What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 45 guest reviews
The Hudson Whaler earns consistently strong sentiment for its prime Warren Street location, comfortable and stylishly furnished rooms, and notably responsive staff — one reviewer highlighted how quickly the team acted during an HVAC failure. A handful of guests flagged minor but real niggles: limited front-desk hours, occasional maintenance lapses (broken remotes, faulty shower fittings, a tired elevator), and the absence of breakfast. Overall, it reads as a charming boutique stay that mostly delivers on its promise, with a few rough edges worth knowing about.
