Beautiful Paradise in the city. The Library Hotel is a small boutique hotel who's theme is of course a library! located a block away from NYC library, this extremely clean, well decorated and professionally staffed hotel is amazing. Each floor's theme is from libraries all over this country, such as History, Art, Science, and each of the rooms per floor are a subset of the main topic with such varied choices as zoology, ancient history, photograpy,logic and even paranormal science. Food and drinks are available 24hrs a day, ... read more

No comlaints – This place is seriously cool even for NYC. Service was always nice and very agreeable. The outdoor rooftop garden is a wonderful escape. Rooms are small, but aren't most in the city? Enjoyed it and will return.

Hidden Charm – We had to go to a function at the Waldorf, but we didn't want to stay there, so we entered NY 10017 into Citysearch and this popped up as highly rated. It couldn't have been nicer. Just 60 rooms, but with a great location. Clean, quiet (for NY), and low-key with an amusing theme. Breakfast, included, was good. Nice indoor sitting area with cityviews and fireplace on the roof. We can't wait to go back. Our friends who stayed at the Plaza were jealous. We were not nickled and dimed, either. Free amenities like b... read more

Very Original – The style is subdued but quite impressive. Solemn and can get the right impact at the right time. Worth staying here. Friendly staff.

Library has fairy tale quality – Just returned from a 5-night stay at the Library Hotel and can only say it enhanced my trip 100%. Previous reviewers had commented that the petite rooms were indeed petite, but I found the room to be a perfect size with beautiful mellow furnishings/bathroom to match. From our arrival to departure the staff were nothing but courteous, and when my partner ordered flowers to be delivered with our breakfast they were only too happy to oblige. The bed was thoughtfully turned down every night even ... read more

Can't wait to go back!!! – My boyfriend took me here for my birthday & it was great!!! I love the whole concept of each room having it's own theme!!! The decor is incredible, and even though our room was a little small, it didn't matter, all the furniture was VERY comfy! The service was perfect, when we checked in my boyfriend told them it was for my birthday & they gave us a coupon for a free bottle of wine to have in their resturant, which was also great! The service there was a little slow, but luckily we weren't in any h... read more
