Great for the area

Very comfy bed, slept great. Great size room for the area, we had a lot more space than I was expected. If you’ve read reviews about elevator wait times, we waited just as long or longer for elevators at other hotels in the area. It’s just more noticeable here because there’s fewer of them. Welcome to New York lol. Would stay here again as it’s a great value for the neighborhood and was very comfortable for sleeping.

Pretty poor conditions

The place felt like it was falling apart. Small lifts that were not working half the time so had to use stairs. If they were working they were so slow it is easier to take the stairs. Loud area at night. No soap in the dispenser. Floor boards just floating and not even stuck down. Coffee machine didn't work. If it was cheap it would be expected but not for the price they are charging.

Really amazing overall. I just took a star off because the elevators were a nuisance. They were very delayed or never came down at all. If not for that, this would be 5 stars. Room was nice and neat and clean.

Good for what it needed to be. Close to Times Square/broadway and all the action. Spacious room for a king bed rental. Clean and tidy rooms, lovely housekeeping staff. Felt safe downtown. Minor things that really didn’t affect much but to note. Lights fixtures were broken in the room/not attached to the walls. Toiletries empty but fixed quickly on request. 1 of 3 elevators in service so be aware it will be a wait unless you want to take the stairs, which are quicker. Will hold luggage for a fee.

Well the elevator was really slow and hot. The front desk staff was not very kind and I had to kill 4 bugs in our room over 3 days. Will not stay here again. Location is great but not worth the money.

Most importantly this property is clean, but here are a few less than desirable attributes. Our room had only one bedside light; there was a hole in the wall where the other light presumably once was. There was no body soap in the dispenser in our room. We asked for some. Instead they gave us little bottles of shampoo and conditioner. I used the shampoo to wash my body. The shower only has a wall covering half the shower space, which meant we had to wipe the floor after showering . That all said…it was clean.

At this location, you’re paying for the location and nothing else. Outdated technology, outlets that don’t work, AC that is not cold enough, elevator that is not efficient, and the hot/cold water does not work properly. Location, 10/10!

When I checked in to my room, it was dirty. I shifted the bed a bit and uncovered a bunch of debris, old metro cards, hair, etc. I requested that they clean it, and nobody ever did. Then, the AC was broken and a sign read "adjust temperature on thermostat." There was no thermostat anywhere. When I called front desk to ask for assistance, I stated my issue and heard silence on the other line. So I started to repeat the issue. Then the hotel staff interrupted me and rudely said "I HEARD YOU!"... They moved me to another room, that had an AC unit, but it was as loud as an airplane taking off on a runway. Additionally, the smoke detector battery was low, and it kept beeping at a screeching volume. The elevator also took 1 hour to arrive. I cannot believe the amount of money this place charges to stay in such a dump. It's SO old, SO outdated, and SO poorly maintained. What a nightmare.

I understand that at this price range I need to limit expectations but two things made this a 3 star place. 1. We could not adjust the temp in our room. We were on the third floor and somehow it is the same system as the lobby. After the first night of roasting we asked staff to try and lower the temp in the room, and they called engineering, but it was not any better the second night. 2. The windows are single pane so I could hear the exact words of people conversing on the street below. Not even gonna talk about the cars with roaring stereos or sirens. Maybe if we had asked for a room not facing the street? But between the 2 things I slept not at all. Location is very good. Towels and linens soft and fluffy.

The Gallivant: Highly recommend

I recently stayed at The Gallivant and had a lovely experience overall, but what truly stood out was the incredible hospitality from Rob. We experienced a bit of a hiccup during check-in, but Rob handled it with such professionalism, kindness, and efficiency that any frustration melted away. He went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and taken care of—something that really set the tone for the rest of our stay. Thanks to Rob, what could have been a rocky start turned into a truly memorable visit. The hotel itself is beautiful, but it's the people like Rob who make it exceptional. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

This place is a dump. And yourself and book somewhere else. It took 4 complaints to get the lights fixed, the AC vent is filthy, the soap was empty, but worse is the elevator situation. One down, and 2 so slow. It needs attention and updated. Very disappointed in this property. I'm
