Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC

We stayed at the Gansevoort Meatpacking last weekend . I would give the experience a 100 if I could . I loved Gabi at the front desk. She got us checked in and out She was so kind, efficient and welcoming . The ladies in the lobby coffee shop were great too . The bell men were outstanding . I can’t remember all their names . My husband is in a wheelchair and they went above and beyond to get him in Ubers and into the hotel. I think they all need a raise. We had an amazing experience .

Adorable boutique hotel. It has some glaring design flaws that are weirdly becoming common design choices - a decade from now history will look at these design choices and ask - what idiot thought that was a good idea ? For example…barn door sliders on the bathrooms that don’t latch and slide open leaving unavoidable gaps. Half a see through door on the shower, the entire set up means you had better be a very comfortable exhibitionist with your chosen roomies. No additional lounge chairs or table space of any kind save a very small office chair. It may sleep a family of four, but its clear they want young romantic couples, not the typical age and stage of traveling Americans. Spare your older children or your aging bodies the embarrassment of this set up. The lobby area is equally as unaccommodating, with one small couch offering seating space during check in (and most people check in and out at the same times meaning a large bottle neck in a small area). Its very cute, but someone with practical knowledge of travel and staying in hotels needs to re design the rooms and common areas.

Horrible Hospitality At the bar at the Gansevoort Meatpacking, the Food & Beverage Manager, John, saw me enter and still had me wait about 10 minutes, only to cancel my drink order and say the bar was “closed.” This was done rudely and without any apology. As a hotel guest, this level of service was unacceptable. John was not welcoming or professional. I would never stay here again and would not recommend this hotel to anyone expecting basic hospitality.

Quiet (unusual for Manhattan) and excellent and pretty location. Easy to walk to restaurants and shops in the West Village, Greenwich Village and Chelsea. Grand Deluxe room on high floor with great view. Very spacious and comfortable. Friendly staff especially the doormen. Air con a bit unreliable. We had to have maintenance up several times to try to get it going. Our Grand Deluxe room only had a Queen bed - I think a King bed should be standard in such a large room. No water provided in the room so you either have to buy it yourself or ask at reception and they will produce small cartons from under the counter. They told me they aren’t allowed to offer it but can give it to guests if requested. Only a small complaint but I would expect a five star hotel to provide water by the bed. Also no turn down service. Again that’s unusual in my experience for a five star hotel.

This is one of the best experiences we’ve ever had at a hotel. The rooms are remarkably roomy for a New York property. We had a view of the river which was fantastic. Everything was clean and tastefully decorated. The whole vibe was hip and cool but also warm and inviting. And the staff was exceptional. Erika, Ross, Brahim, Gabriel, Melvin and every single other staff member we encountered was extremely friendly, helpful and went above and beyond. Cannot wait to stay there again. Thank you Gansevoort!!
