unfortunately my experience in New York , the Gallivant hotel did not meet the expectations based on what was presented online. The room I was given was very outdated, and most of the furniture and features appeared worn. The beds were uncomfortable, and the overall condition of the room felt old and neglected. The photos shown on Hotels.com do not reflect the actual condition of the room I received, which led to disappointment upon arrival. The appearance advertised online was modern and well-maintained, unlike what I experienced. Very disappointed and because I booked hotels for my friends and family on this site . And I don’t want this to happen to them while I book for them.

The WORST Hotel stay of my life! Avoid this Hotel at all costs. Absolutely shameful place and people. What was meant to be the most magical Christmas in New York stay started out so poorly. After 12 hours of traveling we arrived at the Hotel to check in. Rude front desk people that just looked at their screen and handed over a key card and pointed to the Lift (elevator). 1st room. Floor 4. This room might as well have been in the street it was that cold. A 1980s style AC unit sticking through a window and some plastic around it that was with massive holes either sides of the panels. The heater didn’t work and there was a little portable heater on there that wouldn’t have heated up a phone box. The main noise of the busy streets and Fire Station a mere 20 feet away will stop you sleeping a wink. The room appeared to have survived a hurricane or there must have been a mass brawl in there. The walls were all battered and wallpaper ripped. The chairs were stained and furniture full of stains and bits of nasties. 2nd room. Floor 9. While this room had an upgraded heater and the noise had improved (you’re higher up) the recent upgraded heater had been installed and the evidence from the previous one were still there. This room also had all the same damage from the first. 3rd room. You can see where I am going here. Terrible all round and the managers comments to me in the 3rd room were… ‘would you like a refund because this hotel isn’t for you’!! I was dumbfounded by this.

The staff was incredibly kind, helpful and professional. Anything we asked they did, with impeccable customer service attitudes! The low rating is for the poor quality of the hotel and rooms. It’s incredibly rundown and is in desperate need of repairs and updates. The word I’d use to describe the “ambiance” of the hotel rooms is “old college dorm room”. Scruffy and damaged furniture, marks and dings all over the walls, pieces of wall-trim missing, etc. The street noise goes until about 2am, settles and then starts back up around 7:30am. So don’t plan on getting much rest as the insulation and noise prevention is none existent for this hotel. Location is central and convenient! Overall, I probably wouldn’t stay here again, but for 48 hours in the city, it provided what I needed.

Sadly, I will never stay here again. The sink was clogged. There was a hole in the wall letting in cold air in. The remote to the TV didn’t work. No laundry on site as stated on website! No ice available on any floor. No access to a microwave. I was charged $354 on my credit card and I can’t get ahold of someone who can help me.

Thread bare carpets, worn out furniture, in desperate need of redecorating, very tired. Took 3 goes to get a key card that worked. No heat in our room (sub zero outside - no double glazing) took over 24 hours and half a dozen complaints before getting a room with heating though the window (to a very busy road) would not fully close. No facilities in the hotel (only a coffee machine and cardboard beakers in the room). Always large rubbish bags and dirty Linnen in the corridors. We would not use this hotel again, nor recommend this hotel.

A/C / Heater was malfunctioning, and the fan kept running all night until i gave up and unplugged the unit. Walls in the room needed patching/painting. Window shade kept falling off, so we had to keep re-attaching it. I told staff about the issues and no one came to fix them. Overall, the hotel is in a great location. Pricing was standard. Rooms are not nearly as nice as pictured in photos.

This was absolutely the worst hotel experience I have ever had in my life. This property is absolutely NOTHING like the expedia listing. Google shows some of the flaws. My room was by the elevator, which means every hour or more while sleeping I would wake to the loud ding of the elevator. It was like there was no wall between it and me. The heat didnt work, and the AC in the wondow leaked. The shower sprayed all over the floor, no curtain. The place was filthy, dust, dirt, and literally blood and poop on the walls. My room lock didn't work. I immediately tried to change hotels. Between Expedia and the terrible hotel management, it was impossible to move. I paid over 1k per night on this joke of a hotel. Whatever you do, don't stay here.
