Pros: position fantastic - next to Times Square and 44th Street is not too busy. The apartment (no 503 - a 1 bedroom) was very spacious and was exactly as shown on the hotel's website. The design was stylish and the beds were very comfortable. Service was very competent and friendly and requests were dealt with immediately. The kitchen was...

Came to NYC for a friend's wedding, booked a two bedroom penthouse suite for 4 people. Suite was amazing, more than enough space for all of us. After we made the booking we had a call from our friend who could also make it to the wedding, so we called the hotel to see what they could do. They were...

First time in NYC so I was previously apprehensive about booking accommodation. Fortunately stumbled across AKA Times Square as me and 4 others were keen to stay in either an apartment or a hotel....and this was the best looking solution. Location wise, it is literally 100 yards from the corner of toys r us in times square. The staff were...

The location of this little Gem is fantastic! We stayed in a 1 bedroom studio for a week on our honeymoon and loved it. Centeral to everything and extremely confortable, hotel AKA is everything you need on an extended stay in NYC. The kitchen is equipped with pots/pans/frying pans, mircowave, oven and stove top - everything you need to easily...

Have stayed here 3 times & find it perfect. Size of apts great, all the kitchen facilities like home, wi-fi, gorgeous huge comfy bed, quality linens. Handy location & not noisy. Lovely staff....just ask if you need anything. I would like to point out though that you are staying in an apartment & if you prefer to be waited on...

As soon as we entered our studio suite overlooking W. 44th St., with the top of some neon signs in Times Square in view, we knew we would really enjoy our stay. Our suite was spacious, with a full kitchen and laundry facility, gleaming hardwood floors and no pesky daily maid service. They clean and change linens once a week....

I stayed here for 7 nights in February. It's located right on Times Square, so you couldn't ask for a better location. This really is like home away from home. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite, and it was exactly like it looked in the pictures, fresh, modern, large and has everything you need. The staff are extreemly helpful...

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment for four days in January, for our 'second honeymoon'. The location is brilliant - on a quiet side road just between sixth and seventh avenues, and literally seconds from Times Square. Despite the central location, noise wasn't a problem at all. The rooms are exactly like they look on the AKA website. Our...

On August 15, 2010, I reserved 3 rooms at this hotel through Magellan Vacations for a four night stay over Thanksgiving. We picked the AKA because we wanted a hotel room with a full kitchen so our family could have a family style Thanksgiving. The hotel front desk clerk told Magellan and me that a handicapped accessible room would be...

We apologize for the mix up with your reservation and understand how disappointing this can be especially over the holidays. Please be assured that Magellan Vacations had been updated regarding the types and quantity of suites we have. We hope that you will give us another try in the future.... more

Stayed here for a week with my partner in late October. Easy to get to from JFK at very little cost - Airtrain to Jamaica and then train to Penn Station which is 5 mins walk away from the appartment. AKA is on a street that leads directly between the Hudson and Belasco Theatres and although so close to each...
