I loved my stay. Staff were nice and accommodating. Access to the second floor with seating, snacks and books was a really nice amenity. It was mostly quiet even while some construction is going on during the day. Get midtown location as well, very close to Bryant park and grand central and not too far from theaters and Times Square. Would definitely stay again when back in NYC.

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!

This hotel was a short walk to restaurants and many attractions. It was located in a safe area and had many great amenities. One of our favorite was 24 hr access to beverages and snacks on the second floor. We will be returning again.

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.
