Symphony Hotel, Cincinnati

Character of hotel. Stayed in the Mozart room. The phonograh was a pleasant surprise. Staff very friendly. Walking distance of restaurants, park and Music Hall.

Breakfast at 9 is too late for travelers

The bed was very comfortable and I love they leave water and snacks in the room. What a nice extra. The breakfast is much nicer on the weekend I believe. I was there during the week and there were not as many choices that had protein if you don't eat dairy. There was dairy free milk for coffee. The location is wonderful! It is 1/2 block from Washington Park which is a beautiful and active park. It is a beautiful area of town!

I would like other options for breakfast that are healthier. The Belgium waffle was delicious but the only fruit was an orange or apple to peel. No bananas which I really like

location, breakfast history.

beds are high for a short leg person to get into.

A very unique place to stay! Just a few minutes walk to the Memorial Hall OTR where we had tickets to a concert. Very comfy bed. I would stay again.

Beware that there is no elevator and there are 3 floors. We were on the third floor and wish we would have used two smaller pieces of luggage instead of one large suitcase. They say that parking is "around the corner" but they failed to tell us it is actually around the corner and then across the street. But, it is just a few minutes walk and you can unload at the door

uniqueness

I liked the history of the building, and the roof top communal area with the fireplace. The room seemed clean as well. I slept well on the bed too. The free water bottles and snacks were a nice touch too.

I didn't like how awkward it was for checking in/checking out with the parking garage being a few blocks away and the street technically had "no parking" signs along it, so it felt stressful getting my car out of the way in a timely fashion. I understand it's an old building but it was a bit uncomfortable that I could hear my neighbor coughing and walking around in the room next to me. The whole place seemed very dark; wish it was better lit since there was so much dark wood. The breakfast that came with the room was honestly pretty disappointing--the sausage patties just looked plain sad and the waffle was not great. If just the breakfast was elevated, it would have added so much to the entire stay.

location is great, very friendly staff

great location and the room was fine.

I was supposed to receive the entry code to the entrance door to my phone but haven’t received it and I had to wait outside for half an hour until the owner came and assisted me.

super comfortable bed

Restaurant was excellent, but make a reservation. We were lucky they fit us in. Continental Breakfast is amazing!!

Some minor updates and repaired could be done. It is an old building though. Kind of part of the charm.

breakfast was simple and good!

room and bath was not spacious even if room was attractive! however, considering price.. it was decent!

The location is great, and the hotel is certainly unique. Breakfast was great. Nearby free parking is a great perk.

The bathroom door did not close all the way or stay closed. The only open power outlet to plug in phone chargers didn’t work. The floors need repair.

location

breakfast was good, not great

ambiance and history

sound travels through the walls. We could hear everything happening in the across from ours. Also, the sound coming from the mini splits was really loud.

The two innkeepers were welcoming, friendly, and extreme helpful. My husband needed a room to work in for a couple of hours and he was able to use one in the back. We had The Bach Room and it was cozy, quiet and the bed very comfortable. There were plenty of towels that were new and fluffy. Their was a Nespresso machine and a mini fridge in the room also! We were able to walk or catch an Uber very easily. We would definitely recommend this hotel and we would stay here again!

Our only disappointment was in the breakfast. It was more like what you would get at a Super 8 Motel. We were asked if we would like waffles and sausage for breakfast and we replied yes only to be brought 2 small barely toasted waffles and a sausage pattie that had been steamed? There was also yogurt, granola, a wheat bread, fruit , OJ and coffee available.

The parking garage is amazing, and the neighborhood a fabulous for shopping, food, and great speakeasys. The staff is very helpful with recommendations on where to go .

Don't stay for breakfast. Has to be the worst hotel breakfast I've ever had.

historic and beautifully furnished

nothing

Room was quaint. History of the hotel we very interesting. Hotel was removated very well. Continental was fine

Breakfast could have been better.

Great service from the start. The inn keeper makes you feel like a VIP from the time you arrive to the time you leave. The rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. The bartender kept lively conversation. Over all great experience, if your looking for a great experience , I would suggest for any of my friends or family to stay here.

It is hard to find anything to improve on here but if I had to pick something I would say I did not like the floor of the shower in my room, just a little uncomfortable is all.

The staff were super friendly and incredibly helpful. Beautiful building and I loved the themed rooms! Highly recommend. Plus free parking

No elevator, but it is an old building so just make sure before booking if any of your party need an elevator, they may struggle to get up the stairs. Especially if you have luggage to carry.

Its proximity to Music Hall, the ambiance and the Copeland room is nice and spacious.

Zero, nada

We were disappointed that the restaurant and lounge were closed for the weekend due to the chef being sick. It was part of the reason we decided to stay here. We did go around to some nearby places which were awesome. The street car made it easy to get around.

The restaurant and lounge being closed. I felt like the price was high considering things were closed. We had planned on listening to music and having a drink before walking up to our room.

No one was available when I went to check in. No regular coffee in the room, just decaf

Location was great and history of the Symphony was appealing.

Our room was never serviced despite repeated requests and our shower body wash dispenser never filled.

The location and history of the property is amazing!
