Symphony Hotel & RestaurantSponsored

What a great hidden gem! We stayed at this hotel for a getaway in Cincinnati. Each room is unique. The location is awesome if you're exploring OTR. The innkeeper was responsive via text message. Check in and out were flawless. There's a cute little rooftop patio for hanging out on. Guests should be aware that the stairs are narrow and a bit steep; no elevator. Its an older property and that comes with the territory. It might be convenient for them to have a baggage room, but I suspect if you asked the inn keeper they could work something out, and the mozart garage isn't far. The innkeeper worked with us to let us get the car parked a few hours early so we could spend more time exploring OTR. When we stayed the place was nearly empty. The restaurant and lounge look really nice for a weekend but on weeknights it was dead. It was fine, we were looking for a quiet relaxing place to go, but just be advised that there's nothing on site unless you coord it with the innkeeper most weeknights. That was fine -- all of OTR is an easy walk or streetcar ride away and we wanted to explore. Overall, what a cute little hotel! We're glad we stayed here instead of opting for a better known brand name option in the downtown district. Rooms: We had the Copland room. Well appointed, comfortable bed, cute antique furniture. The shower was clean and modern. Each room is unique -- we'd be interested to try a few others. Safety: I wasn't sure about the area as parts of OTR are a bit sketchy. The hotel itself was fine. There is a police substation right down the street, between the hotel and its associated Mozart garage. Most times when we were walking to or from the hotel there was a patrol car idling less than 200 yards away. Washington park is well lit and also patrolled and right next door. Access to the hotel is controlled via a pin code door lock. Walkability: The garage is a short walk away. All of OTR is an easy stroll. The free streetcar stop is about a hundred yards from the hotel at Washington Park, and you can hop on and go up to Findley Market or down to the bank. In the evening we were able to easily wander to a few bars and restaurants around the park, walk to our theater for a show, then head back to the hotel and nothing was more than an easy 10 minute stroll. Perfect location for exploring OTR.

The Symphony Hotel and Restaurant was a great experience. The hotel is uniquely different from the usual hotels I tend to stay at and the pork chop at the restaurant was amazing! Nearby activities: Endless number of things to do in the over the rhine neighborhood.

This is a great little spot. Quiet B&B vibes in old architecture. Breakfast is served in a cool lounge downstairs where there is a restaurant and live music. The parking garage is a nice touch and right next to the stadium there, if you’re looking for that too. Rooms: They’ve maintained the feel of the history in this place but made sure it is comfortable in a more modern way. Great high ceilings. Safety: This place is located across from the police station, which does not mean that you are safer, (and might mean the opposite depending on who you are) but it is relevant info. Walkability: It’s easy to park in the garage (provided opener remote) and walk towards the center of the city from there. Food & drinks: Breakfast is provided all week in the restaurant/lounge and on weekends is a bigger deal with made to order eggs, etc. The simpler version during the week is still nice - with waffles, sausage, yogurt, cereal, fruit, and oatmeal.

Great location. Cool style. The breakfast is underwhelming. Toaster didn’t work, no regular milk for cereal, the sausage was mediocre, and the coffee was mediocre. Still nice to have a breakfast option. Fun vibe in the room and a cool record player Rooms: Room is what you expect from a boutique hotel. Not luxury but fun and comfortable. Not a room to hang out in but when you are there it is fun. Walkability: Easy walk to the orchestra and to OTR.

Customer service, service and breakfast, extremely bad. I don't recommend it.

Bad service , bad breakfast uncomfortable

Loved my stay here! The hosts were so accommodating and the location was perfect! And the garage had chandeliers and this whole gallery vibe going on so cool! We stayed in the Beach Room and it was ideally sized for a couple who likes to go out and see the city.
