    Best hotel in NYC outside of midtown/downtown

    The gym isn’t great. It’s not terrible but is small and can get very crowded at peak times. The giant weight machine in the middle needs to be thrown in the trash.

    Likely the nicest hotel outside of midtown or downtown area in NYC. The room was spectacular with fantastic city views. Bathroom and tub are huge. Bed is really comfy. The room service food and restaurant downstairs is great. I ate there multiple times and all the food hit. Service is exceptional. Shout out to my man Omar working there.

    The higher you are the closer you are to the air con on the roof which is very noisy. Ear plugs help though.

    Amazing bathroom and bed. Great views as I was on the 18th floor. Free nespresso coffee, lovely lobby area and great roof terrace.

    Another wonderful stay at The Ludlow. My favourite hotel in the city which is in a lively part of the lower east side but provides tranquility once inside. Beautiful decor, rooms and staff! Hotel is also a short walk from soho and easy subway links

    There’s a bit of street noise but that’s so typical of hotels in NY. Not anything we aren’t used to staying in the city.

    The property itself is so unique and beautiful.

    Balcony furniture could have done with a clean/tidy, but only a small thing, overall a lovely hotel. I found the F train subway slightly less regular than other lines.

    Lovely bar and lounge area, super friendly and helpful staff and comfy bedroom. Bit of outside noise but I was in quite a low room, so if city noise bothers you then I’d go for room on a high floor. Had a balcony which was brilliant! Great area with lots of food/drink/entertainment offer but outside of the midtown tourist area. Five minutes from the subway.

    There was a small leak where you would hang the toilet paper. Which resulted in the toilet paper to get wet. I removed the toilet paper and left it on the sink in a clean dry space.

    The location, the staff, and the design.

    Very pretty tiny nook in a quiet, stylish hotel. Perfect for relaxing

    Heating is horrendous, the air conditioning is louder that anything I have ever heard in my life. Unfortunately, as it has warmed the air only temporarily, like AC-s do, i had to use it almost all night. Room is indeed tiny, my stuff has been all over the place and it was just 1 person. No room for the suitcase, no wardrobe to put clothes in. In the mornings, the smell from the kitchen has infiltrated the room and the corridor. Bathroom did not look like the one on the picture, it was a slightly different room.

    I particularly chose this room for the view and the great neighborhood, and hotel met my expectation there.I really liked the ambiance of the hotel overall.Room was very quiet, great soundproofing. Nespresso machine was a plus. Toiletries are of good quality. TV/screensharing worked perfectly.

    Nothing to dislike

    Loved the urban style of the hotel, stylish, fashionable with an industrial edge. The room was perfect, with a comfortable bed and divine pillows. The bathroom was modern with a bath that could fit two and a perfect walk in shower. The staff were amazing and hats off to the housekeeping team who made the room up impeccably every day. I will definitely be back. Loved The Ludlow ❤️

    Too much staff in the restaurant Dirty French, but it's not managed by the hotel. Nobody seems to know who is in charge of what. And as a result you don't know who to talk to. But food is great and the hotel as well so no big thing, just minor thing to improve.

    In the hotel everything just perfect..! Love the rooms, the bathroom, the gym, the location.
