    I loved my stay in the spacious one-bedroom premium. The indoor pool was a fantastic way to relax after a day out. The gym on the 28th floor offers unique views and great equipment. Staff provided excellent service throughout my visit. 🌟

    rooftop terrace
    breathtaking views
    faulty key cards
    minor inconvenience

    The views from the rooftop terrace were absolutely breathtaking! 🌅 The only downside was struggling with the key cards, but that didn’t overshadow the amazing atmosphere and comforts during my stay.

    The view from my one-bedroom premium suite was absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the Philadelphia skyline in all its glory! I loved spending time at the 28th-floor amenities, especially the indoor pool with city views—it felt like a dream. Enjoying a glass of wine on the garden terrace made every sunset magical!

    would recommend 🥂❤️

    italian pasta
    rooftop terrace
    upgraded vibe
    faulty key cards
    outdated scanners

    Sotto Ristorante Italiano served pasta that’ll have you thinking you’re in Italy! The rooftop terrace is a chill spot for family hangs. Amenities on the 28th floor are a treat. I definitely felt upgraded in my room and enjoyed the vibe!

    We struggled with the key cards, taking 5 minutes to enter our room, and those elevator scanners are begging for an update. Still, it didn’t ruin our vibe. the overall experience shined through.

    italian dishes
    rooftop terrace
    microwave issue
    dusting needed

    If you’re in the mood for some authentic Italian flavors, hit up Sotto Ristorante Italiano just a short stroll away. Their pasta will make you feel like you’ve been teleported to Italy! Also, don't sleep on that rooftop terrace for family hangouts—perfect spot to unwind. My room was a legit upgraded living space that didn’t just feel like a hotel.

    I wish the room had a microwave for those late-night cravings. I’m all about quick bites on the go! Also, a little extra dusting in the corners wouldn't hurt—nothing massive, just keeping it fresh.

    spectacular view
    impeccable service

    We had a killer view from our room and the staff at the front desk really went above and beyond. Especially Joe, he hooked us up with an upgrade and some Prosecco which set the vibe for our whole stay.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but I guess you pay for quality.

    easy access

    great walks to museums and parks just a few steps away

    the views were stunning from my room on the 32nd floor, and the easy access to the University of Pennsylvania and the Franklin Institute made exploring the city super enjoyable during my stay.

    The one-bedroom premium was really spacious and felt like a legit home. The indoor pool was an awesome way to wind down after exploring the city. Plus, the gym on the 28th floor had great equipment. Staff were super friendly and on top of things, making everything easy. Just wish there was a microwave for late-night snacks!

    beautiful parks

    amazing central area near great restaurants and city parks

    This spot is perfect for a weekend wanderer like me, with the University of Pennsylvania just a few steps away providing stunning views and vibrant campus life. The beautiful Rittenhouse Square is less than a 15-minute stroll for some relaxing greenery among the urban buzz.

    rooftop pool
    spacious layout
    friendly staff
    unexpected parking costs
    gym renovation

    The amenities were great. I particularly loved spending time at the rooftop pool, which offered views that felt refreshing. I also appreciated the spacious layout of my room, which made it easy for me to settle in comfortably. On a side note, I received exceptional service from a friendly staff member during my stay, which made a difference.

    I faced some issues with the parking situation, as it added unexpected costs to my trip. Additionally, there was a renovation happening in the gym, which I was hoping to use.

    The recent stay at Aka University City Aparthotel was exceptional.

I particularly appreciated the impressive amenities, especially the fitness center on the 28th floor and the stunning rooftop pool that offered breathtaking views of Philadelphia. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive, facilitating a seamless check-in and check-out process.

    Parking costs were high.

    We had a wonderful family stay with my aunt at this hotel. The spacious room came with a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for our needs. On the 28th floor, the indoor pool offered stunning views and the fitness center made working out easy and enjoyable for us all.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly menus available.
