    The Ludlow was the perfect spot for a NYC getaway.

    The Ludlow is my new favourite place to stay! It’s super well located, the lobby is a great place to chill with a wine or coffee, and the atmosphere and staff were incredible.

    Our room was on the third floor and the street noise kept my wife up - I slept like a champ. Also, the elevators took some time, so we often took the stairs. The room itself did not have a dresser or bank of drawers - which was fine for our 4-day stay but could be annoying for longer stays

    Good spot. Room didn't feel like a "corporate" hotel room - more like a guest room at someone's house. The bathtub was nice and deep - fit two people! The seating area was spacious enough for two people to relax.

    The elevator can be very slow at times.

    During our most recent stay, the Ludlow delivered a bag of assorted candies from a nearby store as a "thank you" for returning. I love that you can walk to so many interesting places from the hotel's front door. Trains are close too.

    The price. I would have loved to have stayed their for our whole trip but it was too expensive. Room was beautiful but very small for the price. Luckily they have a really comfy hangout downstairs. The restaurant looks amazing but it’s very meat based so couldn’t really eat there as I’m a vegetarian. Would have loved more veggie options.

    The hotel was very beautiful! Staff were lovely. Cocktails are amazing! The seating area downstairs is super comfy and relaxing with really good cocktails being served.

    On Friday and Saturday, there is a small chance you will hear music or people yelling outside when you are trying to sleep. It's a busy, late-night neighborhood. Also the elevators can be slow.

    The surrounding neighborhood is packed with interesting stores and worthwhile restaurants - you can easily walk to explore East Village, Chinatown, Soho, and Washington Square Park. You'll have quick access to the trains that can take you uptown or down to Brooklyn. Places to check out: Super Taste, Scarr's Pizza, the Metrograph theater, Cervo's on Canal, Raku for Japanese, Clandestino bar, Le French Diner, Cafe Skye on Clinton

    For the price would of had appreciated bigger rooms. No complaints otherwise.

    The properly was lovely and so were the staff. Rooms were a little small to fold out the big suitcases but were very clean and the bed is very very comfortable! Area is pretty good for getting around in New York and never felt unsafe. Lots of restaurants around and close to subways. We had a lovely stay!

    The food services could have been a lot better, particularly the in room dining app. The room could use a bit more storage space or shelving. We had to move around all the mini bar glasses etc just to have space on the bedside table!

    Great decor and vibe. Helpful and friendly front desk staff. Centrally located in the LES.

    Rooms are small with little storage we were there for 5 days as a couple and only had one small wardrobe which fitted 6 hangers, no draws so we ended up storing cloths in the suitcase under the bed

    Good location with an exciting feel to the ground floor.

    The rooms are quite small and don’t have a lot of storage. Also, complimentary water isn’t restocked daily. So you either have to hope for the kindness of front desk staff (who were always kind tbf), buy from the minibar or go round the corner to a store.

    The staff at The Ludlow were incredibly friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, warm and accommodating. The decor is stunning. The location is great for NY eats, nightlife and transport across the city. You’re never really too far from anywhere. It’s a short walk across the bridge to Brooklyn. Hence why we probably didn’t make the most use out of the hotels facilities.

    Room is small, as any other hotel room in NYC. The neighborhood has too many weed smokers.

    The single bank of elevators were incredibly slow in the morning. Like there was a line to use the elevators at 10 in the morning. And the walls were a little thin. My neighbors liked to slam their doors. A lot.

    The staff were extraordinarily helpful, friendly and welcoming. Fantastic location, easy to travel thru the city via subway, taxi, etc. Beautifully curated rooms.
