Great value, comfort, and location
This was our second time staying st Richmond Graduate, and it was still a great experience! Check-in was pleasant and easy, the room was spotless, and comfortable, and the location is fantastic (near downtown and only a few miles from one of the most unique areas of Richmond, Carytown.
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in and check out was quick and easy. The hotel was very cute and so clean. Our beds were comfortable. We were there for a show at the Altria Theatre and it was an easy walk. There are many restaurants in the area also.
Karay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of my favorite hotels in Richmond.
Joshua, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The service was excellent, but the cleanliness was less than desirable. The chairs in the restaurant were stained, the bathroom wasn’t clean and the carpets were stained,

Wonderful hotel convenient to everything. Nice staff and good restaurant/bar. Only issue was the non working elevator which led to very long waits for the one working elevator.

Staff is great, rooms fine, there’s just no water to shower so that sucks. Maybe they’ll give us a discount or a future stay coupon or something :)

A good stay at Graduate by Hilton Richmond
Concierge is helpful. Room is clean and tidy. Streets surrounding are beautiful. Nothing more can be asked at this rate!
KA KEI, 13-night trip

8/10 Very good

A suite
As I mentioned earlier, when I entered the room, it had some kind of strong scent. I had to run the fan from the heater/AC for several hours to dissipate it. I really got a good night sleep because the bed was wonderful and I like the extra long pillows they had. The bathroom was kind of strange because it had a low ceiling and there was not a lot of room. But the shower was very invigorating.
Ann Sterling, 1-night trip

Very nice hotel in convenient location.
