My husband was working in New York while I was there for a break. We loved the location of the hotel, near Central Park, Apple store and Fifth Avenue. It was more self catering than a normal hotel - housekeeping come once a week (if staying for a week) which was adequate, but we would have liked a few cleaning... More

The pictures already posted is exactly what the rooms look like. Staying here for two weeks and I can say, the rooms are spacious with lots of drawer space and a big walk in closet. 1 block from central park so good for runners and there's a first class gym in the hotel with new equipment. Staff are very friendly.... More

Across 58th Street from the Plaza Hotel, between 5th and 6th Avenues, AKA Central Park could not offer a better location. Bus and subway connections are superb, but so much of what people come to New York City for--theatre, shopping, museums, restaurants--is within easy walking distance. Straightforward and business-like, the hotel feels more intimate than its 130 or so rooms... More

(This review is for a party I organized in the a.lounge at the AKA Central Park hotel.) I used the a.lounge at the AKA Central Park hotel for a birthday party reception for my wife. It was a huge success – a great space, wonderful service and a very reasonable price. Before the event, my wife had played a piano... More

My buddy had a one bedroom suite for 10 nights. I stayed on a roll away bed, in the living room, for 3 of those nights. $50 + tax/night to add a roll away bed. (They should throw in that roll away for free. This place is not cheap!) The location is amazing. So many great places within a 20... More

Our travel agent recommended AKA so we knew it would be good but we were blown away with the location. Our suite was very spacious and clean but did overlook ugly buildings and air conditioning equipment. Try to book a room with a decent view. The staff were the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. They were genuinely... More

Clean, contemporary, and spacious room in an outstanding location off 5th Ave near Central Park South. Staff was professional and friendly and fireplace lounge was a perfect place for a nightcap after an evening in the city. Bed was a bit disappointing, towels were thin, and do you really need a kitchenette in Manhattan (as a former local, I miss... More

The room gave us plenty of room to spread out, unpack and stow away our suitcase without it lying around. The bathroom was also comfortabe.We had a king... More

We stayed at AKA Central Park for 2 weeks at the beginning of October and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Initially we were in a room with no balcony, but after requesting a change they accommodated immediately and without hassle. Having the balcony was lovely! The staff are really friendly. The location is great (really central to getting anywhere in Manhattan).... More
