We had a very pleasant stay at the Library. Its cute, the rooftop bar was awesome. It's was a good location for all our activities. The 24 hour coffee/snack reading room is a huge bonus! The restaurant was awesome. This was my 3rd time staying and I'll stay there next time as well.

There was someone using a jack hammer out side our window from 9:30 to 5:00 pm all 4 days. We requesed to be moved twice and were told that the only rooms like ourd were above us or below us so the noise would be the same. Fine, why not offer to move us to a different type of room. We ended up leaving 4 hour early and just hung out in the airport. What a waste of $725.00 a night.

Unique: each room has a literature theme (e.g., history, nature, business, even erotic literature!) which made it fun and a great conversation piece. The lounge with coffees, teas, waters, juices, fruits and snacks was super convenient (and essential given the room does not have coffee machine) and is also a nice library and lounge. Staff was helpful. The restaurant on the main floor was very good for breakfast and dining.

An oasis in crazy New York City!

The Library Hotel is an oasis in crazy New York. Very handy for a visit to the Public Library, close to Grand Central Station, but also an easy walk to Broadway, Madison Square Garden and Central Park. For anything else the Metro is efficient and easy to use. The rooftop bar is great for drinks or a light meal, while the residents' lounge was handy for coffees, snacks and soft drinks. We hadn't realised we had breakfast included - well worth it as the restaurant did a decent variety of options...and was also excellent in the evening if you didn't want to leave the hotel after a long day sightseeing. I would pick the Library Hotel again if I come back to NYC

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.
