Rough Guide
"The Library’s concept, one of New York hostelry’s quirkier, has each floor devoted to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System."

Concierge
"Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity."

"You’re really paying for the 360-degree views, the full spa, the heated rooftop pool (one of very few in the city) and the scene."
Michelin Guide

Frommer's
"Despite its potentially excessive trendiness, the 14-floor, zinc-colored Gansevoort offers excellent, personable service." Full review
Fodor's
"Though the nearby Standard New York has stolen some of its thunder, there's plenty to draw guests to this chic Meatpacking District pioneer... a superb choice for urban poolside lounging." Full review

Time Out
"By day, you can soak up the sun, and the Hudson River panorama, on a lounger by the 45-foot heated open-air pool." Full review
BlackBook
"Glowing glass beacon in the Meatpacking District. Proof that New York can do Sunset Boulevard. Rooftop bar and pool attracts all varieties of social barnacles."

3.5
"An "unbeatable" rooftop pool and bar, where "party people" play and take in "beautiful" views, is the "crown jewel" of this "young, trendy" boutique hotel."
