Rooftop bar was chill and relaxing with free cheese board.

There is a cute rooftop bar on the 14th floor that from 2pm on serves drinks and if you order 2 drinks, a free nice cheese plater.

There is a wonderful roof top seating area and a free cheese board when you order two drinks!

Aside from the room, we enjoyed the 24HR lounge (clean, cozy, and well-stocked) and the rooftop bar (Bookmarks), where the drinks are good (highly recommend Gone with the Gin) and hotel guests get a complimentary cheese plate.

On our first evening, we had a cheese board/drinks in the roof top bar (ask about the in-house guest cheese board special) and then we wandered down to Times Square. Wonderful!

Stayed in the Love Room with private balcony where we enjoyed our morning coffees and also wine from lounge with complimentary cheese board.

The bar told us it was a complimentary cheese board for hotel guests with a purchase of 2 drinks.

Complimentry wine and cheese from the rooftop bar was impossible.

They no longer offer wine and cheese in the library which we had enjoyed in the past.

The rooftop is absolutely gorgeous and you can enjoy a drink inside or outside (they gave us a certificate for a complimentary cheese plate with the purchase of one of the rooftop lounge's library themed drinks).

We loved the out of the ordinary amenities that were offered, including nightly wine and cheese.

Super comfortable beds and complimentary wine and cheese and continental breakfast.

The cheese and wine evenings are brilliant too, Great way to start your evening!

Breakfast was good, the cheese and wine perfect.

2nd floor serves breakfast, snacks & drinks throughout the day and wine & cheese in the evening.

but just right
The evening cheese and wine was perfect after a long day walking the city
The rooftop bar was a lovely escape
Would definately stay in this hotel again - just lovely
Thanks to all the staff that make it so special

In the evening wine and cheese are offered before setting out for the evening to see a play.

Wine and cheese in the evening kept us going until we went for late dinner.

The Cheese & Wine and Breakfast options are great and the availability of drinks and snacks throughout the day is a great plus too.

Complimentary continental breakfast, cheese and wine and great roof-top bar add to the pleasures of staying here.

but not too close - to Times Square, the legendary theatre district, Grand Central and the famous 5th and Park Avenues.

The Library's location is superb, an easy walk to Grand Central Terminal, Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and most major attractions in Midtown.

Its location is perfect for touring Manhattan, and you can get to Brooklyn via a 30-minute subway ride from the Bryant Park station, which is only a few blocks away.

The NY Public Library (obviously) and Bryant Park are a stone's throw away.

Hotel Central Park, in which we had a wondrous park view.

Take advantage of this chance to experience The Library Hotel, on Library Way no less, just off Madison Avenue,one block from the NYC Public Library, beautiful Bryant Park, and Grand Central Station.

Just down the street from the library and Bryant Park, close to subways.

Location is perfect, near Bryant Park and Grand Central Station.

An easy walk to Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, Empire State Bldg., Times Square and our favorite Whole Foods across from Bryant Park.

Lovely small boutique hotel just around the corner from Grand Central Station and Bryant Park
Location is in a quieter part of midtown away from Times Square bright lights
Hotel room was spotless and bed was the comfiest largest bed
Breakfast was simple

just what you need, when you need it :) Location is great for business around Madison and Park,

Being so close made it easy to enjoy the park early in the morning, it’s a magical time to see it.

The location, right next to Bryant Park and a short walk from most central landmarks, was perfect!

The location is excellent, just across the street from Bryant Park and is in walking distance from Grand Central Station, The New York Library and Times Square.

Quiet, peaceful accomodations in mid-town close to endless attractions and restaurants: Bryant Park, Morgan Library, Iconic Public Library, Grand Central, Times Square, Broadway Shows, Fifth Avenue shopping.

Close to times square, 5th ave, theaters, shopping, Bryant park etc.

The hotel is in a great location, very close to Grand Central, Bryant Park, Fifth Avenue and the subway all within easy walking distance.

Just round the corner from 2 different subway stations (Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal).

Ia block from the NY Public Library, Bryant Park, and Grand Central Station.

After going round in circles with much searching for the ideal room/location/cost combination we finally landed on booking a Junior Suite at the Library Hotel.

My friend booked us here for six nights and I loved the hotel.

This is a lovey property at great location, very cozy with many books to read.

There are so many reasons:
*relaxed vibe with super nice people who work there
* books everywhere!

The hotel is themed around books and libraries, also the hotel rooms (ours contained books on Asian religions).

The room we reserved was the "Love" room which has a balcony on Madison Ave.

Extra great stuff:
Decor is adorable - Loved the book theme
Checkout is at 1pm instead of 11am like most hotels
Location Location Location just a walk from Grand Ctl
Amazing rooftop bar cozy and trendy
Fabulous breakfast at Madison & Vine
Customer service was excellent - Picked up phone within seconds when I called for anything prior to our stay and during.

Got a kick out of the library books on the shelf.

Books, great service, and NYC … what an amazing combination!

We were on “social sciences” floor and “money” room (so all books and decor in the room was money related.

Nicely decorated with books for the theme of your room.

The design conceit is fun:  every room has a selection of books, a different theme of books to every room.

We booked the Library Hotel in NYC for a book club trip.

even though we had pre booked with a credit card they took another swipe.

The rooms are themed with books from a particular section of the Dewey decimal system and the lounge provides a perfect place for a snack, coffee, and respite before the day's work, between meetings, and at the end of the day.

Library themed throughout there are books that you can borrow everywhere you look - in your room, in the complimentary all-day breakfast/snack lounge (there's a baby grand piano there you can play too!

Details like cushions and Wi-Fi passwords have a book theme.

Getting the gift stack of books was a great extra - the selections were quirky and perfect!

There is a concierge floor open to all guests and a roof top bar and lounge,  I will definitely stay there, again.

Apart from the convenient location, we liked the reading room and rooftop bar most.

Their inhouse restaurant Madison and Vine and 14th floor rooftop bar were great.

Lovely, comfortable, book-themed rooms with a rooftop bar and a guest lounge with snacks made for a convenient and comfortable stay.

The rooftop bar, and restaurant are an added plus……..

Rooftop Bar and the 2nd Floor lounge were excellent.

but well appointed, and the lounge with complementary coffee/tea/snacks/fruit as well as the roof top bar provide much comfort.

The hotel has a groovy rooftop bar and a great private guest lounge.

From the friendly, helpful front desk staff, to the comfortable rooms, rooftop bar and the "lounge" where you could relax and get a snack - we loved it!

), in the rooftop bar that, as a guest, you can access any time of the day as a lounge/reading room.

There is a cute rooftop bar called bookmark.

Rooftop bar truly special place and library also quite welcoming.

Lovely hotel, great set up, excellent restaurant (Madison and Vine) and fun rooftop bar (Bookmarks)!

I loved the rooftop bar, the lounge, and the comfy room.

The rooms are small with little space for lots of luggage and the bathroom was small

The worst part of our stay was having to purchase bug spray because our 3rd floor tiny  room ( with windows closed ) was a haven for mosquitoes.

It was the perfect place to have a cup of tea and relax between outings, and made up for the small room.

The staff were very welcoming, the Queen room was small

The room was small and definetely needed renovations.

The hotel has free wine and cheese in the lobby around 5ish every day

The hotel also has a daily Wine and Cheese hour from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with crackers, cheeses, and very good wine.

Sure, the breakfast is included and so is the wine and cheese and desserts - more on that below -

Big thanks to Gilbert who took care of us and we met Dee later for their wine and cheese which was nice touch to decompress after.

They also had a nice lounge area, with a happy hour Wine and Cheese tasting at 5PM.

Great hotel in a perfect location
Free wine and cheese in the afternoon
Friendly and helpfull staff
The included breakfast was ok.

Morning coffee and evening wine and cheese are a plus -

The hotel also offers a complimentary snack and wine hour every day, so you can sit back and relax with a glass of wine and some cheese, chips, fresh veggies and dipping sauces after a long day in the city.

And their special extras: Wine & Cheese at 5pm, L’Occitane toiletries, help-yourself snacks and hot drinks counters.

Do not miss wine  and cheese for free at 5p.m, very good quality wines.

however, a lounge just above reception with free coffee, water, cookies and fruit - and free wine and cheese between 5 and 6 every day.

The daily cheese and wine hour in the second floor lounge was an added bonus.

Complimentary cheese and wine hour from 5pm was very welcoming.

Daily snacks (chips, granola bars, apples) and afternoon wine & cheese were included.

Always very good service, amenities such as: L'occitane products in the bathroom, espresso coffee maker in the room, coffee, fruit and snacks always available, daily happy hour with wines and cheeses.

Nice touch with a free wine and cheese at 4pm.

Free continental breakfast every morning, wine & cheese from 4-5 daily, & even a bottle of wine delivered to our room because it was my birthday.

we always had enough to do us , in the breakfast room between        4 +6pm there was wine, cheese, fruit and nuts etc, nice to put your feet up after a lot of walking !!

although a nice size for a NYC hotel, and very nicely appointed with L'Occitane products (rare again for most hotels in this category).

Also good sized with all the amenities you need, including an umbrella for rainy days and a large bathroom with L'Occitane products.

Dressing gowns, slippers, l'Occitane toiletries, tv in the bathroom.

but much better service, clean car and responsible driver); the room was very comfortable and nice with a surprisingly big bathroom with L'Occitane toiletries and a tv!

They use L'occitane bath products, and the room appointments were luxurious.

Great L'Occitane toiletries and super soft, thick, cushy towels.

but it was the last  day so I didn't bother calling the front desk.

After enjoyed my lunch at Verso went up to have a smoke and a coffee SOUKAINA helped me with her iPhone charger since mine wasn’t functioning she was super helpful such a good advisor with proactivity and professional engaging meanwhile my shisha yet to be served dint fell alone she could assist properly and serve me my phone after only 10 min of charging smartly made me enjoying the outdoor seating area that at that time was not busy we engage and I could enjoy shisha as well as the drink.

The deduction of a half star is because 3 days out of four we had to phone housekeeping as we didn’t have any shower towels, or only one, or the tea/coffee capsules hadn’t been replenished or the first morning the fridge wasn’t plugged in.

however offered an upgrade option for $40 extra; I had no choice since I had to settle in and get on a conference call ASAP.

Unfortunately we did not receive a call so it was lucky my daughter had set an alarm on her phone as a back up.

It would have cost a fortune to pay for those urgent calls if they had charged us for them.

I had forgotten my cell on the back seat and did not notice until the driver came back to give it to my as I was at the Air Canada desk checking in.

Turns out, we mistakenly left something in the room and I got a phone call from the hotel and they are Fed-exing it back.

If we needed anything in our room all we had to do was call anytime before 7.

They took my cell phone number so as to call me when our room would be available, and we left to have some lunch.

but had to call at 2AM to get couch made up.

but did not get the call we requested when the room was ready.

There was some minor noise from traffic - we used the supplied earplugs by the hotel and white noise on our phones and slept fine.

But Joseph was able to answer a lot of my questions about their hotel without sounding annoyed or rushing me off the phone.

Was not sure it would live up to the positive reviews on Tripadvisor based on my reservation experience (not very welcoming and rates quoted over the phone were higher than their online site and Expedia/TripAdvisor),

The phone reminder the day before check-in is a godsend.

Same if you want to keep your phone plugged in near the bed.

My girlfriend and I often found ourselves getting so frustrated with the speed that we'd turn off the wifi on our smart phones and just use cellular data (which was much faster).

The one improvement that could be made would be to have proper cutlery and crockery rather than plastic cutlery.

OK hotel, clean, don’t expect an American breakfast what you get is a continental with plastic cutlery, paper plates and cups.

This ain't no crappy plastic wrapped danish/instant coffee breakfast.

And I’ve no idea why it is served on plastic plates with plastic cutlery.

There are notes in the bathrooms about not washing towels unnecessarily yet they are sending so much plastic to landfill without a second thought.

I think it would be better if they didn't have breakfast rather than put all that plastic into the garbage every day.

Negatives would be flat pillows, plastic dishes / cups, repetitive breakfast and happy hour items, and the elevators.

The dark brown plastic plates and cutlery which one throws out after use were certainly not appealing.

Disposable (but high quality) plastic plates and cutlery,

happy hour, cubed cheddar and a white, carrots from bag, going white, celery with brown ends, 
everything plastic, room paper cups for coffee, all plastic in breakfast room and happy hour.

Wasn't a fan of the disposable plastic plates, bowls, cups and cutlery.

though were as follows:
- the breakfast, while adequate, was always crowded, tough to find a seat, and frankly everything being on disposable plastic plates was not up to standard.

This was all served on plastic plates - this did not bother us at all,

but the plastic plates & cutlery are the one negative.

The cheese and wine is over hyped,and could be improved by serving the wine in glasses instead of plastic ones for starters and how about some social interaction from members of staff .

but EVERYTHING served on cheap plastic disposable plates, with plastic cutlery and cups.

Generally busy and "self service" plastic plates, cutlery etc.

Breakfast is nice for some reason they do not give out proper cutlery and crockery and just have plastic which is a bit random.

however, it made a clicking or popping noise (it sounded like the plastic casing around the vent) in about one second increments every time it turned on.

They were probably upset about the hideous plastic bowls and cutlery whose overwhelming plastic smell made the fresh fruit inedible.

Keegan behind the front desk went above and beyond to help us secure a difficult dinner reservation.

Excellent place to stay for a theatre weekend in New York (we were right across the street from the Book of Mormom).

If you're looking for a place to stay in NYC, don't hesitate to book this property.

It would be prudent to inform guests about this or simply include it in the booking fee.

It’s special touches like this that make The Pearl Hotel stand out from others and I will absolutely book again when we return to the city.

Been to NY several times and this was by far the best place we have stayed, and we will 100% book here again.

They've solved multiple little problems for me, especially when I realized I forgot my vaccination card at home, the gentleman at the front desk suggested where to go to get a digital confirmation on my phone.

Planning to go again in NOV and booking this in advance.

Fransisco, the bellman, made sure to book us a car with car seats (not easy in NYC).

This hotel is basically two blocks away from Times Square (Book of Mormons theater across the street and Chicago right beside the hotel); and is so close to everything and everywhere.

My friend and I have stayed here twice in the past year and we are booked again for April.

However, I took a chance and booked here for a night with my daughter just before Christmas.

If we ever return to NYC we will surely book again a room at the Pearl.

After reading the reviews for The Pearl Hotel I felt very comfortable booking a reservation.

I booked the Pearl based on the great reviews and it didn't disappoint.

I’d booked the Deluxe Queen Suite for the first night and the Deluxe King Suite for the rest of the stay.

but was very pleased, was given a larger room as what was booked was not ready, lovely staff and room.

With WiFi, breakfast and snack bar included in the resort fee, this was great value for money.

They have an area on the second floor for free snacks, coffee and fruit.

The 24 hour cafe with coffee/tea and snacks was well used!

We especially loved their wine reception each day and the ability to GRAB SNACKS for 24 hours a day in a room we all have access too.

There’s even a snack room with 24 hour access to coffee, tea, cookies, and chips.

In addition, it has a 24/7 snack bar which was heaven sent upon our arrival at 1:30 in the morning; the bar has bananas, apples, cookies of all kinds, chips, coffee, variety of teas, and hot chocolate.

The 24-hour snacks were great too, and we helped ourselves to a hot chocolate or tea plus snacks after a long day of sightseeing.

Breakfast was included and the rate also included drinks and snacks that were available all the time in a room off of the lobby.

The service was terrific and the amenities provided for guests were above and beyond other hotels - happy hour every day, fresh fruit and snacks available all day for guests and the breakfast at Friedman’s was great.

And they always put out a carafe of hot apple cider or hot chocolate,

Snacks available during the day such as fruit, coffee and cookies.

Light continental breakfast and 24/7 snacks as well as 2nd floor gathering space was excellent fit for our blended family.

Staff can't do enough to help, continental breakfast and complimentary happy hour are such a bonus, snacks on offer too, even late at night they leave out crisps and fruit to help yourself.

The breakfast and all day snacks in the lounge is a really nice touch.

Water, fruit, and snacks available in lobby for no charge.

Staff very friendly and our kids loved the snacks and fruit that were always available in reception along with the iced water.

Let's look at the Pros first: 
Great Location - close to Times Square, 1 minute from Subway stop, 
Great Staff - pleasant, helpful, always available, asked for more towels, asked for help with TV, offered upgrade as room became available  
Snacks in the lobby available on check in/check out - chips, fruit, lemon water
Wine Reception at 5 - didn't partake,

The daily free happy hour at the 2nd floor lobby with wine and snacks is also fun before starting your evening activities.

The hotel offers a wine/cheese hour and coffee and breakfast snacks in the morning.

My other complaint is the reliance on single use plastic - all the plates, cutlery, cups etc for breakfast were plastic and all went into bins and not sorted for recycling.

My only complaint, and it's kind of a big one, they use plastic dishes and cutlery, and they don't recycle.

No cutlery or bottle opener in kitchenette.

Small veggie tray and cheese - the celery and carrots were old and I'm surprised they were put out.

One tiny little niggle, I was a little disappointed at, the fact that they use throw away plates, cutlery etc at breakfast!

but very limited and served with disposable plates.

The breakfast was a self service continental which included stale pastries and was eaten off grotty brown plastic plates with matching brown plastic cutlery,hence we only ate there once.

The staff of the hotel were super friendly and always very helpful.

The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was great (we had an upgraded suite) and the bed very comfortable.

We were greeted, by friendly, efficient check in staff and we were given our room keys.

Friendly staff, very knowledgeable and helpful.

The hotel is very nice, and the entire staff is helpful and friendly.

The staff were friendly, an anomaly in the city, and always accommodating.

Great staff, very friendly, always ready to help.
