First in bathroom lightning wasn't bright, Showering control the Knob was broken. I have seen a shower with no door to close so the water can't go out. It was leaking all over the floor.This was room 429. Their's was no parking spaces for me then I arrived. All this was in a package deal. I sent a lot of money for this. A very bad experience.

Great Times Square locale. Needs lipstick refresh.

If you want a GREAT NYC location and don't need the bells and whistles, this is the hotel for you. The rate was decent and the location was fantastic. But I found the entire hotel in dire need of some TLC (not the girl group). Walls throughout were scuffed up, paint jobs were half ass, the cramped elevators were slow and the wifi was barely existent. Even in a small room with a king size bed, NO outlets near the bed. The bathroom was poorly lit and the knob on the shower came off in my hand. If someone invests some $$ and craftsmanship in this place, I'm sure it will become amazing. For now, stay here for the location and go outside for the internet.

Ridiculous! Won’t stay again

Seriously a lobby FULL of people and you make everyone wait until exactly 3pm on the dot to check in. It’s horrible customer service. If you have the rooms ready… why are you making people wait?! I waited from 130-3 for no reason! You would rather have people lined up then serve the people who got their early bad get them out of the lobby and keep the elevators clear ?! I don’t get it.

Hotel agradable y estratégico

El hotel se encuentra a tan solo unos pasos de Time Square, nos dieron habitación en el piso 5, muy tranquila con el espacio justo para dos personas, todos los dias mos brindarom el servicio de limpieza cuyo personal super amables y atentas a lo que ocuparamos. Con el tema del asensor, si estaba ocupado, utilizamos las gradas. En general el hotel cumplió las expectativas y si volveriamos a reservar.

AVOID, dishonest people

My stay at The Gallivant Times Square was appalling. The front desk staff’s unprofessional and dismissive attitude set a negative tone from the outset. I was denied a receipt for my deposit, which remains unreturned, raising serious concerns about the hotel’s integrity. The key cards issued were defective, and when I sought help, the night concierge responded with a patronizing remark rather than any meaningful assistance. The room was in an unacceptable state, with visible hairs in the bathroom and a broken hairdryer. These failures in both service and cleanliness made my experience not just disappointing, but deeply frustrating and distressing. I strongly advise avoiding this hotel, as it failed to meet even the most basic standards of hospitality. During my stay, I felt that the night concierge treated me in a way that suggested bias and discrimination based on my race. The staff’s behavior and comments were not only unprofessional but also made me feel singled out and unwelcome. This kind of conduct is unacceptable in any hospitality setting and left me deeply uncomfortable and distressed during my visit. I urge the hotel to address issues of racial bias among its staff to ensure all guests are treated with respect and dignity

The customer service was excellent however the room needed updating. Looked like there was a leak in bathroom and caulk was added but wasn’t installed properly and neatly. We also killed 3 roaches while we were there so we made sure to throw away any food wrappers right away in the lobby trash can. The cleaning lady was very nice and did a great job of keeping the room clean I think the roaches came from a crack in the wall behind a dresser. It was our first time there and it was in Times Square a perfect location. However next time I will most likely stay somewhere else.

The price was right

The Gallivant was a perfectly serviceable hotel. The location was convenient, and the price was right. I went with my sister and we had twin beds (never saw that in a hotel before). The mattress was comfortable and the room was quiet, so we slept well. The bathroom was tiny with not enough hooks/towel rods. The shower had decent water pressure but it was a European style stall with a half wall and no door, so the floor got wet easily. The only real complaint was that there were no plugs on the wall where the heads of the beds were. We had to recharge our phones from across the room. Inconvenient, but not devastating. If I had traveled with my husband instead, though, he uses a CPAP and absolutely must have a plug available nearer the bed. Perhaps the rooms with king beds are different.

The description of the property is misleading. There is no lounge bar and no breakfast available on site. The rooms lack modern appliances and device plugs, especially close to the bed. The bathroom was good for NYC. It is not a bad hotel, however it is expensive for what you get
