The Library hotel is a real oasis of calm in the otherwise frenetic big city. Located close to Grand Central station (including the bus shuttle to JFK) and handy for the subway, the hotel is a great find. Each room is individually designed to match a different literary theme and although the rooms a very small (this is New York... more

The Library Hotel's location is perfect--just a short walk to Grand Central Terminal, where I could take the subway or make connections. The hotel is in easy walking distance of many New York attractions. Since I was traveling alone, I wanted a hotel that was in a good, safe location. Because of the hotel's proximity to the subway system, I... more

This is the second visit. Great access to Grand Central. Staff very courteous. Breakfast buffet very nice, like the 14th Floor Bar and Terrrace. We'll stay again if we need to be in this area of Manhatten. more

Arrived at the hotel at 9 a.m following a very bad 24 hours (cancelled flight!) and luggage missing.......to be warmly welcomed by front desk staff. Although it was far too early to be able to check into our room we were offered breakfast and the use of all hotel facilities. We were also directed to the best places to buy... more

The room was clean and... more

A complimentary bottle of champagne awaited our arrival, and the room, staff and little extras (turn down service, wine & cheese in the afternoons, helpful concierge) all made for a memorable visit. We wouldn't... more

The room was comfortable and nicely appointed. I strongly advise checking out their excellent website to get a feel for the concept of the hotel. We couldn't have been more pleased with all the... more

We stayed at this hotel for 4 days in August 2008. The staff and the information/service that they provided were superb. Room (junior suite) great. Location central. Breakfast, snacks, wine and cheese,what more can you ask for. We were very pleased, thought it good value and would go again/recommend. more

My husband and I got engaged at the Library Hotel in their roofop Poetry Garden a couple years ago, so this boutique gem is incredibly special to us both. We recently returned for a quick anniversary celebration and were very happy to once again experience the charm and amenities of the Library. The reception/lobby staff here are incredibly accommodating, approachable... more
