Away from bustle of Manhattan
Convenient for parents visiting family that lives on Roosevelt Island. The red bus is GREAT for busing around Roosevelt island. Hotel is convenient to the Tram.

NYC’s best kept secret
The Graduate Hotel was perfect for our needs. It’s close to all of NYC’s attractions and ideally located on quiet Roosevelt Island.

Wonderful hotel experience—to be repeated!
Delightful location 4 min walk from the Roosevelt island Tram. Pleasant service, clever, attractive New York Art Deco decor, comfortably-sized room, great bed and bathroom, well ventilated with amazing view of the city across the river. Will definitely return!

Not bad
The hotel was okay, and being on the island made it better. Some front desk staff appeared unapproachable.

Great choice for staying near Manhattan
The room and common areas were spotless. The staff were friendly and made the best of an unexpected situation with internet downtime.

Just enough removed from the city core that you feel like you can breath, but completely adjacent to all Manhatten has to offer. Great food, walking trails, helpful staff. Cool place, would stay here again!

Fantastic view
Overall very good hotel, just a few stations out of the downtown, it’s more quiet and safe in this little island. The view with the NY signature bridge is fantastic, have a morning jog around the hotel just made our trip perfect !!

Great property. The bed is comfortable, but if you’re planning to go in the evening, make plans because the elevator gets busy with the rooftop which gets really annoying and the valley parking at $70 a night and there’s nowhere else to park.
