Quirky and fun hotel in the heart of downtown Cincinnati

Great location in the middle of downtown Cincinnati. Close to a streetcar stop and walkable to the riverfront and OTR. Fun rooftop bar and really good ground floor bar/restaurant Metropole

Not very good views from the rooms with buildings all around.

Overall, a quirky and fun venue that I certainly recommend!

Excellent food and staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Facilities could use some maintenance. Bath drain was broken and many flickering and burnt-out lights.

Really great experience and I highly recommend it as we hope to return.

Loved the museum, the bedding was amazingly comfortable. The staff very friendly and attentive. The spa was great. Barbara and Desiree were fantastic.

The toilet ran the whole time we were there even though we reported it on day 1. The outside of the windows are in desperate need of cleaning.

We enjoyed the place/museum. Love the bar area & the staff was really friendly. Needs cleaned

We did not eat breakfast there. We love the place but it wasn't very clean. Scuffs on the hallway walls, carpet fraying and dirt in the corners of the room and bath. Love the decor and the walls in the bath.

liked it all except needed better cleaning

Pleasant stay for a few nights

Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. I also really liked the shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the shower.

The hotel needs a little TLC. Fresh paint in the hallways and hotel room.

Our stay was fantasic.

I love 21c hotels for the art and the Cincinnati location did not disappoint. The room was larger than other 21c's we've stayed in which made for great comfort. Staff was super friendly and helpful!

It was difficult to find my reservation because my name was listed as Robertson Tracy. Really not that big of a deal except in the moment.

Swanky Boutique Hotel

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Staff was friendly, professional, and accommodating. Interesting art displayed throughout the hotel. Room was upgraded to a well appointed and spacious suite. We will definitely stay again.

Valet parking isn't off the street. There wasn't always space in front of the hotel to valet which resulted in being in traffic trying to exit the vehicle with kids.

Great hotel. Very eclectic, but nice! I’d stay here again.

Nice hotel, comfortable beds

Our lights were on a timer. They’d go off every few minutes. We had to open the door every time to rest timer. Told desk. They said they’d fix it, but it wasn’t fixed.

Great hotel

From the valet staff to the front desk, everyone was friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel gym had a variety of equipment. I enjoyed walking through the art exhibit. The hotel was within walking distance of the stadium.

Good but too expensive.

I tried to book a suite because I liked the one I had last time.

There was no suite available. I was quoted a price of $269 +tax. The bill was $560 with the only extra service $40 for overnight valet parking. How did we get double tge rate quoted?

Not bad. I'd stay again.

Coffee maker in room 713 didn't work. Parking was waaaay more expensive than anticipated. No complimentary breakfast was a bit surprising, at this price point.

See above. The art is fascinating, workout room pretty good, and room was fine, save for the coffee maker.
