My stay at Hotel Aka Nomad was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, close to attractions but still quiet, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately, I found some of the amenities lacking; the breakfast was disappointing and the toiletries were basic at best. Staff were friendly and helpful, which certainly added a positive touch to my experience.

I loved the hotel's location at the corner of Madison Ave and E31st Street, making it easy to access various attractions. The lobby had a warm and inviting vibe, which I enjoyed. However, the service left much to be desired, particularly with my missed wake-up call and the breakfast options. Overall, I would consider staying here again primarily for the location, but I'm not keen on the room and breakfast package. 🏨🍽️

My stay at Hotel Aka Nomad was enjoyable, with service that truly stood out, especially the helpful doormen and friendly staff.

5.2/10

I had a decent time at the hotel overall, but there were definitely some downsides. The staff was super polite and helped with anything I needed, and the location was fantastic, allowing me to explore the city's hot spots with ease. However, my room was ridiculously hot even with the thermostat set lower, and it flooded while I was in the shower. So, not the best experience in that regard.

The room was spacious with a comfy bed, but my experience was marred by a non-functional drain in the shower and an inadequate air conditioning system.
