Organization [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Lightstone REIT II”) is a Maryland corporation formed on April 28, 2008 The Lightstone REIT II is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and substantially all of its current and future business is and will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on April 30, 2008 99 The Lightstone REIT II and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the ‘‘Company’’ and the use of ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our,’’ ‘‘us’’ or similar pronouns refers to the Lightstone REIT II, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in which such pronoun is used. The Company is managed by Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of The Lightstone Group, Inc. under the terms and conditions of an advisory agreement. The Lightstone Group, Inc. previously served as the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”) during its initial public offering and follow-on offering, which terminated on August 15, 2012 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Subject to the oversight of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), the Advisor has primary responsibility for making investment decisions and managing the Company’s day-to-day operations. Through his ownership and control of The Lightstone Group, Inc., Mr. Lichtenstein is the indirect owner of the Advisor and the indirect owner and manager of Lightstone SLP II LLC, which has subordinated profits interests in the Operating Partnership. Mr. Lichtenstein also acts as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, he exerts influence over but does not control Lightstone REIT II or the Operating Partnership. The Company’s shares of common stock are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of its independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not intend to list its shares at this time. The Company does not anticipate that there would be any market for its shares of common stock until they are listed for trading. In the event the Company does not obtain listing prior to August 15, 2022, the tenth anniversary of the termination of its initial public offering, its charter requires that the Board of Directors must either (i) seek stockholder approval of an extension or amendment of this listing deadline; or (ii) seek stockholder approval to adopt a plan of liquidation of the corporation. Noncontrolling Interests The noncontrolling interests consist of (i) parties of the Company that hold units in the Operating Partnership, (ii) membership interests held by Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a REIT also sponsored by the Company’s Sponsor, in a joint venture, and (iii) the membership interests held by minority owners of certain of the Company’s hotels. Partners of Operating Partnership On May 20, 2008, the Advisor contributed $ 2 200 Lightstone SLP II LLC, which is wholly owned by the Company’s Sponsor, committed to purchase subordinated profits interests in the Operating Partnership (“Subordinated Profits Interests”) at a cost of $ 100,000 1.0 12.9 48.6 4.8 177.0 17.7

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of June 30, 2016, the Lightstone REIT II had a 99 The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period. For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Cash paid for interest $ 3,544 $ 1,480 Distributions declared $ 6,465 $ 6,010 Value of shares issued from distribution reinvestment program $ - $ 1,723 Debt assumed for acquisition $ - $ 32,841 Non controlling interest assumed for acquisition $ - $ 656 Unrealized gain/(loss) in available for sale securities $ 540 $ (102) Non-cash purchase of investment property $ 234 $ - Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that generally requires companies to measure investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The new guidance must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. T he Company has not yet determined whether the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts during the measurement period of a business combination. The amendment requires the acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The update applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services and is effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and companies have the choice to apply the update either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the update at the date of initial application (January 1, 2017) and not adjusting comparative information. In August 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This new guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of adopting this standard on a retrospective basis, approximately $ 1.4

The margin loan is collateralized by the marketable securities in the Company’s account. The amounts available to the Company under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in its account. The margin loan bears interest at Libor plus 0.85 1.32 When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all of the Company’s equity securities and were classified as Level 1 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes. On July 13, 2011, JF Capital Advisors, filed a lawsuit against The Lightstone Group, LLC, the Company, and Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York seeking payment for services alleged to have been rendered, and to be rendered prospectively, under theories of unjust enrichment and breach of contract. The plaintiff had a limited business arrangement with The Lightstone Group, LLC; that arrangement has been terminated. We filed a motion to dismiss the action and, on January 31, 2012, the Supreme Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety, but granted the plaintiff leave to replead two limited causes of action. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 18, 2012, bringing limited claims under theories of unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. On November 21, 2012, the court dismissed this second complaint in part, leaving only $ 164 Plaintiff has appealed to the Court of Appeals, which affirmed in part and denied in part, leaving a smaller number of claims available to the Plaintiff. Plaintiff has indicated that it intends to continue to pursue these claims in the trial court. While any proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, management currently believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome with respect to the aforementioned legal proceedings is remote. No provision for loss has been recorded in connection therewith. As of the date hereof, the Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of June 30, 2016, the Lightstone REIT II had a 99 The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that generally requires companies to measure investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The new guidance must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. T he Company has not yet determined whether the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts during the measurement period of a business combination. The amendment requires the acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The update applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services and is effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and companies have the choice to apply the update either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the update at the date of initial application (January 1, 2017) and not adjusting comparative information. In August 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This new guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of adopting this standard on a retrospective basis, approximately $ 1.4
