The room was very disappointing with an attrocuous outlook from the window. The state of furniture was very worn and lacking maintencance. Location was very close to theatre and tourist buses and ammenities.

Excellent location to Times Square.

Great location to Times Square. Rooms need a bit of TLC, painting, cracked light switch, marks on wall. Overall good value for money and you spend minimal time in your room anyway.

Best Position

Great spot to stay. So close to Broadway and Time Square and 100 metres to walk to the underground, for easy access to the all of the New York sites.

Great location - so close to Times Square

Pros: Location was great
Cons: Friendliness of front desk staff - not very warm or welcoming Air con noise Plumbing
Location: Best part, such a great location - close to Times Square, subways and lots of places to eat, drink etc.
Enjoyed our stay at the Gallivant. Only negatives I would say is the noise of the air con in the rooms - way too loud, especially in the bathroom, the plumbing needs fixing as the water in the shower didn't drain straight away. 2 single bed room is quite small for 2 people and something we noticed is your front desk staff aren't very friendly. The housekeeping staff are far more friendly, I would have thought the front desk staff would be far more welcoming, at least with a smile.

Pros: The beds were very comfortable. That's the only good thing about this hotel.
Cons: Extremely noisy, no refrigerator, a tiny tiny room, staff couldn't care less. Didn't even look up from what they were doing when you speaking to them.
Location: Road construction outside hotel, jack hammering until after 3 in the morning. Fire station and police station close by so sirens went all night.
Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Staff were uncaring re your needs. Super super noisy.

Great location

Pros: Location.
Cons: Cooling or heating should be available to control and not simply switched off. Exhaust fan in bathroom.
Location: Times Square, Broadway, MOMA, Cemteal Park
Staff friendly and helpful, however our room had the air conditioner turned off and required maintenance to switch it on manually the next day. Needless to say we spent a very warm first night. Bathroom small but lovely linen; bed only a double but very comfortable. Room small, but we were only there for sleeping. If you like a bar and somewhere to sit in reception then this is the place for you. Breakfast is available and if required should be booked in advance (day before or when checking in OK) to enjoy a discount.

Better Choices

Pros: Location
Cons: Light, access to tea (not just coffee), real cups, not paper.
Location: In Times Square - close to everything - get your walking shoes on...
Very disappointing - room was small and dark, bathroom tiny, extremely noisy. The only good point was the location - very close to all major attractions.

Convenient, modern

Spent most of our time in the Times Square and Broadway areas. This hotel is in such an excellent position and easy to walk everywhere. Only issue was bad water pressure. Most of the time the shower just dribbles beside you.
