Liked: Cleanliness
I appreciated that the staff was nice, the price was low and the location was great, but… the photos didn’t reflect the condition of the room. The walls were in rough shape and the light fixture was falling apart. The wall plug was loose and wouldn’t hold a phone charger. Additionally, we requested and were granted late checkout at noon which was nice, but… the housekeepers banged on our door at 8am and 10am, waking us up both times. They shouldn’t do this unless they know the occupants have checked out and the desk should inform housekeeping when late checkout is granted.

Unbeatable Location & Staff, But Property Condition is Poor. THE GOOD: -Location: You are in the middle of the action. -Staff/Price: Transparent pricing (fees disclosed, deposit returned fast) and helpful housekeeping. -Comfort: AC/Heat worked perfectly. THE BAD: The property desperately needs a facelift. -Maintenance: Doors don't fit frames (we had to slam them to shut), leaving gaps that let hallway light in. Window shades were ripped and didn't block light. There were unpainted sections on the walls. -Bathroom: Shower has no door, so water floods the floor. The vent was broken, trapping steam and smells. -Cleanliness: Found trash behind the bed and questionable stains on the desk. Trash bags in hallways, and wall's were dirty. -Noise: Thin walls + door gaps = we heard every neighbor walking and slamming doors. -Layout: Incredibly Small compared to photos and Bunk beds blocked the TV with no outlets nearby. The ladder is painful to step on! VERDICT: Not "terrible," but not up to standards. It’s a safe budget crash pad if you ignore cosmetic damage and non-working WI-FI. If you want what you see in the photos, look elsewhere. (See attached photos for room condition. First time in NYC, but we are frequent U.S. travelers.)
"Master" Room with desk refrigerator and coffee maker.
Light coming through the door at night.
The first shade being damaged, as well as the unpainted wall.
Windows have two shades, a block-out and a transparent one. As well as the unpainted wall.

The elevator barely would stop on my floor, so lots of stairs which is crazy to charge 150 $ for “resort” fees when NOTHING WORKS the first room I was in the plugs didn’t work so they moved me to a different room where every time I left I had to get a new key because it wouldn’t open , happened 10+ times Was in a good area if you want to be close to time square but for how much I paid I should’ve stayed somewhere better.

Neglected to say the least! Black Mold around the air Conditioning unit! Paint entirely of that section of wall. Holes throughout that area of wall. Cords/Wires hanging unsafely in the air. Absolutely disgusting! I have pictures that I’lll be sending to the Department of Health, I’m sure they’ll have alot more issues than just mine with Gallivant Hotel. Definitely would not recommend to anyone.
AC Unit in my room. My TV didn’t work in 1st room so they moved me and said they are fully booked so wouldn’t be able to keep moving around. Thank God it was only 2 nites. **Clearly, I DO NOT RECOMMEND The Gallivant Hotel, Times Square!!

For a one night stay it wasn’t bad. All that was needed was a place to sleep. The hotel itself is a little worn down but it’s nothing too fancy. There was a cold draft throughout the night which kept waking us up but other than that it had a bed and a ceiling.

Rooms were run down, had to change rooms because the first ones heater didn’t work. They don’t change your sheets at all during your stay, but will come in and clean. The ice machine also didn’t work. Some staff were nice and others were rude. Definitely will find a better hotel next time.
