The Ludlow Hotel

One of my favorite hotel stays of all time — it's so clean, luxe, interesting, and comfortable. It was just me and my 11-year-old daughter who stayed and we felt like queens. The big bathtub in our room looked over the city, which was just EVERYTHING.

The rooms are lovely and just as they appear in the photos. The shower is excellent and has really decent water pressure. Staff are very attentive and helpful, although service can be slow this fits with the very relaxed and welcoming vibe of The Lounge - there is no pressure to spend money on drinks if you are a hotel guest just looking for somewhere to sit and hang out. The only recommendation I would make is that the rooms lack a space or platform for your suitcase, which then becomes quite inconvenient as you have to constantly move and shuffle it around to get thing out, or to walk around it in the room.

I wish the room were a little bigger but I know that can't be helped. LOVED the gigantic bathtub, and I'll give up a big room for that! Also wish the subway were more accessible (although the staff was very helpful). Its a long way to get to Upper West, Upper East, musuems, most shopping, etc.

I particularly chose this room for the view and the great neighborhood, and hotel met my expectation there.I really liked the ambiance of the hotel overall.Room was very quiet, great soundproofing. Nespresso machine was a plus. Toiletries are of good quality. TV/screensharing worked perfectly.

The hotel's moody ambiance and eclectic design provide a unique New York experience. The Dirty French restaurant has great food, especially the buttermilk pancakes! The rooms are well-appointed, comfortable, and clean. Just off Houston at Ludlow Street, you are within walking distance to Little Italy, Chinatown, The Village, Soho, and more. Katz's Deli is on the corner, which adds to the drama of watching the line span for blocks at all hours of the day.
