Gild Hall

This hotel is located in the heart of the fianncial district. A drawback is that it is a long and expensive cabride to get to midtown for any tourist activities. The hotel is quiet and fine for the business traveler. Ice machines are only locate don three of the 14 floors so be prepared for elevator rides.

Right around corner from my office. Stayed here for comfort after concert in Brooklyn

Pleasant. Room service needs to be better. Did not deliver breakfast on my last day. Also too much salt not enough sugar. They seemed to serve salt with everything even coffee. No coffee pot in the room either. The house wine was just ok.

Pretty good - although there was a bunch of furniture in the hallway leading to our room, and the public restrooms for the restaurant could have been more clean. Things you don't expect at a relatively upscale boutique hotel.

I don't know who decided on glass see-though bathroom doors but I feel it very undesirable, especially when we had visitors. There was no top sheet on the bedding. I like something between me & the comforter the guy last night slept under. Also, the room needs a comfortable sitting chair in the corner with a small ottoman or table of sorts. There's only 1 chair at the dresser and I was forced to eat on the bed. I expected the quality to match a Marriott or Hilton in which this hotel fell short.

Nice welcome when checking in. We were offered a bubbly glass of Prosecco to start the visit out right!

This was by far the most attractive hotel I've ever stayed in. In addition to being stylish, it was clean and EXTREMELY comfortable (I actually checked the mattress tag so I could look into buying an identical bed for myself at home). The shower was awesome, too. There is one "but," and for me it is a big but: there was no free wireless internet. To me, wireless is standard in hotels these days - like cable - and guests shouldn't be expected to shell out an extra $15 for what has become a compulsory amenity. Especially not at a hotel as high-end as this one. Fix that and it is pure, unadulterated perfection.

This was a very pleasant stay. I was impressed with the size of the room, particularly given the New York City location. The decor is also unique. My only complaint was that the pastries in the Continental breakfast on Sunday were stale. If I am paying $15 for a Continental breakfast, I expect fresh pastries.

Gild Hall is a lovely, small hotel with attentive, pleasant staff. Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bath facilities quite nice. But the other furniture was sparse and, frankly, cheap, without a comfortable chair in which to sit or much space in which to put our belongings. The location in the Financial District is a plus for travelers with business in that neighborhood -- which we were not. The neighborhood empties out during the weekends, and the hotel staff did not have much information to offer regarding places to dine that were close by or even regarding parking. You must do your own research. For example, we were lucky enough to find a parking lot immediately around the corner that was CONSIDERABLY less expensive than the lot with which the hotel contracts. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay at Gild Hall and would likely stay there again.

Finding the hotel was a bit difficult. The hotel staff is pleasant, however the room needed some work. The room was really dusty and the vents looked dirty. The lights were also flickering all night. Also, the rooms are not sound proof, so I could hear the neighbors all night.
