Hotel Giraffe by Library Hotel Collection

The room with balcony was awesome & comfy! Pillows are feather and down. Staff were over & above in all areas. Gave helpful tips and a list of Resturants that turned out to be fabulous! Great location and much quieter than other hotels. Continental breakfast was always fresh & delicious.

Hotel Giraffe is a wonderful, comfortable, clean, boutique hotel. The rooms are well appointed with everything you may need and the staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the lobby every morning is great! Delicious coffee and pastries as well as bagels, toast, cereal, eggs, yogurt, fruit. They offer snacks throughout the day. Great location and within walking distance to many restaurants, parks, museums. Highly recommend. Also, the rooftop terrace is lovely to visit. There is a large bronze sculpture of a giraffe to greet you.

Very pleasant stay. I’ve stayed in dozens of hotels in NYC between the budget of $325-550 and this hotel stood out above many. The room size was large compared to other hotels (I had a queen room on the 10th floor). Nice view and small balcony. The decor is a bit 90s, but honestly all fixtures were in excellent shape. The bellman and front staff were also very friendly and helpful. Location is solid too. Just a few blocks from a subway stop and lots of restaurants and a Whole Foods nearby.

How do you find a hotel in Manhattan that has a great location but is still in a relatively 'quiet' area , has large enough rooms with space for a family and still room to 'swing a cat' and in Manhattan terms doesn't mean you need a 2nd mortgage? Well you go to Hotel Giraffe of course! I really can't fault the hotel at all, they don't pretend to be something they are not, they are not pretentious and always offer a friendly smile with excellent customer service both before and during your stay. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious, extremely clean and whilst not the most modern in some areas I don't think this matters. They are also quiet and traffic noise was not bad at all and certainly didn't disturb our sleep. Overall we had an excellent stay and would certainly recommend!

I have stayed at the Hotel Giraffe the last 3 times I've travelled to New York, and I just can't beat the location and overall experience. The location is central to so many things within walking distance, it's across the street from a beautiful park and so many restaurants and attractions. The rooms are very spacious, especially for Manhattan, and the hotel is quiet. I enjoy starting each day with a coffee and breakfast in the lobby. The staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive. I will continue to make this my home base whenever possible.

The front desk was nice. The beds were comfortable! The morning breakfast was great! The hotel gave us a list of restaurants to go. The balcony was nice especially it was nice to open the doors when it was in the 70’s

Because I travel so much, I put a lot of weight on the functional aspects of a hotel. Is it in a good location? Is the room well designed (storage, coffee, bathroom layout, bed comfort, lighting, heat/AC, smart TV, towels)? Is the staff friendly? How good are their recommendations? How is the included breakfast? This hotel was great in every aspect. Also, the rooms are large for New York. The lobby is a nice place to sit. There are so many good restaurants in the area that it’s hard to choose. The staff recommended 2 places for lunch and both were fabulous and reasonable.

We have stayed at this hotel several times in the past years, it is still a very good hotel, however this time it felt a bit different. The rooms are still nice, clean, the bed is comfortable and provides a good sleep. The prices, however, went up to the roof. The staff was not what we remembered from the past. In the last month we stayed there twice and the first time we checked-out nobody even asked how was our stay. The second time, there was one exception, one gentleman at the reception that was really nice and welcoming. Most of the days a lot of the staff seemed like they did not want to be there, the staff at the breakfast included. Breakfast is basically a modest self-service buffet breakfast, not really sure why they need a personnel there. The rest of the day the bar it is self-service anyway. Availability of fruit and tea at any time of day is a nice touch, though. All in all it was a good stay, but we are still not sure whether the value for money will still be there in the future.

This was my second stay at Hotel Giraffe. What truly stands out is the staff and the impeccable service. They were very responsive and extremely service oriented. The room was quiet and comfortable and the hotel is in a great location. Will definitely return!
