Very disappointed with the condition of the room. Bathroom was clean, but the floor was dirty and sticky in the bedroom area. Literally picking off what appeared to be a gum-like substance from the soles of my shoes. The room needed updating with paint and new bath tiles and fixtures. Have stayed at The Gallivant previously and did not remember the room I had in such bad condition. Will not consider staying there again.

The property was actually horrible and I’ve tried to get a refund. I had no towels in my room. The elevators took 20min each time, I continually had to wait for one and usually ended up having to walk down 11 flights of stairs! My room was not clean the whole 4 nights I was there. My bed was not made, no clean sheets or trash dumped. It was honestly a horrible experience and I will never return. I emailed my concerns and complaints and a week later I am yet to hear any respond from the hotel.
