“This really has no relevance to most visiting AKA, BUT it is important to me and isn't that what reviews are for? The Smyth Hotel lobby was one of of the best work spaces in lower Manhattan. I was there once a week at a minimum and spent an average of $100-$120 each visit. THEN, the AKA bought it, spent a small fortune renovating it, and CLOSED it to the public. I went to conduct a business meeting today, at the AKA, and was shoo'd out due to the CEO "not wanting anyone but guests" to be in the lobby. I was prepared to buy a drink, food, etc, as I understand how space works in NYC, but this is just extreme. Mind you there wasn't a single person sitting in the newly renovated and designed space. I am writing the CEO as well, but you knew that already, didn't you.”

“I spent here 3 night during my last business trip in NYC. I tried several hotel in the city, but honestly speaking, I never found nothing like this! Position: is located in a beautiful area, in the border between Tribeca and Financial District. In front of the hotel there’s also the connection to the subway trough Chambers std exit. Location: all in the hotel smell of new or recently renovated. The hall is very nice, full fill of sofas that grant to meet somebody or just for a rest after a long day on walking in the city. The hall is also directly connected to the restaurant Smyth Tavern, where you can have a fantastic breakfast, a good lunch, a nice dinner or just for a cocktail. The location is really suggestive during the evening thank to its internal style, soft lights and a beautiful bar counter. The place is frequented by very nice people, so is a pleasant to stay here. Room: my room was amazing! Really super clean, super silent, super comfortable bed, very big bathroom with amazing shower. Coming back after a day around city was all the time a pleasure! Gym: the hotel have also a gym, open 24h. Is not big but equipped with all the most important machines. Staff: a i have to admit that the staff all the time that i have had need of them, has been soo kind and professional to reply to all my request! Price: the price is not cheap, but in line with other hotel in that area, with more benefit, so i think that is correct. To conclude, i have to say that if you need a very good base to approach you business or vacation in NYC, Smyth Tribeca represent a good choice, so don't let it get away!!”
