junior suite on... More

The Library Hotel was everything 3 girls could ask for in the Big Apple. The location is perfect (1 block over from 5th Ave.) and within walking distance to central park and many other attractions. But what made it for us was the service: every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful and the front desk staff went above... More

We have wanted to stay at this hotel for a couple of years and this year we stayed there for my birthday. They had wine and chocolates, along with a birthday card, waiting in the room when we arrived, which was the JK suite (they gave a free upgrade because it was my birthday!). Amazing view of the ny public... More

We stayed for seven nights at this charming hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel has furnishings with high quality. Bathroom in our room was great with bathtub even if bedroom is rather small. We had the smallest room. Breakfast was very good and healthy. Very good service all day with refreshments. This is one of... More

We've stayed here twice within a 12 month period and loved it! Hotel, staff and room were all perfect. The thing we loved most was the choice for breakfast (which is rare in NYC apparently)! Room was small but perfectly formed, bathroom gorgeous and bed was so comfy. If we travel to NYC again I wouldn't even look at another... More

We absolutely loved this hotel and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. The reception staff were really friendly, and our room was beautifully appointed, and certainly spacious enough for us. Some reviews say the rooms are noisy but we didn't find this at all. The bed was extremely comfy, and we had huge mirrors behind the desk... More

Having never been to Manhattan before I wanted to do it up right. As I do with all my travels to new and exciting places. After spending time in a boutique hotel in Paris I felt it was only fitting to repeat that in Manhattan. Library Hotel is EXACTLY what I hoped for. Situated a block from Grand Central, a... More
