The Ludlow is our new lower east side home away from home
Pros:

We used to stay at The Marlton over and over when our kids went to NYU. Now they’ve moved east (our daughter is in Brooklyn and our son in lower east side) The Ludlow feels so very similar and familiar to the Marlton vibe in all the good ways. So- we’re super happy customers :) Will def be staying here again

Cons:

Tiny note- wish the Nespresso was outside the closet area. Tho of course- I know it’s all about making the most of space ;)

Amazing Stay in the Heart of NYC
Pros:

We had a great stay at the The Ludlow Hotel. The location is perfect for exploring NYC, with so many great restaurants, cafés, and neighborhoods nearby. The fitness room was a real highlight: very clean, spacious, equipped with modern machines, and offering amazing views over the city through large windows. The rooftop is also a great bonus, especially to enjoy the NYC views.
The lobby feels cozy and welcoming, making the hotel feel warm and stylish at the same time. I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay there again.

Cons:

Cool and nice enough!
Pros:

Location was really great - surrounded by shops and cafes. General visual aesthetic was lovely and cool.

Cons:

Unsure if it lives up to the “hype”. For such a top rated hotel I’d expect a bit more - room service food was cold, rooms were comfortable but beds were small, lifts were incredibly slow, staff and service were hit and miss - found staff had a bit of an edge.

Amazing location, great restaurant , beautiful lobby with sit down couches and friendly staff
Pros:

Location was great the wrap around windows were fun but very small living room. Looks much bigger in the pictures . Not sure if worth the extra money.

Cons:

Bit pricey

Fantastic
Pros:

This is a gorgeous boutique hotel that feels like high end designers decorated the place, including the rooms.,They have a friendly front desk staff and nice products in the room (like curated shampoo,,conditioner and lotion, etc). It’s a great location on the lower east side, near tons of chic boutiques and little restaurants etc. very close to the village as well.

Cons:

The restaurant, Dirty French, doesn’t match the hotel in either the taste and quality of the food or the service. The woman who made my latte two mornings in a row was very blunt and not friendly. She clearly didn’t want to go above and beyond for customer service and had a snotty attitude. That is at direct odds with with the very friendly front desk staff. I ended up going down the street for coffee for the rest of my stay (5 nights) just to avoid this woman because it’s nice to be greeted with a smile and a “sure!” In the morning.
