I will be very honest. This might have been the biggest disappointment in 50+ years of hotels. Sheets dirty. Soap dispenser not working. Day flies or whatever those insects are called flying out of the toilet when I opened the lid. Noise so loud that only the white noise from air condition helped. Then when I complained to the manager he offered me a smaller room. Sure, he changed the sheets and sent up a bottle of soap. But my God! And the elevator is almost certainly the worst in town. Expect a 5-10 minute wait. Just a terrible experience even for a 3-star property (oh, I paid over $300 per night).

Do not stay here. The elevators are very old and unreliable. We waited 10 minutes once and then decided to take the stairs down 12 floors. The Deluxe King room barely had enough room to walk around the bed. So we got moved to a larger room but by then it was too late to be able to be comfortable to stay there. Ended up moving the next day to a hotel that was so much better for the same price. The staff was very sympathetic.

The location of The Gallivant Hotel is convenient — just a short 3–5 minute walk to Times Square — but that’s really the only positive part of our stay. The staff were unfriendly and unorganized. The lady at the front desk confused us with other guests, printed the wrong bill, and asked us to pay extra. We had to explain multiple times that our reservation was different and even pointed out the names on the bill before she finally checked again. The room itself was very small, there was no mini fridge, and one of the elevators was out of service, which made the wait time extremely long. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you only care about being close to Times Square.

Location is brilliant! The reception staff were lovely to chat to. The room is satisfactory, a little rough around the edges. Bed was clean and comfortable. You can hear all of NYC out of your window. It was the cleanliness of the shower that bothered me. The cleaning product in the shower made the walls and floor slimy. It felt like you were standing on everybody prior body oils and soap scum. Overall, an adequate room for a reasonable price.

The lobby story needs ripping up as its pulls down the hotel dramatically. Our first room was a shocker as it felt like a double room cupboard. We though for cost we would get a much more palatial hotel and massively disappointed - this was our 7th visit to NY and granted we normally stay in the Hilton, Hyatt and Essex - we’ve sailed to NY 3 times by QE2 and QM and flown in by Concorde -this hotel sold itself as something it’s not - it’s a 2 star and needs major renovation….on a plus staff tried hard to sort the room and were all very pleasant 😔

Have you ever been catfished ? Well I have on this property. First it took me 30min to find the hotel & paid $100 for 1 overnight night parking. The Handle on the shower came off when I was showering, the AC never turned on, woke up to someone trying to come into the room to clean but did not knock or any kind of warning (twice)… I could have been naked. Save your money & go to another hotel. Peace & love & safe travels.
