Date of stay: 04 to 06june 2008 in deluxe king (love room with erotica package) and 20 to 21june 2008 in petite room (photography room). We stayed in this hotel on our way to French Polynesia for our honemoon and on our way back. This is an amazing hotel. First, the rooms. They are on the small side but extemely... more

We stayed at the Library for 5 nights in May for my husband's 40th birthday. I had emailed in advance to ask for the Manufacturing room (a deluxe), which we got, along with a complimentary bottle of fizz, which was lovely! The rooms are small, yes, and with two reasonable size suitcases, it was a little difficult to maneouvre them... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on the way home from anniversary celebration in both Miami and Vegas. We previously stayed at the hotel in November and absolutely loved the place. It`s so friendly and cosy and everything you would hope for in a New York hotel. Rooms are small but space enought for two huge cases... more

The rooms were very clean, beautifully appointed, and amazingly quiet. The daily breakfast and afternoon teas were very nicely done, and the service was first rate. more

My wife and I un-expectantly went to New York for the last 4 nights of our vacation. We had to quickly find and book a hotel. We looked in TripAdvisor for a small high quality hotel.( not easy to do ) We tried both this hotel and the sister hotel The Casablanca. Even though this hotel was shown to be... more

I chose this stay as it had such great reviews and sounded very appealing. Unfortunately, although I agree with most of the reviews posted, we did not completely enjoy our stay. The room was great, the free facilities during the day and evening were lovely and the location is great. One of the appeals for us was the advertised roof... more

I am normally not phased either positively or negatively by hotels as I stay in so many, but I have to say that this one stands out as one of the best I have ever visited. The staff were professional, helpful and entertaining. The location was perfect. The room was stylish and modern (although not the largest ever). The communal... more

This hotel is a quaint "New York Boutique" style hotel. We booked this for our first trip to New York City for our 25th anniversary. I went on the recommendation of a co-worker and are we glad I did. The property was immaculate and amenities were bountiful. From a continental breakfast to the wine and cheese reception every night as... more

My partner and I stayed in New York over new year 07/08. We chose this hotel because of the reviews on TA and we were not disappointed! The hotel itself is lovely, really comfortable with great staff. Sure, the room wasn't huge... but perfectly adequate for what we needed. For a city hotel it's just what you need: in the... more

From the moment my sister and I arrived at the library hotel our experience was fantastic! After a long day a travel we were greeted at the door and by the time we got to our room they were calling with our dinner reservation to Kellari Taverna. The room was small but very clean, comfortable and quite. Well appointed. We... more
