We enjoyed a good stay at the Library in June of this year. Room was a little small but well appointed and comfortable. Service was very good indeed. Has a low key, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Simple but good breakfast and the wine & cheese in the evening an added bonus after a long day site-seeing. Would recommend enjoying a... more

I stayed in room 304 “World Culture” and EFSSBWN is how I would describe this hotel. 1) Expensive: $280 for the standard size room plus $50 tax for a total of $330.00 for one night 2) Friendly: I have to be honest that the staff was very friendly. At check in and checkout they were very nice. 3) Small: The... more

My partner and I visited New York and it was a surprise holiday for me as I had been recovering from an illness. We arrived at the hotel on an extremely hot day mid-afternoon, after a long journey obviously, to find our room was not ready so we had to walk around for an hour or so. By the time... more

Just spent 3 nights here with my wife. Observations are: POSITIVE: Great location (close to Grand Central Station, Empire State Building, Central Park, etc...). Nicely appointed rooms (we had the "Paranormal" room on the 11th floor). Good breakfast (continental breakfast was pretty good and included fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, cereal, yogurt, etc...) and good views of intersection of Madison Avenue... more

We have just had 3 nights at the Library. We chose this hotel because of all the positive reviews, and we can now add to them. Everything is first class, even the bedroom which was small. but very attractive. The only complaint is the safe, I am 6' tall and I had to stretch to use it. The staff are... more

We spent 3 nights at the Liberty Hotel and couldn't have been happier with our choice. The hotel is well located near the public library just off Madison Ave. Our 4th floor room was very quiet and well appointed. The pleasant breakfast room (breakfast is included) is also used for the afternoon complementary wine and cheese. The staff was extremely... more

I called the Library to find out about availability . Egor, the front desk person, gave me misinformation regarding how to pay for the room. I followed his instructions and booked online only for him to call me and tell me he had given me misinformation. I asked to speak to his supervisor to try to fix the problem. When... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend in June and can not recommend this hotel enough. It really does live up to its rave reviews. Its location is spot on and the staff were superb...nothing was too much trouble. It has everything you could need for a city break and more, the wine and cheese platters in the evening were a... more

Myself and a friend made our inaugural trip to NYC for our birthdays and chose to stay at the Library Hotel based on reviews on this site. We were from Toronto and Ottawa respectively so very excited to visit the big city :). The reviews were spot on - a fantastic hotel with loads of character and terrific staff. We... more
