For a beautiful stay in new york I think this is the best place more

My first time at the Libary Hotel - stayed for 7 nights on business. Was upgraded to a Queen sized room at check-in which was a very nice touch - boosted my floor area by 20% which makes a difference if you're staying a week. Read all the good reviews on Tripadvisor before making a booking and I'm happy to... more

I stayed for two evenings in this great midtown hotel. Located near Grand Central made it easy to get anywhere in NY. Stayed in the Almanacs-themed room; great bathroom, very quiet. Nice breakfast, and tea and coffee were available 24 hours in reading room on the 2nd floor. Wireless internet worked in the room with no problems. Staff was very... more

This was our eighth trip to NYC, but our first time staying at Library Hotel. The location is so convenient - literally 1 block away from Grand Central Terminal and the NY Central Public Library . Immediately upon entering the lobby, one begins appreciating the elegant decor. The service: No attitude, and very gracious. We got a room on the... more

I guess the standard of hotels must be pretty low for this to be in the top 5 ranked! It is perfectly fine but for the cost and the expectation... more

The room are ultra chic, very cozy, and provide for a great experience when you are there. the location of this hotel is perfect, central to outstanding dining and nightlife. The staff is cordial and knowledgeable. And the LIBRARY theme... more

I stayed in an appropriately named petite room, which had plenty of storage space. I was in NY for the 2009 marathon and upset that I didn't sleep well due to cars continually thumping over a loose manhole outside. When I complained, Laurence stepped out from behind the desk and charged into the middle of the street with a potential... more

Like many others before me, I did some homework on this place before booking. I had high expectaitons going in and am glad to say that the Library Hotel exceeded those expectations. From offering us a free breakfast on the morning before we checked in (we got in early from a red-eye flight), to the promt and helpful responses to... more
