    We were visiting our children and The Ludlow is conveniently located between the two of them. I loved the look of the hotel and the lobby and staff are great. We ate dinner the first night at the hotel bar/lobby. Food, drinks and atmosphere was fantastic. We also had breakfast the next morning and it was very good. My only complaint is the room felt small compared to other hotels of the same caliber. I had upgraded to a suite as i like to have more space. The room decor is beautiful but I prefer a larger room and the hotel does not have a 1 bedroom version of this size. However, the location of hotel and the amenities are wonderful.

    Absolutely love this hotel. It's has such a great vibe and the rooms are lovely. The location is great... easy to get everywhere. Only complaint... sometimes it's a little hard to find some place to put things down... there's so much stuff in the room... otherwise don't change a thing.

    We used to stay at The Marlton over and over when our kids went to NYU. Now they’ve moved east (our daughter is in Brooklyn and our son in lower east side) The Ludlow feels so very similar and familiar to the Marlton vibe in all the good ways. So- we’re super happy customers :) Will def be staying here again Tiny note- wish the Nespresso was outside the closet area. Tho of course- I know it’s all about making the most of space ;)

    The room was very clean and comfortable, and every staff member we interacted with — front desk, lobby staff, bell service, and housekeeping — was genuinely friendly and helpful. The service really stood out and made the stay feel elevated and welcoming. One thing that could be improved is the bathroom counter/storage space, especially in a room with multiple guests. The lighting and mirrors were great, but there was very little room to set toiletries or personal items down near the sink area. Even a small additional table or shelf would make a big difference. Overall, we loved the hotel’s design, location, and atmosphere and would absolutely stay here again.

    The staff, building and location for the event we were attending were all fabulous. The only criticism I have was the elevator was so slow that going up to your room or back down to the lobby was a time suck.

    We had a great stay at the The Ludlow Hotel. The location is perfect for exploring NYC, with so many great restaurants, cafés, and neighborhoods nearby. The fitness room was a real highlight: very clean, spacious, equipped with modern machines, and offering amazing views over the city through large windows. The rooftop is also a great bonus, especially to enjoy the NYC views. The lobby feels cozy and welcoming, making the hotel feel warm and stylish at the same time. I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay there again. /

    Location was really great - surrounded by shops and cafes. General visual aesthetic was lovely and cool. Unsure if it lives up to the “hype”. For such a top rated hotel I’d expect a bit more - room service food was cold, rooms were comfortable but beds were small, lifts were incredibly slow, staff and service were hit and miss - found staff had a bit of an edge.

    This is a gorgeous boutique hotel that feels like high end designers decorated the place, including the rooms.,They have a friendly front desk staff and nice products in the room (like curated shampoo,,conditioner and lotion, etc). It’s a great location on the lower east side, near tons of chic boutiques and little restaurants etc. very close to the village as well. The restaurant, Dirty French, doesn’t match the hotel in either the taste and quality of the food or the service. The woman who made my latte two mornings in a row was very blunt and not friendly. She clearly didn’t want to go above and beyond for customer service and had a snotty attitude. That is at direct odds with with the very friendly front desk staff. I ended up going down the street for coffee for the rest of my stay (5 nights) just to avoid this woman because it’s nice to be greeted with a smile and a “sure!” In the morning.

    The location can't be beat...such a great area with great restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is cute. Has a retro 1920s feel. The windows open, but the room is nice and quiet once the windows are closed. Loved the huge, deep tub!! We have stayed here several times through the years. Friendly staff. Cozy lobby and lounge. Great restaurant in the hotel. Super cute bar next door called Revival. Lots of breakfast places in walking distance too. The AC needed to be able to go down one more notch for better cooling. It said 65°, but would've been perfect a couple degrees lower. The bed was comfortable! Pillows could've been firmer.

    Everything about this property was a pleasant surprise. The location is a 10 out of 10! My room was small, but the view and the bathroom were large; space in the right places. Perfect hotel for a busy person. At the end of the day, I enjoyed a well made drink by the lobby fireplace, and had some of the best fries in New York City. I highly recommend.

    The room was great - we loved the terrace and the bed was very comfortable. The room was also very clean. The elevators were very, very slow. Since there are only two and we were on the 7th floor, by the time the elevators got to us they were too packed to even get on. We ended up taking the stairs down, but the hallways had room service and laundry/garbage. This is probably unavoidable since it is an older building and we left close to check-out time for the rest of the guests.

The views are spectacular and it was very spacious compared to standard NYC hotel rooms. Incredible restaurants within 10-15 minutes. SOHO was easy to get to and the lobby bar was the place to be in the evening. My new nyc home when I’m in town!

    We loved our stay at this hotel, it’s wonderful! The rooms are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. We stayed in the double room suite that had two bedrooms (one king bed, one queen) separated by a hallway with a bathroom. The atmosphere at the hotel was fabulous, it’s a hotel where you’re just as happy staying in as venturing out. The service was also excellent. The hotel is also in a great location. It’s very close to Russ and Daughters and the Tenement Museum which were both on our list. Also walking distance to SoHo. All around, a fantastic stay and we can’t wait to stay there again in the future.

    I rely heavily on quest reviews when selecting a hotel.So i wanted to take the time to give an accurate personal review from a very picky traveler but on a budget of sorts. I want a trendy, hip, clean, friendly hotel. Everyone has a different opinion of what makes each of these qualities. Here’s what happened start to finish… We were greeted immediately upon walking through the door, helped with our luggage and given recommendations for a brunch spot. Alice checked us in and was extremely friendly. Andy and Miquel handled our luggage (storing and delivering). They were so nice! The hotel is small and cozy. I did a lot of research on rooms and accommodations. LUDLOW delivered -especially for a vintage hotel in NYC! We had three girls so we opted for the double room which was perfect! One KIng bedroom and a queen bedroom, and a shared darling bathroom. The king bed I slept in was extremely comfortable and the sheets and comforter were delightful! Very quiet.WE were asked if we could benefit from luggage racks and they brought us up 3 immediately.Each room had a small closet for hanging items. Our king room had built in shelves beside closet for storing a lot of items.The hallway with the bathroom had a nice hangar for 6 hooks for our coats, etc.Very nice. The elevators might have been a bit slow as other guests mentioned but really nothing to complain about- maybe a 2-3 minute wait.The hotel lobby was spectacular! Always busy/happening.Anna was amazing!perfect place!

    Housekeeping didn’t clean our room even after we requested it before leaving for the day. We also never received the waters we asked for at check-in, and the hallway had a foul smell one morning with old room-service food left out for hours. While we were offered a room change, we had already unpacked. For the price paid and for a special occasion, the stay fell far below expectations. I hope you will address these issues

    I chose this hotel for it's unique room ( a two bedroomed suite with shared bath ) as I was holidaying with a family member. The space was absolutely perfect for our needs. Decoratively delightful, great bar and restaurant, super helpful front desk and bell staff. We are a little old for the area but it did not detract from our stay. Roof terrace wonderful.

    Alice at the front desk and her team at the Ludlow are amazing. We are so pleased with the cleanliness the layout of our room and can’t believe the location. We would definitely stay here again. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone visiting. It’s got a bit of an edge which we loved And none of this corporate crap that you can see in the big cities. We loved lounging downstairs, getting coffee and just comfortable with the overall feel. We had 1000 hotels to book from and we could not recommend more than what we experienced. We will be back again!

    Stayed in the Ludlow Loft for a long girls weekend. Location was perfect — super accessible to cute restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. Awesome area for a late night bite, too. The loft was pretty specious with 2 sitting areas and ample space to spread out your luggage. Only thing was there are only 2 elevators that guests share with staff and they are slow moving. Overall, it was a great stay and I’d come back.

    Love how quiet the Ludlow is (we were on floor 11), despite it being in a busy area. I did find it odd that I had to request a luggage rack for the room, but they brought it up very quickly. The room and common areas were clean. My only nitpicks are that I didn't love the pillows (not enough neck support) and the toilet paper holder kept falling off the wall.

    We rented a king + queen room for our family of 4. The room had two separate rooms with a bathroom between and a sitting area. We received a welcome gift of wine and bonbon candy. Ludlow also has a rooftop with a great view. Very clean and friendly service! Location is excellent with many good restaurants and close enough to the subway.

    It was our first stay at the Ludlow and we truly enjoyed it. The staff, Omar, upon check in were very helpful and kind. Andy at the door had many great suggestions for bars to check out and Brandy at the bar was very informative about other options to check out as well. We truly enjoyed our room with it's sitting area and lovely furnishings. One negative was our extremely squeaky bed. Beautiful bed, but very noisy even for sleeping. All in all, we loved our stay and look forward to returning to this neighborhood again soon to check it out even further. We usually stay near Central Park and love that area, but this was a great stay in a different area of town. Thanks!

To me the Ludlow is a high value experience. It was not inexpensive but it delivered a great value as it exceeded its promises as to what the hotel offered. The gym was also very nice with 180 degree views of the city. I would definitely recommend it.

    Super cute and cozy room that was immaculate and made me feel right at home (but cleaner haha). Staff were always around and working hard…and it shows. Good location if you want to be on the LES where there aren’t a ton of hotel options. Could have done without the (guests?) smoking pot on the benches out in front of the hotel that wafted up even to the 12th floor, but I guess that’s ny for you these days and not really the hotel’s fault. Loved it here and would stay again. Appreciated the easy to control thermostat that actually seemed to work, I stay in a lot of hotels and this is not a given.

    Tiny rooms - there wasn’t even enough room to open a carry on suitcase on the floor and the wardrobe door couldn’t open without moving the chair out of position. Bed was comfortable but so small for two people. Bathroom so small the toilet roll holder was under the sink and the door had to be closed to use the toilet. The staff and housekeeping share two lifts with guests throughout the day to service 20 floors and it took on average 5 minutes just to get in the lift. Service was good but it all lacked the feeling of a luxury hotel.

    A beautiful hotel stay. We stayed on the 11th floor and had a great view across Manhattan. The room was small but beautifully decorated with heavy curtains, a four-poster dark wood bed, a rug, dark wood floors and white beams. The shower was perfect and had good pressure. The rest of the hotel was beautifully decorated too and we enjoyed hanging out in the big downstairs lounge by the fireplace and then eating brunch in Dirty French, the restaurant there. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the nightlife in the east village and on the lower east side. Highly recommend!

    A really wonderful boutique hotel on the LES. Since its winter they had a beautiful roaring fire in the lounge which was nice to see when arriving back after a long day. The room was on the smaller side but had every amenity needed. Loved the nespresso machine and the view was fantastic. Great access to the subway which was only a couple of blocks away, but walking allowed us to see all the fun neighborhood gems. We ordered room service and the food was delicious. There was nothing that was "wow" but overall a nice, friendly, clean, trendy, place. Would absolutely stay again!

Our room was super clean, offered a stunning view of the city, and the bed was incredibly comfy. While the space for clothes and toiletries was a bit tight, we got creative and made it work. If you’re looking for a place with a touch of old-world charm, I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

    The hotel is great. Luxurious, comfortable, great service, great location. Overall, good value. BUT, and its a big "but", my wife left her laptop in the room at checkout. We called within an hour, explained the situation, our room number, and where the laptop would be. We were promised a call back very soon thereafter. We called the hotel three times that day and never received a call back. When we called three hours after the initial call, I was told that they hadn't had a chance to check the room yet, but I could expect a call back soon. Again nothing. For such a nice hotel with great service while we were there, this is unacceptable.
