Each unrolled RNN unit has a hidden state. The current time steps hidden state is calculated using information of the previous time step’s hidden state and the current input. This process helps to retain information on what the model saw in the previous time step when processing the current time steps information.
Hidden dimension determines the feature vector size of the h_n (hidden state). At each timestep (t, horizontal propagation in the image) your rnn will take a h_n and input. Then if you have n_layers >1 it will create a intermediate output and give it to the upper layer(vertical).
Generally, 2 layers have shown to be enough to detect more complex features. More layers can be better but also harder to train. As a general rule of thumb — 1 hidden layer work with simple problems, like this, and two are enough to find reasonably complex features.
How many hidden layers should a neural network have?
two hidden layers
There is currently no theoretical reason to use neural networks with any more than two hidden layers. In fact, for many practical problems, there is no reason to use any more than one hidden layer.
What is hidden layer in deep learning?
Hidden layer(s) are the secret sauce of your network. They allow you to model complex data thanks to their nodes/neurons. They are “hidden” because the true values of their nodes are unknown in the training dataset. In fact, we only know the input and output. Each neural network has at least one hidden layer.
Simply put, having 512 hidden units in a layer (be it an RNN, LSTM or something else) means that the output of this layer, that is passed to the layer above it, is a 512 dimensional vector (or minibatch size by number of hidden units matrix, when using minibatches).
Answer Wiki.

Although, saying “2 layer LSTM with 512 hidden units” is kind…
What are recurrent neural networks (RNNs)?
This is where Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)came into the picture. RNNs have a very unique architecture that helps them to model memory units (hidden state) that enable them to persist data, thus being able to model short term dependencies.
What is the definition of a deep neural network?
A deep neural network is any neural net which has two or more hidden layers. But the notion that adding more layers increases the ‘deepness’ or the accuracy is utterly ridiculous. Adding layers after the second one will not significantly increase anything except your computation time.
