AKA Tribeca re-imagines what it’s like to live the New York dream. You know the one: A spacious mid-century townhouse tucked into an impossibly cool downtown street, with a living room that draws a horde of creative friends. The public spaces at the AKA Tribeca are intimate and inviting, redesigned in 2014 by SoHo firm Gachot Studios. Fireplaces, white oak floors and a library stocked with art books invite lingering, while the bar and restaurant are both destinations of their own. James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini’s restaurant is hyper-local, with a seasonal menu forged from longstanding relationships with farmers and producers. Cocktails at Evening Bar are equally artisanal, concocted by the mixologist behind the city’s great speakeasies.

I’ve stayed here a few times over the years, it’s a great location for Tribeca and where I need be downtown when I’m in New York. The rooms are honestly a good size for New York and the bathrooms are great. The beds are always big, comfy and the AC actually works. There’s been a few changes here recently, new management seems to have taken over so maybe they’ll update some things but I hope they don’t change too much. The employees are usually friendly and helpful. My only issue here is the prices in the restaurant and bar. Over the top and unnecessary. Other than that I love The Smyth

We don’t like the sliding bathroom door. We didn’t like the low bed. (we spoke with staff about the above two issues and they could only offer us a room that had a higher bed, not bathroom door change. They were kind and caring!) Every time we’ve stayed, I’ve had to ask for one extra bath towel because I use two and my husband uses one. We hang them up expecting to reuse, but housekeeping takes them all away and replaces with only two bath towels. It was a bit noisy — outside noise at 3:30am (but we know it’s NYC on a Friday night) and the person above us sounded like they were pacing in high heels and pulling out a chair at 11:30PM. We had a very low pile rug and I don’t think it would’ve made that noise to our downstairs neighbors so maybe it’s whatever flooring is on 7th floor room There was absolutely no decor on our walls or in our room - 612. Otherwise, the staff is great, the room was clean, and it’s in a good location. We also like the water offered in the lobby.

One of the dirtiest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Stains everywhere and broken furniture. Mold in shower. Loud rooms. No free coffee and no mini fridge. Could hear the people Nextdoor to me all night. Even the elevator walls were super dirty.

Love this hotel!!! Came over and over again. It probably need a renovation, but rooms are big, service is very good and the location is unbeatable.

We stayed at this hotel Sept. 20-22. We’ve stayed before but there’s a problem with the bathroom lights. They don’t shut off!! We asked ahead if they could fix it and they said they could. The person at the front desk when we arrived said it wasn’t possible. We were up all night and as a result, we won’t stay again and don’t recommend this hotel! They don’t tell the truth!
