Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ludlow Hotel is often praised for its trendy and fashionable urban style. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, divine pillows, and modern bathrooms, some featuring baths large enough for two. Many have enjoyed city views, and the convenience of Katz Deli being right opposite the hotel is a definite plus; some guests, however, have found the rooms on the smaller side. The lobby bar and covered terrace are frequently mentioned as delightful spaces to relax.

My room lacked proper soundproofing. Street noise was significant at night. the small toiletries provided were not enough for my multi-night stay. I EXPECTED more amenities given the price point.
