We love The Library Hotel. Excellent service, friendly staff. Beautiful hotel. We were greeted with wine! So thoughtful, so wonderful. One difficulty - hard for old eyes is how dark the room is. Just a little more light. Nonetheless, we keep coming back to The Library Hotel.

Charming boutique Hotel in a good location. The only challenge was there was no AC because the heat was on it was warm. We had to open our windows and thus noisy other than that. It was a great place to stay.

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.
