I had an amazing stay at the Library Hotel, where the entire experience felt so tailored and warm. The location was perfect, sitting just a short walk from both Bryant Park and Grand Central Station. While my room was on the smaller side, it was cozy and beautifully appointed. I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and the nightly cheese and wine social, although the air conditioning could be a bit noisy at times. Overall, this hotel will be my go-to choice during my trips to NYC!
My stay at the Library Hotel was good. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my visit. I enjoyed the charming details in my room, like the themed decor with a nod to literary categories. However, the petite room was a bit cramped, and I missed having a coffee machine for my morning rituals.
My stay at the Library Hotel was good, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that truly felt like a home away from home. While the smaller rooms can be a bit tricky to navigate, the cozy ambiance, especially the ample book offerings, made up for it. Breakfast options were pleasant, though I would have appreciated a bit more variety. Overall, the attentive staff and the hotel's charming location near Grand Central and Bryant Park made for an lovely experience.
I can honestly say that my stay at the Library Hotel was nothing short of really good. The location is perfect, just a block from Bryant Park and Grand Central Station, allowing easy access to everything I wanted to see in New York. The service was wonderful, with friendly staff always eager to help and create a welcoming atmosphere. My room was immaculate and comfortable, with good little touches throughout. The only minor issue was that I would have preferred a buffet-style breakfast option, but the offerings were still enjoyable.
