    Figuring out switching between using overhead shower and hand-held shower wand was a bit complicated, but after some experimentation it made sense enough.

    Exceptional all around!

    One of the most beautiful hotels ever
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    • Stayed 2 nights

    There was only one thing that really annoyed me about the stay. I had come in after a long day of walking in the city and had my feet up on a footstool in the lounge. And a server came up and very snootily told me to take my feet off of it. When I pay $600 friggin bucks a night and am a paying customer having a beverage, I'd like to be able to get comfortable. I wasn't being disrespectful to the vibe or the furniture. It literally is a footstool.

    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.

    Our check in experience could have been better Not the most friendly welcome I've ever had. Not enough storage space in the room. Very little wardrobe or drawer space.

    The bar area was buzzy and fun. Most of the staff were friendly and upbeat.

    This is small but the bar felt like understaffed on Saturday night so it was difficult to get service.

    Best hotel in NYC outside of midtown/downtown

    The gym isn’t great. It’s not terrible but is small and can get very crowded at peak times. The giant weight machine in the middle needs to be thrown in the trash.

    Likely the nicest hotel outside of midtown or downtown area in NYC. The room was spectacular with fantastic city views. Bathroom and tub are huge. Bed is really comfy. The room service food and restaurant downstairs is great. I ate there multiple times and all the food hit. Service is exceptional. Shout out to my man Omar working there.

    The higher you are the closer you are to the air con on the roof which is very noisy. Ear plugs help though.

    Amazing bathroom and bed. Great views as I was on the 18th floor. Free nespresso coffee, lovely lobby area and great roof terrace.

    Another wonderful stay at The Ludlow. My favourite hotel in the city which is in a lively part of the lower east side but provides tranquility once inside. Beautiful decor, rooms and staff! Hotel is also a short walk from soho and easy subway links

    There’s a bit of street noise but that’s so typical of hotels in NY. Not anything we aren’t used to staying in the city.

    Balcony furniture could have done with a clean/tidy, but only a small thing, overall a lovely hotel. I found the F train subway slightly less regular than other lines.

    Lovely bar and lounge area, super friendly and helpful staff and comfy bedroom. Bit of outside noise but I was in quite a low room, so if city noise bothers you then I’d go for room on a high floor. Had a balcony which was brilliant! Great area with lots of food/drink/entertainment offer but outside of the midtown tourist area. Five minutes from the subway.
