The room was smaller than expected, and all the noise from outside came in. I stayed there for New Year's, but not only could I hear the sounds of the celebration, I could also hear every step and conversation of people walking in the hallway.
The fire alarm went off at night, and a manager (I assume it was the hotel manager) was running through the hallway, asking, 'Is everyone okay in here?!' That seemed like an unusual fire safety procedure.
The hotel is very unique and more like a VRBO then hotel. I really liked the decor and classical music themed rooms. My only "want" that was not available was a workout room. However, based on what the hotel is designed for, I completely understand the reason behind it. Easy access to restaurants, bars and the entire downtown area. If you are looking for a non-traditional hotel, this is just the place for you.
Very cool old hotel with unique rooms… we stayed in the Bach room and enjoyed our check-in experience and the room itself during our short stay. However, we were awakened at 7:15am to loud drilling or sawing in the room next to us just on the other side of our bedroom wall… it went on for 30 minutes or so. All in all (other than that) would recommend staying here.
We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the Cincinnati Music Hall. Had tickets to the symphony. The location was perfect. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. It was just okay.
Great experience! It’s a small 9 room hotel on the outskirts of OTR near Findlay Market. The check in is atypical of a hotel and more of a bed and breakfast. There aren’t room numbers, but room names, and I stayed in the Schubert. The room was comfortable and despite my lack of pictures, there is an in room bathroom. The color palette was rich and inviting, with little trinkets aligning to the theme sprinkled throughout the room.The hotel has 3 floors without an elevator. There is an outdoor deck and a first floor restaurant, Vivaldi. There is a small food menu, but a vast liquor/ wine selection. There was a live jazz band as well. The parking garage is about a block away, so please be prepared for that journey. The garage is secured and well-lit, with 2 beautiful massive chandeliers.
My only complaints are: there needs to be a surge protector in the room, as if you have more than one item to charge, you have to hunt and move furniture to get access to an outlet. The complimentary breakfast is meh, and is a small fridge in the restaurant of regular store bought food. Lastly, there should be a note of how to check out in the hotel room, as the innkeepers are not available if you leave before the check out time of 11am. I had to search for how and where to leave the keys.

Very funky oddball hotel with beautifully antiquated rooms set with 19th century decor. No concierge service, really none at all. Run like an Airbnb. But lovely nonetheless and near a bunch of pubs and restaurants on Vine.
I absolutely LOVED our stay, very unique and a experience in itself. I do with that the breakfast was a little more available, but other than that we had such a great experience.
