What guests think

Reviews of The Cincinnatian Hotel Curio Collection by Hilton highlight a central downtown location and consistently friendly staff, alongside recurring issues with aging rooms, unreliable air conditioning and plumbing, noise from the atrium or street, and uneven housekeeping.

Guests appreciate the historic character, comfortable beds, and attached coffee shop, but note limited amenities, occasional restaurant closures, and expensive valet-only parking. Room quality varies widely, from spacious, updated suites to dated spaces with worn fixtures, interior-facing windows, and spotty Wi-Fi. Expect a convenient base downtown if you value location and service, but check room type and recent maintenance before booking.

The Cincinnatian is a lovely hotel in a great area of downtown Cincinnati. It has old charm, staff with friendly service, and well maintained rooms and facilities. There is a great coffee shop on the first floor, and there is also a restaurant, though it was unexpectedly closed the evening we attempted to go. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again if we return to Cincinnati.

The property is well located, with a 10 minute walk to the Riverwalk. Non-valet parking is close to the hotel. My main issue with this stay is with Expedia\'s relation with the hotel on breakfast. Without going into the particulars, my experience would say don\'t prebuy breakfast, which is not a buffet style, but essentially a credit in the hotel "coffee shop". Better to just buy in the shop itself.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of the city. Walk to restaurants and shops. Very comfortable bed. Our room had a fireplace, jacuzzi and a shower for two with side jets. Its the city, so be prepared for parking fees. Will cost you $50 with tips.

For the price you pay, the hotel could at least have hot complimentary coffee in the lounge. They direct you to a restaurant that is attached where you pay for coffee

They only had 1 valet person working. There were no luggage carts. The whirlpool room I was put in was nothing like the site photos. The bed was not comfortable, there was no headboard so I was unable to sit up in the bed because of artwork they have on the wall. No tv in the bathroom as advertised on the site. Asked the front desk if any were available and she didn't know because they have no log of what rooms have what in them. Water that you can get at the barely stocked Dollar General was $3 a bottle. Had to ask for towels from the front desk because housekeeping didnt speak English nor understand the word "towel". The vents were filled with dust and the light bulbs were mix matched. The handicap button for the door outside dosent work. The fireplace in the bathroom does not blow out heat. The toilet handle had to be held down in order to flush. The pillows were extra flat and very uncomfortable. When checking out i went to the lobby for a luggage cart and again none were available, informed they only had 3 for the entire 8 story hotel and they share with the hotel next door. An employee came to my room with a blue laundry cart and expected us to put our luggage in it. There is only 1 ice maker on the 6th floor but no signs to let guest know that. The rooms have no microwaves. For this to be a Hilton, it was very poor and poorly managed. I will never stay at another Hilton unless its a Secrets Resort. I feel like the photos were false advertisements.

Room service was unavailable- this was a big one because we were starving. Also had one hand towel, and 2 bath towels- called to front desk and housekeeping brought 2 more bath towels. Didn’t realize until later there were no wash cloths , but just made due without. Valet parking was wonderful and super easy. Overall, it was a nice overnight stay for our event.

The front desk was notified four different times about it and kept saying someone would be up. It was squealing so bad we had to shut the water off to it. The bathtub had mold in the crease of tile. We unfortunately will not be back.

This hotel is how an older building should be modified for a hotel . I have stayed at other hotels downtown in several cities and normally extremely small rooms and high prices and outdated amenities. This hotel was perfect blend of our work charm and modem day peeks blended into one. Oversized room in our corner suite and nice size jetted tub in a 1950s style marbled tile finished around the double vanity and tub it self. Very comfortable bed and bedding . And HVAC was easily controlled and easily handing the bigger rooms

I have stayed here before and had better experiences. This room was very small and had a balcony that overlooked the lobby. That was a huge downfall as we were woken up all night from loud people in the lobby coming back from their night out. We could also hear what I assume was cleaning up or preparing the kitchen/ restaurant. That was very loud. I have stayed in other rooms that are more spacious and do not overlook the lobby. Had I known this is what I was booking I would not have booked. It is located in a great location and is a 1 min walk from Fountain Square but this room was lacking anything special.

Really nice room, but our view overlooked the lobby. Very weird, made the room feel like a storage closet. Worst part was the lobby echos and the windows aren’t soundproof, so people coming in and out of the lobby woke us up several times. I’d ask for a street facing room next time.

We showed up to the hotel and nobody was at the front desk to greet us where we waited hoping someone would show up, finally they did. They don't clean/refresh the rooms daily and I was told if it's over 2 days I need to call them and let them know even though we only have enough towels, coffee in the room for one day. The interior courtyard was loud at 5am. Wifi kept going in and out, so if you're working, its a nightmare. We called down to the front desk and a couple times it rang endlessly. Not sure what is going on there but the place is a mess. Never again.

AC was very loud and squealed in the room. The toilet leaked water all over the bathroom. I told the front desk about the leak before we left for our event, we got back and there had clearly been someone in our room since the soaked toilet water towels were moved but the toilet still leaked. We were also told there was 24/7 valet at check-in but when we got back to the hotel between 10-11p we were told there was no valet and had to park down the block.

Upgraded to a premium room at no cost and without request, which was appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The front desk manager sent me a text the day after check in to make sure everything was going well and to ask if we needed anything. I love the location in central downtown near virtually everything you'll need. I'm sure we'll be back again in our next visit to Cincinnati.

We checked in and went up to our room. The room had not been cleaned. We came back down and the gentleman next to us checking in also had a dirty room and walked into a woman brushing her teeth in the bathroom. The front desk went to check the new room before we checked in. He was gone for quite some time and I believe he made house keeping clean this room within 5-10 minutes so we didn’t have a second dirty room. I loved this hotel previously but two customers going into dirty, occupied rooms is unacceptable.

We had a great stay! Our first room was great but the AC went out in that room midway through the stay. Ronnie at the front desk was extremely helpful and quickly moved us to an upgraded room for the remainder of the stay. The accommodations in both rooms were fantastic - very comfortable bed. The bathroom was incredible with a nice soaking tub. The coffee in the coffee shop downstairs is excellent. Ronnie, Michael, and Wash at valet were all very friendly and courteous. We will definitely be back!

Our whirlpool tub would not drain and was dirty. The toilet would not flush and was about to overflow. I called the front desk and waited an hour. No one came. We went to the front desk and spoke to a manager who sent us up a really young "engineer" who's solution was to just shut off our water and not come back. 12 hours with a non flushing toilet. Absolutely ridiculous. Stopped at front desk the next morning and was assured I would get a refund and that has not happened.

Will you received terrible service from both the front desk and the valet? They were unable to get our car for the valet and they literally made us walk to the parking garage and search for our car in 90° heat which took us over 30 minutes carrying all of our luggage I was so pissed off. I had called for room service in the morning and the woman hung up on me so I decided not to order when I went to the desk to check out said oh I’m sorry I I was the one who answered the phone when you called I didn’t mean to hang up on you , why would she not call me back? If she had any interest in good service, she would’ve done that so disappointed I’m not go to Cincinnati again and I used to love this hotel when it was managed by original owners Hilton.
