Disappointed
Booked The Library as I had stopped in a sister hotel on last visit to NYC, and I knew they had a rooftop bar and a great complimentary cheese board. Was very disappointed to learn the rooftop bar was closed for a private event until 9pm and that’s where the cheeseboard was offered! Won’t book here again.

Service provided and the location. Great location for tourist sites and shopping. Initially had a small issue with our room, but the manager changed us into a different room, with an upgrade. Loved the new room. Very kind. As was his time as we chatted for 20 minutes about restaurants. Excellent restaurants around. Madison and Vine was so convenient and excellent as was the Mediterranean restaurant around the corner. Really enjoyed the 24 hour access to the room on level 2 for complimentary drinks and snacks. Some variety would be great though. Gym access to Blink fitness was seamless. Hard working doorman was delightful. Thanks for a lovely stay.

My wife and I had a wonderful five-day stay at the Library Hotel. The location on the corner of Madison and 41st Street is conveniently a block from Bryant Park and the NY Public Library to the west, and Grand Central Station to the east. With regards dining, there are a dozen restaurants within a block of the hotel, as well as the Madison & Vine restaurant adjacent to the first floor check-in area. We especially enjoyed the 2nd floor lounge, a book-filled library space, with coffee, tea, and snacks 24-7. The rooftop bar-lounge is a pleasant place to spend a couple of hours relaxing. Finally, hotel staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful, ready to provide assistance or information whenever needed. A special thanks to Office Manager Arman for helping us with transportation upon our departure, as well as Doorman Steven for his cheerful self.
