Comfortable, chic, deluxe vibe. Loved my room with a little balcony. Loved being on the Lower East Side. Walking distance to the Tenement Museum, wonderful restaurants, and lots of funky shops. The Dirty French served great breakfast (eggs, avocado, potatoes) and dinner-- great steak frites!

Hotel's Favorite
We were staying in New York for 9 nights, and having done the tourist thing in the past we wanted to stay somewhere different …. After lots of research we decided on the Lower East Side and this hotel seemed ideal … we were not disappointed. I was initially worried we would be a bit remote but you are very handy for several subway lines and can be in all areas of the city very easily - but you are far enough from the centre to get a much different (and in my opinion better experience of New York). Check in was quick and friendly, and having spotted a lovely open fire and bar on our way to our room we were sitting having a beautiful glass of wine 10 mins after checking in! I was also concerned before arriving about the room size, and yes it’s cosy but it is gorgeous…. Absolutely beautiful. So bright and clean and had everything we could want, including an incredible view of the Empire Stare building and Freedom Tower, I would stay here again in a second. We didn’t eat in Dirty French because there were just too many other options around, but all the food we saw looked lovely and the restaurant always had a great atmosphere. We did however enjoy relaxing in the bar, staff were so friendly and drinks were great. We would really suggest asking the staff where they recommend locally, as we got directly ( and overheard) some great suggestions, most of which we tried and loved. Much of the experience for us was the local area and I want to share some of our favourite places ….. just next door Ludlow Street Coffee for morning drinks and pastries, Russ and Daughters cafe (go early and out your name in the list!), Subject cocktail bar (don’t have too many) and enjoy classic movies (book in advance just in case), Heavenly Hot Bagels (just great breakfast!), Death & Company for cocktails (you can’t book, so we turned up just after opening), Restaurant Claud (a new place which I found before we travelled, you need to book in advance but it is just brilliant food/wine/service) and finally for a cosy excellent Italian meal, book a table across the street in Taverna di Bacco, you will love it! In summary, a perfect, clean and cosy hotel in a brilliant area of New York - do not hesitate…… book it!! Thank-you Ludlow and Lower East Side, we will be back!!!

The best way to relax in luxury in the Lower East Side. The skybox loft was a gorgeous room and the most beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The bed was the perfect amount of soft and hard, I slept like a baby. The bathroom was the real cream de la cream, you felt like you were bathing in Versailles! We visited for my bachelorette weekend and it was the best choice we could have made with superior room service, the Dirty French restaurant or lounge bar.

We had a great time at the Ludlow: amazing location, super friendly staff, and cozy, clean and comfortable rooms. Great luxury at an approachable price for NYC. A really cozy bustling lounge. Highly recommend and will definitely consider again for my next stay in NYC.

LOVED the Ludlow - the staff are excellent (I asked for a room change and they were incredible), and the location cannot be beat. Room was super clean and large for NYC, bathroom was gorgeous. It was also totally safe for a solo female traveller. The food options within walking distance are great (inc Double Chicken Please, Katz, Russ & Daughters just to name a few). There are also multiple subway line access within walking distance. I would stay at the Ludlow again any time I am back in NYC.

This is my go to spot in NYC, full stop. The vibe, the charm, the food, the rooms, the location, it has it all. PLUS, the staff. All are friendly and dedicated to making your stay a great one. Shout out to Jonathan at the front desk who was an incredible host. He did everything he could to help me, made it his mission to ensure I was taken care of. Felt like family. You won’t be disappointed!

Cool decor and good location. Didn’t think much of the restaurant menus, but we didn’t eat there either so can’t comment on food quality. However, the staff need some serious training for even just basic customer interaction, which I’ve seen others commenting about. Check-in felt chaotic and unwelcoming.Throughout the duration of our stay, we were pretty much unacknowledged. Check-out was equally as unfriendly, didn’t ask whether we enjoyed the stay, a thank-you or even good-bye.

The Ludlow has a great vibe, solid service, and nice details. The rooms are small but well furnished although the low ceiling and too much furniture in ours made it feel really claustrophobic. We loved the shower, the towels, and the sheets. We barely spoke to a staff member during our 2-night stay which was actually alright with us because they seemed to value our privacy and left us alone, but others might now appreciate it. Also the LES feels kind of frat-party these days but if you don't mind that, the location is convenient to Soho, the East Village, and a bunch of subway lines to get you where you need to go. The coffee place next door is great. This wasn't my best stay but I will certainly come back again because there's a lot to like at the Ludlow.

I came to NY to visit my daughter and picked the Ludlow based on its proximity to her apartment-- it turned out to be a great choice! This is a wonderful hotel-- the staff from the front desk to housekeeping are all friendly and helpful. My room was really spacious for a New York City hotel (room 1902) and had a great view. The bar/lounge area is a welcoming and comfortable place to hang out, especially if waiting for your twenty-something year old child to wake up! And the food was great. We had a delicious dinner at Dirty French. Honestly, I've traveled a bunch recently and this is the best experience I've had at a hotel in a while.

Everything about our stay at The Ludlow was 5*. The views from our room (Skyloft) were stunning. The room itself was exactly as we had hoped and the bed was extremely comfortable, with a memory foam pillow that we pre-requested. We had breakfast and dinner once in Dirty French, both were excellent. The service levels throughout the hotel were exceptional - in the bar, the housekeeping and in particular the front desk team who were so friendly, accessible and knowledgeable. We appreciated hugely Jonathan and Anthony who exceeded our expectations by far, taking time to make sure they gave us recommendations which were exactly what we were looking for. Thank you… we’ll hopefully be back soon!
