This is our 2nd stay at the Library. We love it.
The staff (front desk ) to the bell stand attendant are so friendly and helpful. We check in and immediately go up to rooftop bar. Great cocktails and food. Love the space up there. We got an upgrade with a small charge. Worth it. The rooms are a good size for a NY hotel. Sometimes boutique hotel rooms are so small. It is so convenient from Grand Central and a great 1/2 location for uptown downtown spots. 1 suggestion is they need to work on the Madison and Vine breakfast service. Food is delicious but service is slow and not sure if its a Sunday morning not enough staff thing, but this is the 2nd time we did breakfast there and there was tops 7 people in the restaurant including us and it took a long time. Only criticism. But honestly, will not stop us from going a third time because the food was really good. Will be back soon.

Lovely hotel with a library room with refreshments as well as a roof top bar. My room was one of the smaller ones, and therefore cheaper, but plenty big enough for what I needed. A very comfy bed and welcome aircon. Close enough to things but far enough away to be quiet inside. Would definitely stay again and would recommend it.

The staff was extremely helpful, polite and went out of their way to help us. We were having trouble getting a cab, I believe his name was Oscar, went out into the pouring rain to hail us a cab. The library room on the second floor was a great spot to hang out and have some snacks and refreshments. The room was very quaint, clean and comfortable. We had a free breakfast in the restaurant, this was a nice sit down with wait staff and full menu, not a continental spread. They did offer fruit and other items in the library also. The entire experience was excellent. We will definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Library Hotel. The room was perfectly located around the sites and major transportation locations. The temperature did mess up the ac two days but the staff was so accommodating to help get us through the nights.

I would highly recommend the Library Hotel to my friends and anyone looking to travel to NYC to check out the sites!

Conveniently located at 41st and Madison, just a block away from Bryant Park, the public library, the 42nd street subway stop and 5th Avenue shopping. The 2nd floor lounge is a quiet spot to reset with complimentary snacks, beverages and fruit. The rooms are typical New York small but cozy with the cute library theme. For those who receive complimentary breakfast at the adjacent Madison & Vine restaurant, the food is fine but the service is inconsistent and slow.

The nicest people work at the Library Hotel. The rooms are adorable and the second floor lounge was so welcome and had what we needed as a snack and a drink. Made it up to the rooftop bar at 10:45- beware it closes at 11pm. Wish we had gone earlier- it looked great with a view of the Empire State Building.
The rooms are little- but you are in NYC to explore, not hang in the room. It’s close to easy cab hailing, restaurants, theater, shopping.
The book theme is clever and works great so close to the main branch.
I’d love to see other rooms. We’ll return!

Room was very clean. Daily housekeeping provided. Front desk, housecleaning and front door staff were all very friendly and helpful. Really liked the 2nd floor hospitality suite. It was a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing in NYC. Rooms were pretty small, but 2nd floor suite allowed for stretching out with more space. We could hear some street noise, during busy hours at night and morning, but not enough to prevent an enjoyable stay. Location was very convenient. Would stay here again.

The services provided by this hotel were formerly exceptional and worth the higher price. It had an air of luxury that was appreciated. We always stayed at the Library or Casablanca when in New York. Before covid, a lovely continental breakfast was provided on the second floor as well as wine and cheese at happy hour. Now there are no services provided but a $25 per day resort fee has been imposed. We asked for slippers and were told they would be delivered only to be told later that they had been ordered but there was a delay by the supplier so they were not available. The outside temp at night was in the 40's but the heat had not even been turned on in the hotel. We were given a space heater. Several days later, it appeared that the heat was turned on as our room was too hot. Although there is a thermostat in the room, it does not work and you cannot control the temperature in your room. I needed a pen and paper to jot down the name of a restaurant but none are even provided in the room. There was not even a soap dish in the bathroom. The liquid dispensers in the shower are very difficult to operate. The \"free\" breakfast now at the restaurant on ground level was not valuable to us. Although we could get a $20 omelette, we could not get a bagel or a latte without paying for it. The staff is still lovely but we won't be returning. When it feels like a chain hotel, we may as well pay the cheaper prices for one. This group of hotels has changed ownership in 2025.

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.

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
