Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Many visitors end up staying in a bed and breakfast near this urban campus or in a Downtown hotel, but Hotel Graduate is an excellent alternative. It’s on the UC hospital campus, a few blocks from the Cincinnati Zoo, and five minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Rooms are clean, and the beds especially plush.”

Lawrence our check-in person is by far the best at any hotel because we felt so friedliness!!!

The uniqueness of the hotel’s interior design is unforgettable and very cool and neat. The door passes are super creative and very customer friendly when it comes to drop off at the parking garage.

One of the elevators was not working which limited the transport to one elevator for our floor. I had to wait over 10minutes before it was available for me. The elevator that was not working should have had an out of service sign as we got in and pressed buttons but nothing would happen. The doors would close but thankfully reopen as we wouldn’t get stuck! Yes, we told the downstairs and they said that they were aware…..??

it was great in spite of everything.

loved the motif, convenient location, family friendliness, just like the hotel overall.

cleaning fees, yet our room was not cleaned daily. also the shampoo bottle was empty we had to ask for refill. But that's okay, as it was resolved right away.

Highly recommended, especially if you are going to the zoo during your stay.

This hotel is decorated in such a fun manner. The rooms were very clean and the staff were all very nice. Garage parking was safe and convenient and It was an easy walk to the zoo. We enjoyed the patio and fireplace in the evening for dinner and they had a nice selection for breakfast to purchase in the morning.

It was a fun weekend get away.

The location was convenient to the main arteries through the city. The zoo and University were right next door. There were food options and shopping spots close by as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The decor in the lobbies and rooms were bright and fun with great attention to detail. The bar and lounge area were very inviting and comfortable as well.

It would be nice to have coffee shop open longer into the day for afternoon coffee cravings.

Super fun and energizing vibe - not relaxing but stimulating!

The fresh vibe, the creative, colorful lobby, the bed was comfy!

The wallpaper in the bathroom - the cartoon head of a pop figure with a cowboy hat and stars in his eyes, always made me feel alarmed/jumpy…i like bathrooms to be soothing, calm place…but that’s just me

Quirky decor! Location convenient as well. We were in town to see the zoo and then go to the eclipse the next day. Garage parking was easy!

It was great! Didn't use any other facilities we just needed a room.

Super funky design, comfortable, lovely staff

The design of our room was so fun and weird, I have never seen anything like it and ai loved it. The layout of the room was very comfortable and inviting. We even had a balcony! Unfortunately it was freezing cold, so we didn't get to use it, but I love the option. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. It was very easy to get in and out of the parking garage with the hotel key, which was a huge bonus because we did need to use our car to get just about anywhere

My one and only complaint was that there were no tea bags in the rooms, only instant coffee. (But honestly that's a pretty finicky complaint)

An unexpectedly cheerful hotel, right on campus.

The colorful, cheerful '80s retro post-modernism decor lifted my spirits more than I would have thought possible. Very comfy room and bed. It was convenient to be able to use the room key to activate the garage gate without additional charges. I appreciate that the clerk emphasized that we should keep a room key upon checkout so that we could exit without being charged a separate parking fee--then, you just drop your keys in a slot once the gate goes up.

Nothing comes to mind. If my family member decides to attend school here, I expect this will be our go-to for visits.

Cool decor, friendly staff, nice rooms, great price for holiday. Overall, it was a really nice stay! .

We were there over the Christmas holiday, so the restaurant was closed pretty much our entire stay, but it wasn't really a big deal. We got a good deal on the room because of the holiday, and the hotel was really cool and fun, so it more than made up for it!

A beautiful hotel, clean, beautifully decorated, really exciting, but it could do with breakfast for the price it charge

Booking.com sent an email informing me that breakfast was available at the hotel for 10 cents. This made me understand that it was a fee to manage the flow of people. However, this price refers to a single cup of coffee. The rest of the items you have to buy in a cafeteria, paying high prices for each item: milk $4.00, cereal $2.00 etc.

Fun, nostalgic decor along the student theme. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Convenient to Cincinnati Children’s hospital. The airport was only 22 minutes away by Uber.

The location is great if you need to be close to the hospital but is a bit far from the downtown area.

The bunk mattress was slightly uncomfortable and the sofa had some marks, but otherwise everything was perfect.
