Nice hotel but beware construction work

This is a lovely hotel in a great area for public transportation and is just steps away from Grand Central Station. The only drawback was the very loud construction work on the building being conducted through October according to the permit posted. The loud grinding or drilling noise vibrated in my room during the time I was there during the day.

Older boutique hotel close to Bryant park. Hotel in good condition and clean with nice rooftop bar, snack area and restaurant. Price is very high for what you get with a small room. Hotel also under heavy repairs/ maintenance so hidden by all the scaffolding.

Very disappointing. Not worth the price. Room extremely small. TV small and hard to see. Bed uncomfortable. “Free” breakfast (except for the tip we had to pay) ordinary and tasteless. Bathroom tiny and seemed out of the 1980s. I was expecting so much more for the price we paid. Will never come back to a Library hotel again.

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!
