Pretty cool place to stay. Bring your own drinks though. It's five dollars for a can of soda!
Booked our room through orbitz a month in advanced and requested 2 double beds. I said we had 4 guests and assumed that we gave enough notice to get our room of choice considering we had 4 people. We checked in and they said we had a room w a king and the room with double beds was not available. So yeah, 4 people in a king bed, great experience. (Sarcastic)
I'm usually here on business. Always a nice spot to stay with the bonus of having an interesting and changing art exhibits in the lobby and around the hotel.
The most outstanding feature of this hotel is the staff. Always pleasant and ready to do whatever they can to make the visit special. The museum is fun and certainly provides a great atmosphere. Location: Perfect, easy access to restaurants, museums, theaters and shopping. I would definitely return.
Hotel was very modern and clean. Friendly staff. Only downer is that my special request ahead of time was not met or even discussed.
I had a wonderful stay at the 21c in Cincinnati (for the most part). The rooms were decorated wonderfully with a slight bit of whimsy. Staff at checkin was friendly and accommodating. The valet was prompt. And those penguins.... With that being said, I did not give the hotel five stars because I left my toiletry bag in the room and housekeeping was unable to recover it. It took over 24 hours to receive a return call. And ultimately, the bag was not found. I find this hard to believe considering I had the bag in the hotel and did not take it with me at my departure. So, unfortunate given what a great time I had prior to check out.
Very friendly staff and comfortable room. Stayed for two nights and enjoyed our time there. Very clean and accommodating.
We loved our hotel room. It was bright, modern and very clean. The decor was quirky and fun. The only negative was the location. We weren't used to the city noise. We were up on the 8th floor, and could hear music below us (it was the weekend, so it may be quieter during the week). We also had a lot of trouble trying to find parking, so we ended up paying the insane price of $35 for valet parking. Tip: The restaurant does not have the same food as what's shown on the menu in your room, so make sure you know what you are getting into. :) It was too fancy for us not our taste. But they did have fantastic service.
I went to school in Cincinnati years ago and had not been back for a long time. I was familiar with the other hotels in the downtown area but wanted to try something new. What a perfect experience we had at 21c. The hotel is beautiful and quirky. We especially loved the large yellow penguins that mysteriously move around the hotel and even showed up outside our door one morning. The staff was courteous and professional and the room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was huge and artfully designed. I had a few drinks at the bar, which is lovely and next time, we'll try the restaurant. The hotel is situated in a very central area with many restaurants just around the corner. Everything here is walkable- we walked to the riverfront to a Reds game, across the river to Newport and in the other direction all the way to the Horseshoe Casino. Would definitely stay here again. We loved it.
Great fun hotel and great location. Would reco this hotel to anyone staying in cincy.
great fun hotel in the perfect location in cincy Loved our experience there. Staff was amazing. Metropole was very good also.
From the minute we walked in, we were like WOW ! Not your normal hotel. Very modern, the "art" was like Alice in Wonderland-ish, or maybe a little Pink Floydish. The bathroom, WoW. The bed..... Never been in a more comfortable bed. We're normally Holiday Inn or Hampton Inn. This was more expensive- but you certainly get what you pay for here-I would and have highly recommend staying here at least once !
Unique hotel does everything well. From valet parking to the front desk, to room service and maid service, everything was top notch. Loved touring the museum and all the art work on the walls throughout the hotel.
Staff was fantastic at every level from valet, cleaning, front desk. They look for oppotunities to assist. Great restaurant suggestions. Very personal touch. The rooms and hotel in general are comfortable, clean and sophisticated. Lots of small touches make it step above.
The design of 21c is not surprisingly one of its biggest draws, and it did not disappoint in that regard. But the service and quality of the hotel in general set it apart even more from other hotels. We were upgraded to a King Luxury room and it was fantastic--lots of space, very comfortable, and the artwork was really fun. The Nespresso machine in the room was a really nice perk too. We loved the huge yellow penguins that kept popping up in different places around the hotel!
The hotel is very cool with lots of modern amenities. I also appreciated that they don't skimp on the necessities as some "modern" hotels often do. Our room was very clean, quiet and comfortable.The bar/restaurant is a great choice as well. I would stay here again!
Clean, Spacious, & Contemporary. Very friendly staff. Excellent experience overall.
Lots of fun! Quite original setting. Good decor. How much more do I have to write?
Wonderful experience. Everyone was superb. The front desk, bell hops, and valet drivers all went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We brought our dog with us and they ensured that check in was smooth and that she was taken care of as well.
Art exhibits were closed for private function so felt like we missed a little of the draw.

Thank you for sharing your experience. You did everything you thought you should to accommodate all of your guests properly and it went wrong anyway, mostly due to the limited number of double rooms that we actually have available. We understand your frustration and while it doesn't help you now we will utilize your invaluable feedback as we continue to explore ways to avoid this situation in the future. We value your business regardless of how you make your reservation and we would like to hear more from you directly. Please feel free to reach out to me the next time you are planning a trip to Cincinnati.
