When I turned on the shower...Brown water came out and the drain was semi plugged and slow for the water to drain. At the end of my shower I was standing in 5" of water. I told the front desk and was told that is normal. I was expecting a discount for the inconvenience. I let them know of this issue after the first night of my 3 day stay. I left disappointed. For the money I spent per night, I was expecting better hospitality.

I really enjoyed the Library Hotel. It was small with very friendly helpful staff. They had a lovely lounge floor where there was fresh coffee, water, snacks, fresh fruit available 24/7. The floors all had literary themes and each room a genre within that theme with books galore inside! It was quite charming.

Lost its Way

This property has lost its soul. The service on 2nd floor, which was so iconic to hotel, is gone; the room interior was worn out and dated; and the resort fee is a joke. Very sad for someone how has stayed for so many years.

Excellent location. Great staff.

I spent a weekend here and enjoyed my stay. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The location is excellent. Right next to Grand Central Station. If you’re flying into JFK you can take the LIRR directly to Grand Central which is especially convenient. You are within walking distance of many of the City’s top attractions. The rooms were nice and functional. However they are very small and have some wear and tear. But that’s the case with most of nyc’s hotels. They have a relaxing and comfortable lounge on the 2nd floor with coffee, fruit, and snacks. They also have roof top bar which is pretty cool.

Highly recommend! The staff was wonderful, and the hotel very clean and well-kept. We loved that there was the 2nd floor reading room filled with books, tables to work from, and 24 hours of beverages and snacks. We weren't so thrilled with the first-floor restaurant. The roof bar had great appetizers and a wonderful staff. Close to everywhere we needed to be and out of all the major noise and congestion of the City. We will be visiting again, as well as their other hotels.

Amazing boutique hotel in midtown

Rooms were roomy (for nyc) and perfect location. 2 blocks from Bryant park and 3-4 to Times Square. 2 blocks from 5th Avenue. Rooftop bar drinks were delicious and space was welcoming and fun. Could not have asked for better service with check in/ check out. Great value for a fabulous hotel.

The Library Hotel in Manhattan is a very nice property. The best thing about our stay was the front desk staff. They were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The room was nice but there is very little indoor lighting and the weather was very dreary on our trip so it seemed dark. The value for the location and property was very good. I would stay there again.
