I like that the hotel is near time squares and broadway. Subway stations are close so it is very convenient. Rooms are clean. However, regarding the facility conditions, the hot water was on and off, there is only 1 working elevator for the whole hotel (it was very slow).

I've stayed at the Gallivant before and was excited to return but I was so disappointed. No one gave us WiFi info when we checked in and when we called from the room to ask for it, the staff was so rude. The shower was ridiculous -- it had been yanked out of the wall and soaked everything in the bathroom. The drain needs to be cleaned because the shower overflowed within minutes. And the first night there was no hot water at all. I called to ask the front desk about and received a brisk "we're working on it". 2 hours later, it still had not been fixed. The elevators are ridiculously slow. Took 20 minutes one morning and we were on the 8th floor. We wound up taking the stairs a lot just to save time. And finally, the noise. I understand it's NYC but people stood in the halls and yelled past midnight. The location is convenient if you want Broadway shows or good dining on Hells Kitchen. That's the only positive. I've stayed in much better hotels that are just as convenient. Not sure what's changed but very disappointed in this trip.

Will not stay again

Paid for a king bed, since I was traveling with a friend and we wanted plenty of space to sleep. Was told that wasn't available when checking in. Have yet to receive any kind of refund, response, etc. The room we got was dirty and the bathroom door made so much noise that we couldn't use it during the night without waking up the other person.

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.

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.

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.
