The location was perfect, walking distance to verity we wanted to see! I was allowed to keep my car in valet parking all day after checking out which was fantastic. The staff was super helpful and accommodating, the room was lovely, spacious, and clean

It was an okay hotel, nothing special. The room has all the essentials for any short trips. The hotel is in a prime location which is great.
This hotel was central to North Market, Short North Arts District, German Village and neighboring parks. The beds were comfy, the sound machine was a great addition since my room was near a busy highway, so noise was not a bother to getting a good night's rest. The Check in process was very accommodating, the weather was not cooperating with my plans so they were nice enough to let me check in a couple hours early. Valet was quick and efficient and totally hassle free. The Astra Rooftop I would highly recommend. I had the Banana Mai Tai and the Beet Salad with Blackened Chicken which was amazing, along with the views. I would definitely stay again.

Our first room the sheets were dirty but the staff was very helpful and switched our room right away
Tv channels would work properly occasionally but with so much to do out there it didn’t bother us u less you have children to entertain. Everything was clean. Breakfast had to be paid for due to a premier feel and food on the table. Parking is NOT free.
The whole area was just amazing. The hotel was welcoming, clean, and the staff was very nice and helpful. Valet was also on their game. My husband and I came for the Zara Larsson concert and Kemba Live was only an 11 min walk from the hotel. A liquor store and dispensary were with in 2 min walk from the hotel as well. Great area I definitely recommend staying.

Beautiful and modern luxury in the heart of downtown Columbus. The rooms are updated with rainfall showers, square fixtures and an amazingly comfortable bed. Walking distance to the arena and other downtown locations. The breakfast bar was very upscale (prosciutto, turkey sausage, oat milk, etc) but also down to earth (cereal, toast, juice). We weren't able to eat at the hotel restaurant but there were so many choices within walking distance. Overall, a great place to stay.
Very nice room and bathroom. Staff was friendly, valet parking was a bonus. Great location. Astra bar restaurant was really cool. Only down was no morning coffee option besides keurig.
Lovely hotel and room. Would definitely stay again - next time in warmer weather to take advantage of the beautiful Astra rooftop bar. Was greeted with a beautiful sunrise from our “view” room. Fun area with restaurants and a park.
The rooftop bar was excellent in the evening for cocktails and in the morning for breakfast!
Our room was perfect as well

Overall, it’s a nice hotel with friendly staff and good customer service.
The restaurant on top is great! Make sure to book a reservation. Great local close to the Short North area. Also right across the street from the North Market
My only suggestion is to request a room opposite of the highway side (rt 71). It’s loud at night with the highway
