Our stay was fantastic! The library theme is lovely and we enjoyed browsing through the many books throughout the property. The Reading Room on the second floor was lovely - we enjoyed the atmosphere, snacks, and beverages and very much appreciated their being available 24 hours. The staff were courteous and helpful throughout as well. The location in midtown is also extremely convenient for Grand Central, shows, Time Square, and an array of subway lines which made getting around the city a breeze.

Always a pleasure to stay at Library Hotel! We not only enjoy the amenities, they are our reason for making LH our NYC home whenever we visit family and friends (stayed up way too late reading books I found in our room and in the lounge!). The location is perfect for us, near so many favorite places and restaurants, and convenient to the subway and Amtrak. Can't wait to come back soon!

Excellent location and willing staff. The room lighting especially the bathroom lighting needs to be much brighter. Modern LED lights could give guests the option of bright or not but currently the only option is dim. A great shaving mirror is rendered useless by the poor bathroom lighting. This is our second stay and still the exterior is covered with scaffolding. How much longer?

The room is thoughtfully laid out for your comfort..anything you could want is provided..the breakfast room etc. are all perfect. So is the staff. Would have liked to have dinner at the restaurant, however, the noise decibels were too much for our ancient ears.. next visit will try lunch.

I had a wonderful stay at Library Hotel! Born and raised in NYC, this was actually my first time staying at a hotel in my own city. I wanted to surprise my best friend, who is a total bookworm, and let me tell you I am not exaggerating when I say I had to pick her jaw up off the floor! What I loved most about this hotel was its classic, old-school New York charm and the way it incorporates the library theme without ever feeling over-the-top or in-your-face. One of my favorite parts of the stay was the Reading Room, where breakfast, 24-hour refreshments, and snacks are available. The attendant there was so lovely, and I genuinely looked forward to chatting with her every morning. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we loved that each room has its own unique theme. The complimentary books you can choose from at check-in were the perfect finishing touch for a hotel that truly celebrates its theme. We were staying for a best-friends weekend and a concert at MSG, and the location was perfect. We could easily walk to Madison Square Garden, Central Park, and everywhere else we wanted to explore, while still being away from the chaos of Times Square. I absolutely loved this hotel and cannot wait to come back!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Library Hotel and cannot wait to return. The commitment to the literary theme is thoughtful without ever feeling gimmicky. Every detail, from the beautiful book-inspired décor to the cozy bathrobe, to getting to pick a book to take home adds to the experience. The staff were genuinely warm, welcoming, and consistently went above and beyond. I had a chaotic day of cancelled flights and stormy weather and their reception truly turned it all around. One of my favorite touches was the Reading Room, with its endless supply of complimentary snacks and drinks surrounded by shelves of books.. such a perfect place to unwind after exploring the city. Though I didn't get to spend time in the restaurant or bar, they looked beautiful and the views were immaculate as the kids say. The location is another huge plus: close enough to walk to all the major sights, but tucked away just enough to escape the chaos of Times Square. It felt like a peaceful retreat in the middle of Manhattan, and right by the library and Bryant Park. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
