The hotel offers great views towards the financial district and is perfect for exploring old school New York with plenty of nearby restaurants. The rooms are cozy but a bit noisy, lacking cabinets or closets, yet perfect for enjoying the iconic view. The service is exceptional, with solicitous and professional staff. Dining options are limited, but the location is ideal for exploring the vibrant neighborhood. Overall, a good value stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were compact but had all I needed, with lovely bathrooms and great views. The outstanding service made my stay truly special, although using the guest elevators could get a bit busy. The location was perfect for exploring Lower East Side and within walking distance to SoHo and the Village. The dining options were high standard, offering a choice of yogurt parfait or pastries in the morning.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were nicely decorated, had a comfortable bed and a great shower, and we had a good amount of space for our week-long stay.

Staying at The Ludlow for 5 nights with our teenage daughter in a Ludlow Double room was a mix of great views but cramped space. The room, though small, had a very good size bathroom with a shower, a coffee machine for a complimentary cup of coffee, and a wider variety mini bar than expected. The balcony had lovely loungers with table and chairs to enjoy a nice glass of wine, overlooking the hustle and bustle below on the street.

Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed with a breathtaking view of downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff always ready to assist, though a slight miss on some details. The location is superb, surrounded by fabulous shops and eateries, making exploration a delight. Dining was enjoyable, especially the hand-cut steaks, but could use a bit more variety.
