Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a delightful stay at AKA Rittenhouse Square. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though lacking a deadbolt. The service started a bit pretentious but turned out to be engaging and welcoming. The location was perfect for exploring the city, surrounded by bars, restaurants, and cafes. The dining was recommended by local friends and offered the best pizza. Overall, a great experience with minor downsides.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were so clean and the bed was fantastic; I slept like a newborn baby. The location was perfect, close to Rittenhouse Square, area restaurants, and shops. However, there were some issues with cockroaches in the room.
I was thrilled from the moment I stepped into the hotel - the rooms had that wow factor with their modern, clean, and stylish design. The space in the room was exceptional, giving me a lot of room to move around. However, I was a bit surprised by the $35 parking charge, but the staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making my visit enjoyable. The hotel's central location in the heart of Philadelphia was ideal for exploring the city's attractions and nearby shops and restaurants. Despite being a little tricky to find, the location couldn't have been better, offering a safe and peaceful environment without the noise. As for the dining experience, I took the advice of some local friends and tried the hand-cut steaks - delicious! The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed during my stay.
Walking into the room was like a 'wow' moment. The apartment had a beautiful full kitchen, spacious living room, and a clean, nice shower. However, being charged $35 for parking was a downside. The service was very helpful with special requests and made me feel welcome and at home at AKA Rittenhouse.
I adored my stay at the hotel! The rooms were awesome with a full kitchen and glasses for cocktails; it even had a clever setup for our toiletries and towels. The service was top-notch, from helping us with luggage to being super friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, right in Rittenhouse Square. Dining was a treat, especially the grilled steaks. The facilities were impeccable, making my stay truly enjoyable.
What a gem! The hotel offers unparalleled living spaces with a full living room, kitchen, and bedroom, complemented by amazing views. While the rooms might be small, the experience is beyond compare. Just bring eye shades if you need complete darkness for a good night's sleep.
