“This is New York City??”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

What happened New York? When did you get so nice? Or is it just the Hotel Gansevoort and their incredible staff? Our tremendous experience all started several months ago when fourteen of us decided to invade New York City to properly observe the official passing of what youth I had left for my 50th BIrthday. Megan in reservations was quick to please by kindly offering a very attractive room rate for the seven rooms we booked. She was very expedient with e-mail confirmations and a follow up call. Shortly before our trip, my partner of eleven years decided that it would be a fitting birthday gift if we tied the knot while in the city with our closest friends. Nothing fancy just exchanging of vows. I called the Gansevoort to inquire about venues in the hotel for a very informal ceremony. Once again, they amazed us. Jenny at the front desk was extremely nice and suggested we think about the roof top loft. She helped us by suggesting the right time of day to avoid the crowds at the adjacent Plunge Roof Top Bar and by coordinating with the hotel and Plunge staff.

When we arrived at The Gansevoort, Jenny was there to greet us. Not only did she upgrade my partner and me to a wonderful room, but all of our friends as well. The hotel staff was attentive throughout our four day stay. Joel and his staff at Plunge and the Roof Top Loft went above and beyond the call of duty to make our vow exchange very memorable.

If the incredible staff were not enough, The Gansevoort has some of the largest rooms in NYC. They are funky and fun, and full of little extras, like the house made CD that is playing in your room when you arrive. Also, the hotel location cannot be beat. The Meatpacking district is one crazy area. You can walk to many of the hottest restaurants (Spice Market, Abe & Arthur's, Buddakan, Crispo, Pastis) and the Chelsea Market is one black away.

Watch out Hotel Gansevoort, you might just give New York City a nice reputation!!

“Great Stay in an Awesome Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

Hotel Gansevoort is a modern hotel in the meatpacking district - a convenient walk, metro, or taxi to just about anywere in NYC. The staff are amazingly courteous, helpful and attentive. The room was beautiful, with an excellent bed and great bathroom. It seems that every time I left the room, when I returned, someone had been there to change towels, set the lighting, or clean up. My only complaint is the older CD player system on which only one speaker worked. Oh, and the bedside clock has a older plug-in for an iPod that doesn't work with an iPhone.

“Great area, small rooms, a bit noisy but if you want to have fun at night this is the place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

After one year me and my wife returned for our wedding anniversary to NY and stayed again in the meatpacking district.
We changed hotel and choose the Gansevoort. The hotel is in the heart of meatpacking, it is quite expensive and especially during Friday and Saturday it seems to be in a night club with a lot of noise and people dancing everywhere.
Being an hotel guest allows you to avoid the bouncers and enter the clubs that are in the hotel, that as I said before during the WE are packed.

Breakfast is good although a bit pricey. Rooms are not too big but they a have a nice view On top beside the club there is also a pool with a stunning view.
Bathroom is quite small but you have all the amenities you might need.

One suggestion try to avoid to take goods from the minibar as they are really overpriced

Room Tip: Ask for high floor rooms

Dear dottorsocrates,

Thank you for staying with us while celebrating your one year anniversary with your wife. We are ecstatic that you decided to give our hotel a try and hope the noise did not disturb you and your wife too much during your stay. The Meatpacking District in general is quite the nightlife hub - in turn creating a tad bit of noise on the weekends. If the noise was too much, we encourage you and your wife to test out our Park Avenue location. It has the same unique amenities, and gorgeous rooftop views, but the neighborhood is just a little laid back. Of course, if Meatpacking is your scene, then we hope to host you again in the future. If you would like to make a reservation you can feel free to contact our Community Manager at Digital@HotelGansevoot.com. We hope to see you soon.

Best,

@HotelGansevoort

“The only choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

I travel to NY every other week on business, and will only stay at the Gansevoort from now on. The rooms are comfortable, the location is impossible to top (abdndant nightlife, restaurants, etc), but the best thing about the Gansevoort is the staff. They are all so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I've had two seperate instances where they've moved mountains to help me track down lost property, and rearrange travel plans. To an individual, this is the most courteous and wonderful staff i've seen in a hotel anywhere.

“Comfortable & reasonably priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We stayed here from Boxing Day to New Years day, and found this hotel through booking.com it was coming in as the 2nd cheapest on that day. We found the location good & located fairly close to the tube with easy access to all tourist destinations. Also had some good shops in & around the hotel. I would definately stay here again if it was reasonably priced.

Dear Griffin3105,

Thank you for stumbling upon our hotel, and choosing to stay with us. It seems like you were really able to enjoy the convenience of our location, as well as the shopping that the Meatpacking District has to offer. Did you have a chance to walk the Highline? If not, this is definitely another excuse to come back to our enamoring neighborhood and take a stroll through its park located above ground. When you decide to visit us again, please feel free to contact our Community Manager at Digital@HotelGansevoort.com for help with reservations and accommodations. We look forward to your return.

Best,
