Rooms are smallish, but bathrooms are among the best in this category of hotels. Library lounge doubles as breakfast room ( usually included in room price), tea room andnwork room. Coffee, teas, crackers, and after 5 pm, wine and cheese are offered, as is the free internet access making up for the small room and actually great space to relax,... More

Great location on Madison Ave, fantastic service. Rooms are small but this is expected of NYC. Loved that each floor had its own theme. Walking distance to major attractions... NYC Public Library, Empire State, Grand Central Terminal. Very central. Excellent breakfast and good selection of wines and cheeses at afternoon tea. Great to take a break at the lounge after...

I wanted to stay in mid-town because I had many business meetings in the area. I had found the Library Hotel on TripAdvisor. But, I have to say it exceeded my expectations. The staff is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable 24/7. Included in your room is breakfast, wi fi and wine and cheese in the evening. I opted for the petite... More

We've stayed many times at The Library Hotel, and are always pleased with everything - very friendly staff, extraordinary amenities (great breakfast, fun wine and cheese reception) make it a great bargain, too. The bargain rates offered this winter meant we could stay an extra day on my birthday weekend, and it worked out fine. Of course we will return... More

We live in NJ but I booked a room here for a night to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday in the city. Room was perfect- I took advantage of their rose petal package which really helped to make it a special night. The lounge on the 14th floor has a great atmosphere and a nice outdoor area. We also thoroughly enjoyed... More

The rooms are spotless. The staff members are exceptionally friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The hotel provides an excellent breakfast and a nice selection of cheese, wine, and snacks late afternoon in the Library lounge on the second floor. We have visited NYC once or twice a year for the past 5 years and have never had a nicer experience. More

This was a perfect boutique hotel. Great location, lovely rooms and superlative service. On top of that, the rooftop patio and the better-than-usual breakfast are add-ons that make this a perfect spot. Would definitely recommend, and go back again. More

Fantastic location - just 1 block from Grand Central in one direction, 1 block from the main library and Bryant Park in the other. Clean, comfortable rooms. Yes, the rooms are small, but this is NYC. Most rooms are small. We loved that each room was Dewey Decimal-numbered, and had a theme of a type of book. Staff - very... More

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in, in my entire life (and i'm ancient). Everything is great - and the ambience in the Reading Room (where the breakfast is served & you can get snacks all day long) is so lovely that I could live there. The hotel also has probably the best (and free) wifi in... More
