Library Hotel

The Library was a quaint hotel in a convenient location. Rooms were comfortable; the staff was super friendly and helpful and the breakfasts, snacks and wine reception were wonderful. A real homey feel.

Liked: Friendly staff; great breakfast; snacks and wine and cheese reception daily.

Somewhat disappointed

Liked: Location. The lounge/library room
Disliked: They really didn’t put much thought into the choice of room. I was put in a room with books that were all in an Asian language(s). I had eagerly imagined heaps of books to read, but not in my room.

Nice place to stay in...

Liked: Great central position. Good breakfast.
Disliked: Air conditioner was very loud. Scaffolding outside the hotel prevented any view from the window.

Generally very positive but nothing...

Liked: Friendly staff great location
Disliked: Breakfast was awful, overcooked and cold.

Perfectly located cozy boutique hotel

Liked: Location is perfect, and the reading room provides for an unbeatably comfortable/cozy lounge area. The building was undergoing maintenance on its exterior during my stay, so can't wait to return once all the scafolding is gone. All in all an excellent hotel for people looking for comfort and wellbeing that go beyond an impersonal cold luxurious building.
Disliked: I missed finding a luggage rack/suitcase holder in the closet, I ended up having to open my large check-in suitcase on a marble round side table.

I had a relaxing and...

Liked: I love the concept the “free” espresso all day with snacks and fruit in the library. A great atmosphere and location.
Disliked: There’s scaffolding all over it right now. It impacts the view but I’m sure can’t be helped and won’t last forever! The one light shadow was the unfriendly front desk lady. Everyone was kind and helpful and friendly but she was my first face and chilly and unfriendly. Maybe shy. Maybe not great for a front desk!

Cozy and comfortable stay in...

Liked: Location, amenities, quiet despite construction and midtown location. The library theme was adorable. Very clean with comfortable bed.
Disliked: Temperature control in the room didn’t seem to work properly. Room was a little cold. No fan ventilation in bathroom.

I would stay at this...
