    The room was fairly small. It is pricey but worth it for a special occasion.

    Great hotel in the LES perfect for a few days’ stay in the big Apple. We loved how comfy the bed was and the shower was incredible. Amazing views both from the room and from the rooftop.

    I stayed at this hotel for my birthday and it was an unforgettable experience! The interior is beautiful, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, and the panoramic view of the city is simply breathtaking. There are so many pleasant little details that make the stay feel special, and the service is truly top-quality. The staff kindly allowed me a late check-out and surprised me with a lovely gift — champagne and sweets — which made my day even more memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, elegance, and a unique New York experience.

    Everything was beyond expectation, it should definitely deserve a 10/10 on booking.com. I booked the room for my wife's birthday, and the front desk manager upgraded us to a suite on the 19th floor, with one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. And a complimentary Prosecco bottle. EVERYTHING was perfect, thoughtful, beautiful, classy. I don't know how I can thank you more. Definitely recommend it!

    There wasn't anyplace to put my toiletries bag, watch etc. I would minimize the merchandise to give clients more room. Also, a quilt would have been nice. The comforter was too hot.

    The Hotel is beautiful and everyone is extremely nice.

    The staff were exceptional at this hotel. It was my first time visiting New York and wanted to have a better view of the city, so after the first night they moved me to a higher floor which I was very appreciative of. The bed was super comfortable, facilities were really nice, and decor was generally very chic.

    Breakfast service at Dirty French was slow, the waiter even seemed irritated that we were there. We had to ask for butter, jam, salt, pepper and ketchup when our breakfast arrived and the drinks (matcha and chai) were not hot. The food tasted good, but was served lukewarm and service was lackluster. When we ordered room service, however, food was warm and delicious.

    Everything about our stay was perfection. The view from the Skybox Loft was incredible, the staff were warm and helpful, the lounge’s fireplace was a cozy refuge after long days spent wandering the city, and the location fit our needs perfectly. We 100% recommend the Ludlow!

    Skyloft room had a double bed and was poorly lit even when we asked for an extra lamp. We stayed one night in our son’s room with a king size bed in lower level - much better

    Friendly staff with very quick responses to extras for rooms. Close to subways and buses. Bar area well lit and great variety of small dishes and drinks. Would recommend normal rooms rather than spending more on the skyloft rooms - just go up to the roof top for free and great views of the area.

    Queen loft room with tub- was an incredible room, the staff were so hospitable, the rooms were clean, sound was so minimal. You can’t hear any rooms around you and hardly anything outside (apart from sirens which is expected). Location was perfect- explore the streets around here so many cute cafes, bars and boutiques. Wish there was a Ludlow in the other cities I’ve visited as I would stay with them again

    Absolutely loved the Ludlow hotel. We chose to stay here as we were coming to New York to get married. We treated ourself to a sky loft room and wow it was totally worth it! The view was amazing, particularly when the sun come through in the mornings. The location was great, easy to get a bus or the subway or walk.. the location felt much more authentic New York, I would compare to Shoreditch in London. The room was kept clean, room service amazing and every day it was spotless with new fresh towels. The bed was comfy too! There was also a nice bar to hang out in the lobby, which did food and snacks and you could always get a spot there to sit. Finally the reception staff were great, they took my wedding flower delivery in for me and put it in my room and when we asked for a steamer they were straight up with it. I honestly had the best time staying here and can’t wait to come back again.

    Brilliant location for exploring lower Manhattan and Brooklyn but also easy to get into Mid town, Central Park etc. Staff were very friendly and even though there were lots of people staying it felt so relaxed and we loved chilling out by the fire with drinks. The rooms were so comfortable and had everything you needed. Would love to go back.
