Symphony Hotel, Cincinnati

We loved how unique it was 

The location is was close to a lot things

The whole experience was great.

Parking was excellent. Loved the chandeliers and safety.

All good. Overall a satisfying experience.

Curtains did not go all the way down to the bottom of the window leaving about 2 feet from the bottom exposed to the outside.

The building is historic and decorated with a music theme as would be expect by the name. Limited staff, but friendly and helpful. Be aware that there is no elevator and all rooms are on the second floor.

Did not serve breakfast until 9:00am, which made for a quick breakfast to get to morning appointment. Breakfast was not ready at 9:00am; the server arrived at 9:00am. She was friendly and said she would "get the coffee going right away".

great location in Over the Rhine neighborhood, near Washington Park, the Music Hall, the market and various good restaurants and the free cable car that takes you all over downtown. Great and secure parking garage for free! Cute room in historic mansion.

Breakfast was a disappointment - little better than the cheap chain motels, though a much better setting and service. Please use real coffee cups instead of styrofoam!!

I loved the unique nature of the hotel and how accessible the location was for food and events.

I did not like that there were no staff available and not clear directions regarding check out.

architecture location food most of the staff

climbing stairs non blackout curtains so room was very bright at 6:00 am

A beautiful room, with a special design.

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

very unique and secure hotel which was all we needed plus more! Extremely close to FC stadium and Washington park and the breakfast was a bonus and satisfying to our needs. Definitely would stay again .Melissa was very nice and personable to our needs.

nothing

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

I loved the look and feel of the hotel. A room with a key. A room with a window that opens. A room looking like a 19th century boudoir. It was beautiful, clean and comfortable.

Only thing I regret, is that I was in a hurry and had to skip breakfast. That looked wonderful as I was walking out.

location, breakfast history.

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

What’s not to like?!! We loved this place. Felt like being transported back to the 1800s. The staff , food and music were all amazing. Close to lots of fun activities. We’ll definitely be back just to hang out

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.

Quirky historic building close to downtown. If you like tall ceilings, crown moulding, spacious well-appointed one of-a-kind rooms with a quirky, thoughtful, symphony-themed decor- then this place is for you! I walked to my downtown meetings in about 15 mins, it is also very close to the light rail 🚎 trolley line.

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

The location was great. Close to the music hall and TQL stadium. Also, walking distance to restaurants and bars. The hotel was charming. It is an old mansion converted to a hotel, so if you don't like old historical buildings and more of an antique feel, don't stay here. The room was quaint and clean, and we were provided snacks and water at no extra charge. There is a live band in the lobby on weekend nights, so if you want to go to bed before 11 pm, I wouldn't stay here. We loved the fun vibe and theme of the hotel and would most definitely stay here again. It is more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. There are several channels to stream if you are staying in. Breakfast was included in the price and it was even a custom order menu.

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!
