Reading over recent negative reviews, I have to think some fellow travelers weren't too conscious of the type of hotel they were booking. Gansevoort is located in the Meatpacking District, which is known for night life and a "see-and-be-seen" atmosphere. Were you coming here to sleep? If you're looking for a party and the chance to spot celebrities in their... more

I've stayed at the Gansevoort several times. The service is friendly and the hotel is very cool but the last two times I stayed there my room reeked of cigarette smoke mixed with something damp and stale. I had to open up the balcony doors before leaving for dinner both times to air out the room. Unless you get a... more

I'm actually writing this review from the Gansevoort, where I've just been let into my room after having to wait for a 1/2 hour while they "inspected" my room. Apparently at the Gansevoort, checking in at 530PM is considered early, and the amazingly mean and off-putting folks at the front desk let me stand there for 30 minutes until they... more

I have stayed at the Gansevoort numerous times since the beginning of 2009 and have consistently found the staff to be wonderful and the rooms extremely comfortable - all have great views and plenty of room. You cannot beat the value and location, which includes many of NYC's best restaurants and shops in walking distance. I can't wait to go... more

Myself and my two colleagues stayed at the Gansevoort for 6 nights on a business trip. The location of the hotel is fantastic - Beyonce was dining over the street in Pastis and there are enough restaurants, shops and nightclubs to keep you happy for a lifetime. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, with window seats looking out over the... more

I have been there several times and it was always perfect. The view from the high floor rooms on Pastis side is amazing. The only bad thing is that there is a new hotel that is being built between the Gansevoort and the river that is in front of the view. The room was clean and the housekeeping come quite... more

Stayed here a week or two ago. Was really impressed. The rooms are small, but not as small as those you'll find in Midtown. Comfy beds and good bathrooms. The staff was friendly and didn't have any of the attitude that you sometimes find with boutique hotels. The rooftop bar was nice and offered good views. If you go, walk... more

I've stayed in NYC quite a few times now, but the Gansevoort Hotel has to be the best to date. It truly defines service with a smile - all the staff were so kind and would bend over backwards for us. Rooms are large and delightful with a generous collection of amenities and fantastic views. Kevin Costner and the Black... more

This is one of the most amazing hotels I have ever had the pleasure (and good fortune) of experiencing. And, as an avid traveler, I have experienced some of the world's best. That being said, I cannot think of one single element to improve upon. Kudos to the Gansevoort and its wonderful, warm and engaging staff! I can't wit to... more
