If you want a comfortable place that’s right in the think of it but still feels like an oasis, the Ludlow would always b
Pros:

The atmosphere and vibe were great. I loved that it was a place people came to hang, work, grab a drink in the lounge area but kept seats available for hotel guests. The room was very comfortable and spacious for an nyc hotel. The hotel had an amazing location and provided the experience we were looking for!

Cons:

I was a little surprised that I could hear other guests moving around in their room. The elevator wait times could be annoying at times

Pros:

Great location with easy walking to shops and fantastic restaurants. large room with extra seating area,

Cons:

elevators were limited and slow, often being used by staff with large goods they were moving which led to long delays everyday. Room was large with seating but very limited storage areas - no drawers at all. ok for a 1/2 day stay but challenging for longer

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:
