Very average hotel. Remodeled bathroom but shower didn’t drain well. AC wasn’t working in our room so they moved us to a different room, a bigger room at that, with working AC but I don’t think we ever could control it. Hot and cold air blew when it wanted to. At least one elevator never worked. No sound barrier from the hallways or the outside world. But it’s a clean place to sleep and I did appreciate the new room accommodation!

The staff were absolutely fantastic! So lovely. The hotel is very tired and in need of un update and a good cleaning. There was no mini fridge in the room and none of the four ice machines worked. I had to ask for ice from the restaurant next door at the suggestion of the front desk staff. Only two of the three elevators were in service and for extended periods during the day, there was only one elevator. As I noted, the staff are fantastic. The location is great. Attention needs to be paid on the details.

The room was very small for 2 beds. There was a razor left in the shower which lead us to believe that shower was not cleaned. Staff was very nice. There was no working ice machine on 4th floor. No fridge 😕 and the elevator took forever so we ended up using the stairs.

I would like a refund for at least part of this stay. The room lock was broken when i arrived, and a doorman walked me up to the room and opened with a master key. i was then not able to enter to exit my room as i came and went until the door was fixed 24 hours later. The door was still not fixed after I arrived the next day and I had to wait 30 minutes for new keys. There was visible trash from a previous guest when I arrived and the room smelled of smoke even though i requested non smoking. THe staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful for the entirety of the stay.

The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable, washroom was nicely renovated. Had a couple of hot water, WIFI and elevator issues but the staff were great. It's a safe spot and it's in the middle of the musicals and close to 5th avenue for shopping. Good value for the price and a safe spot location and hotel-wise for women travelling alone or together.

Very clean room, the most pleasant staff I've met(and i travel alot). Anthony was particularly exceptional. His bright smile when i walked to the reception drove my tiredness away. He cracks alot of jokes and i laughed hard. There's the elderly lady with beautiful short hair, such a wonderful mama. Made me feel like i was talking to my mum. She's so beautiful too. Great experience I must say, I'm happy.

Always a wonderful stay at The Galivant Hotel. No frills, just a basic clean room in a historic building. Small rooms but have everything you need. Fresh towels daily, beds made daily, very clean rooms. I've stayed here many times and i will continue to return. Perfectly located in Times Square area. Only downside is the elevators..... take a very long time and extremely small. Just take the stairs!!
