Overall we had a nice stay, but the rooms were not soundproof so we heard a lot of footsteps above us and noise from neighbouring rooms. It’s an older building so that’s understandable, however would have preferred a bit more quiet.

Excellent w great character and charm. An older and ‘classic’ hotel that looks newer and fresh as opposed to worn and tired.

Good location for Yale campus and restaurants. Hotel staff unfriendly and too disinterested to be bothered to say hello or good morning. Shower pressure was terrible - see other reviews. Cafe coffee decent (made up for awful instant coffee in room) but good options very limited. Not good for folks with mobility issues.

Really close to Yale. No on site parking so we had to search for parking and walk back to the hotel late at night after we arrived…and there were some iffy characters around the area. More iffy characters greeted us near our parked car at 8:30am the next morning. The best part was Kristina at the front desk! She was really friendly and helpful.

I had a great time at the Graduate. Quiet, close to campus, close to Toad's place, and close to bunch of great restaurants. Only area of improvement would be the WiFi -- it was consistent but not particularly fast.

Great hotel in the ghetto

Great hotel with a delicious coffee shop, we enjoyed our stay but likely wouldn’t return. Although it’s located near one of the best schools, the area feels unsafe. Bikers and vehicles without license plates frequently disregard traffic laws, terrorizing the streets. Walking around, Harlem felt safer by comparison.
