Provider-sourced guest reviews.
It was overly priced had to pay 20 daily for parking
The room was comfortable and the decor was great.
The lobby had a strange smell.
Such fun decor! Very clean. The staff was friendly and quick to help.
We had average service at the Poindexter coffee shop in the lobby. The food was great and the staff was friendly. They were just slow to get our order prepared.
It was very good. Tasty and easy.
Breakfast was not included. I like the parking garage however my coffee maker or kettle was not working in the room. Why don't they offer a regular coffee maker for guests
I asked for a replacemekettle never got one
La decoración, la limpieza, es confortable y está cerca del campus de la universidad. El desayuno tiene varias opciones y está bien
Ea caro en relación calidad precio, pero fuimos el día del move-in d nuestro hijo, no se si en otras ocasiones es más barato
Very colorful
It had a weird smell to it. I posted a picture of what the mattress cover sheet look like. That was just one stain. Thank gosh I bring my own cleaning supplies because around the toilet was unclean. I ended my stay a day early due to this.
How the colors and the layout of the property made it feel happy and welcoming.
The location in downtown Cincinnati
Good location for campus
The “freaky” wallpaper in the bathroom (according to my son). Some of the things were showing their age- door to bathroom paint, AC unit grate, linens were stretched and didn’t fit bed well. Also, charging extra for parking in the garage when it’s the only place you can park.
This hotel is so special- the artistry that has gone into the design was outstanding. For a person who grew up in the 80’s, the nods to the toys made by Kenner was so impressive. The attention to detail in our room including the multi fabric headboards, curtains, bedding and retro art- just wow!!
Nothing
The decor, very colorful, maybe too much for some people
Ruff sheets, not soft! Frig wasn’t working, had to be changed out, toilet tissue holder was broken, no brochure in room, have to ask for info at desk to receive. Access to food and drink during lunch hours.

The location was great, and the staff was extremely courteous; I couldn't ask for a better experience.
The theme/decor was not my taste, but it was clean, appropriate, and comfortable, and there was nothing wrong with any part of my stay.
Very clean, nice staff, nice place
The staff was outstanding.
The room and hotel were dirty and run down. The shower was filthy, the soap dispensers weren't clean and the place smelled like wet dog.
The staff was excellent. The hotel was very clean.
Some of the art was a bit uncomfortable but the idea is cute. The staff was great but I dont think its worth the cost of the room. The beds felt like water beds shifting everytime someone moved. The coffee bar lacked options.
The location, decor
The smell, the beds and linens weren't what I expected (stayed at the graduate in Nashville).
Love all the thoughtful, funky decor! The property was super clean and located close to everything we wanted to do.
The coffee shop only had one staff member during our stay. Sunday morning on a holiday weekend the line took over half an hour. Loved our stay, but wish there was coffee in the room and somewhere in the bathroom to set your stuff.

Convenient location. Very clean. Very friendly staff.

The Graduate is a unique hotel that is decorated to engage the senses. There are lots of large open spaces so it never feels crowded. Darek in the front desk was very helpful. The bartenders were fun & mixed great drinks. The room was a blast of color & design. The free water was a nice touch. The parking garage was well lit & you receive a bar code to scan on exit. We had a great visit, enjoyed the green spaces outside & highly recommend.
Very cool room. Eclectic.
The beds weren't that comfortable. No box spring, 10 inch mattress.
I liked the design elements and the parking garage was easy to access.
The staff was exceptional!
Great service as usual.beem coming back for three years now. Rooms decor make me smile and staff are excellent.
Not in the center
My husband and son stayed here when my son had a medical procedure at Cincy Children’s. They were great. At some point my son lost his glasses, but we weren’t sure if it was at the hotel. I stopped by a couple weeks later and Jason at the front desk and Karen in housekeeping went way out of their way to help look for them! Service here is alwyas strong.
Everything
Nothing
We didn't get to eat any of the breakfast, they was very busy, we stood there for 20 mins, before I asked was anyone going to take our order. They wasn't taking anymore orders because it's was only one cook in the back. So we had to go elsewhere.
Great location
The hotel was beautiful. The staff were friendly and the room itself was very comfortable
Only complaint i have is the pillows were kinda lumpy probably from being washed but other than that.
Staff was awesome!!! Felt welcome immediately. Lobby was open, spacious, and colorful. Front desk staff throughout my staff we courteous and helpful!!! Room met my expectations and Fiona's cafe satisfied my needs!
There really was not anything that I disliked. I would recommend having a microwave in the room. But through the room description, it was already stated that there was no microwave. So, I have no complaints.
Die Nähe zum Zoo und das einfache Einchecken
Die Klimaanlage und die Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten Frühstück sehr teuer und nicht auf internationale Gäste ausgerichtet Parking kostenpflichtig
Bar restaurant and parking and the hospitality
I liked everything
Food was decent, staff was kind.
The shower in the bathroom was very dirty and the floor felt grimy. We also had a hard time with the thermostat.
It was quiet
I got charged double the price I should have been charged. I am a nurse and could not drive home. This hotel charged me twice as much as eveeyone else. I won't stay here again. The.food was disgusting.
Facilities, cleanliness
Close to campus
This was our 4th time staying here and will be our last. Check in was supposed to be at 4. Was told that we wouldn’t be able to check in until at least 4:30 due to a large group that had checked out late. Asked if they could text when room was ready, said they don’t have that capability. Was offered a code for the parking garage that did not work. Had to pay $10.00 the next morning to get out of garage.
⭐☆☆☆☆ As a longtime Hilton Honors Diamond member, I’ve stayed in hundreds of properties around the world — and I have never experienced anything like this. During my stay at The Graduate Cincinnati, my purse was stolen from inside my locked room. At first, management seemed concerned and admitted that housekeeping had left my door open for about 15 minutes. However, when I escalated the issue to loss prevention, the story changed completely. Suddenly, no one could take responsibility — despite the hotel’s own admission that the door was left unsecured. The lack of accountability and empathy was appalling. Not only did the hotel fail to ensure basic guest safety, but the follow-up was dismissive and defensive. Being told “we’re not responsible” after your personal belongings are stolen — because their staff left your room open — is absolutely unacceptable. If you value your safety and peace of mind, do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. There are plenty of hotels in Cincinnati that actually care about their guests and take security seriously.
Close to Cinci U
Paid parking. Needed thicker pillows
Funky interior design, spacious rooms, spacious lobby with pool table, gym.
It felt a bit cold in the building.
We stayed here while visiting Xavier University with my son. I booked it before I realized what a unique place it is but was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the quirkiness of Hilton Graduate. The room was more than comfortable and cute. We also enjoyed dinner at Fiona's and breakfast at Poindexter's on site-both of which were reasonably priced for hotel food/drinks and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting UC, Xavier or the Cinci area.
Keisha is an amazing bartender ask for her:) 👍👍👍👍👍, food and service is 5 star.
We always love staying in Graduate Hotels and the Cincinnati one was no exception. Clean, well-appointed room; easy parking and great location! We would definitely stay again!
Room wasn’t cleaned properly. Bathroom trash can had tissues in it. Fridge had waters I assume was left from previous this. Shower had some hair on the floor. Toilet was broken chain came off fixed it myself. Had problems with the parking garage. QR code didn’t work to get out had to pay and went to the front desk later about it.
Great location
Great Staff
Stay was great staff was great decor was neat will come again. Not too far from all the action on downtown. Easy garage parking and decent price for overnight, twenty bucks.
Good location. Bathroom is very inconvenient as there is no surface to place anything. Otherwise good hotel.

Great place for kids
The staff was very nice. The room was very clean. The bed was great. The location is good, near the Cincinnati childrens hospital.
However the information about the pack delivery was confused. We did not have a included breakfast, there was some differences between Booking and hotel previous information.
This hotel perfectly melds the comforts of a trusted chain, with the unique appeal of a boutique hotel. It was truly an incredible stay from start to finish. If you travel with kids, they had a free little stuffy waiting at the front desk, and of course there's a lot to look at and places to explore within the hotel from vintage cars, to a Fiona the Hippo statue, lots of neon lights, giant pencils, a basketball net, and plenty more. The food on site is fantastic, the service was fabulous, and the room was filled with unique design features, and plenty of local Cincinnati appeal. Even your room keys are adorned with Cincinnati celebrities as if it were their "Graduate" student card. You can learn a lot about the city inside this hotel, and outside you're on the University of Cincinnati campus, and a very easy walk to the Cincinnati Zoo. When it comes down to it, our room was clean and unique, it was quiet, the staff were great, the location was excellent. This hotel was worth every penny, and on that point, it was great value for the price.
Like the bar and food
good place for a weekend visit wspcially for medical conferences
Amazing and weird and wonderful!
Friendly, clean and close to the children’s hospital.
Hfjak
The staff was nice. We loved all the art and enjoyed our drinks at the bar. We will definitely be coming back.
The wallpaper in the bathroom
This is one of the coolest hotels we have ever stayed in! It is quirky and brightly decorated. It is in a great location. The food at the restaurant was great! My boys loved the basketball hoop downstairs, and the pool table near the restaurant. We had a great stay!
Friendly staff, fun environment, great hotel!
Organized and clean
My family loved our stay. The kids especially loved all the bright theming. It was a nice departure from the traditional sterile hotel room. Staff were kind and accommodating. We also enjoyed dinner in the lobby restaurant.
Great people
Delightful! The vibrant and fun decor was matched by the friendliness of the staff. Great place to stay at a good price!
Location
Room was weird ....bed was super low (almost a futon)...nowhere to put your your items in bathroom, no shelf , no cart or anything, no bathmat.....didnt tell us there was a parking charge at desk.......stayed there before and loved it , this time very underwhelming
.
Clean room, beautifully decorated with lots of details! Would stay again!
I love the breakfast it was so good and the staff are really nice :)

This is our favorite hotel. Staff is so kind and everything is beautiful. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at The Graduate. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and a very nice size. The food at Fiona’s was very tasty. We love the Pickle pizza. Would definitely stay here again.
I really enjoyed this hotel. The design the decor everything about this hotel was amazing. I love to pick unique hotels to stay in just for the experience and I was blown away by this hotel. I will definitely be staying here again in the future!
A sophisticated hotel within walking distance of Bogart's.
We love this hotel's ambience and fun decor. We were not happy with the lack of dining options, and the difficulty of sightseeing the university campus
The room smelled like a wet basement and it’s on the 6th floor. The food is as low quality as it gets. With the way it looks you wouldn’t expect these two things.
Ok. Rooms weren’t cleaned. We had to ask twice. Water bottles weren’t replaced. It’s just ok at best
