The staff, cleanliness, room amenities, terrace, lobby, and location were all top notch.
Courtney from United States (9/10)
The dirty French is always good food and the front desk is always friendly and accommodating.
David from United States (9/10)
Not a luxurious hotel, but this is a busy boutique with lots of nice feature. The “sky box”, all windows room we had on the 16th floor was a great NYC experience. Nice public spaces, too. Good, fun restaurant and bar. And just 30 paces to Katz’s Delicatessen!
Jenny from United Kingdom (9/10)
I’ve written too many reviews of The Ludlow before, I’ll keep this one snappy: it’s my favorite hotel in New York.

Gorgeous design. Very friendly staff. Lovely facilities. Gym on the roof has a brilliant view. Katz’s deli on the corner. Great restaurants in the street. Amazing neighbourhood. Nook with a toasty fireplace in the bar is reserved for in-house guests only which makes you feel at home.
