The views and location were fantastic, truly a unique spot in NYC. Staff were generally friendly and competent. Limited food options on the island made late-night dining difficult, but daytime options were decent. The hotel had a great oasis vibe with amazing staff, although the airco issue was a recurring annoyance. The rooftop bar and skyline view were highlights, with good breakfast and convenient water facilities.

I was blown away by the killer views and groovy decor at the hotel. The rooftop bar and quiet garden area were perfect spots to unwind after a busy day. Overall, had a rad time and would totally recommend to my mates. Cheers! 🌆

The staff were super friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome right from the start. the room was beautifully decorated and had a stunning view of Manhattan's skyline, which was truly breathtaking. the bar/lounge area was a great spot to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring the city. the location was perfect, with easy access to all the major attractions in the city.
If I had to point out one thing that could be improved upon, it would be the limited breakfast options. While the food was good, having a bit more variety would have been nice.

Graduated New York offered stunning Manhattan views. Tram rides were unforgettable! The rooftop bar was an adult playground, but might not suit families. a unique retreat!

Improvements could be made in terms of staff friendliness during check-in and accessibility to transportation options like taxis or Ubers.

During my business trip to New York, my director selected Graduate and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city, with Citibike stations scattered across the island for easy access to rental bikes, allowing me to explore at my leisure. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, and the rooftop bar provided stunning views of the city. The staff at check-in was efficient and accommodating for a late checkout.
Service at the rooftop bar was poor and slow despite the small number of patrons.

The dining scene at Graduate was an epicurean journey filled with iced and frozen coffee delights. The bar exuded a chill vibe with killer drinks and panoramic views. the nearby culinary gems like Granny Annie's Bar & Kitchen and Piccolo Trattoria provided a feast for the taste buds.
The service received a cheeky critique—staff missed easy opportunities to shine. The absence of snacks for purchase and complimentary morning coffee left a slight bitter aftertaste.

Cool hotel! Loved the chilled vibe and rooftop bar with cool city views. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, a quick hop on the F train to Manhattan. Enjoyed the free tea and coffee, and the room had a killer view of the skyline. ?? Bit bummed about the breakfast, quite ordinary and not worth it, but everything else was top-notch!

The views of the Manhattan skyline from the spacious and beautifully decorated rooms on tranquil Roosevelt Island were a highlight. The comfortable beds, nice bathroom products, and proximity to the subway added to the appeal.

The room was super cozy with a big, comfy bed and a chill living area. The amazing city views from the bedroom were unforgettable! As a young traveler, I loved the laid-back vibe and the cool cityscape.
The bathroom had a deep soaking tub, but I would have preferred a regular shower.

We had a fantastic stay at Graduate! Our corner king suite on the 7th floor offered an amazing view of the river. the room was spacious, with a large bathroom and stylish decor. the location on Roosevelt Island provided a calmer atmosphere, away from the noise and heat of Manhattan. the bed was big and comfortable, and we loved the panoramic views from the rooftop bar. Getting to Manhattan was easy with the fun and inexpensive overhead tram. the continental breakfast was simple but delicious.
Nothing not to like! 😃

We stayed at this hotel during our tourist visit to New York City, as we wanted to explore the various attractions around Manhattan. The location was perfect, offering stunning views of the city and easy access to different parts of Manhattan via ferry. The staff at the front desk and breakfast room were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout our stay.

Clean rooms, convenient location with easy access to transportation. Friendly staff, some helpful with maintenance requests. Nice views, spacious accommodations. Limited restaurant menu, noisy rooftop bar, and issues with pricing fluctuations noted. A pleasant stay with minor improvements suggested.

the room was amazing, especially since I got an upgrade. the view of the city and the bridge was absolutely stunning, perfect for those. Everyone who saw my pictures and videos on Instagram couldn't believe how beautiful it was. the attention to detail was impeccable, and everything from the staff to the breakfast to the Panorama rooftop was just perfect. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back and recommend it to my friends. It's a peaceful location that still gives you the best views ever. Plus, getting around the city is easy with the nearby subway, taxi, or the spectaculous Tramway, and it's all very affordable. Thank you for a wonderful stay, guys!
For us, it was ideal. 💯

Convenient location near Manhattan, with easy access and stunning skyline views. Cozy and well-decorated rooms, perfect for working. Rooftop bar adds to the vibrant ambiance.

I had a wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel. The staff gave me a warm welcome and made me feel right at home. The room on the 13th floor had a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline, and it was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I also appreciated the free coffee and tea in the morning, as well as the free water on the fifth floor. The hotel's location on an island with everything else closed nearby was a unique and peaceful experience. It was also conveniently close to the tramway, making it easy to travel in and out of Manhattan and explore the surrounding areas. The garden area was a lovely spot to relax and unwind.
I highly recommend this hotel to families. The staff provided excellent service, and the location was perfect for a peaceful getaway with stunning views.

I recently stayed at a hotel that breathes memories. A perch for old tales and new reunions. Nestled in a hub of cultural delights, it whispered tales of a charming past. The space swirled with creativity—a canvas of shared nostalgia. My cozy corner held a view that spoke of dreams, with a river's gentle tale. Even the bangers and mash had a hint of home. My journey? A moment of silent laughs and unspoken stories. And let's not forget that Thanksgiving Burger!

This hotel is located on a peaceful island with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. The rooms are lovely and clean, with great views of the city. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is well-maintained. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere and there are plenty of seating areas in the lobby.
The hotel lacks in customer service, with some staff members lacking hospitality and not remembering guests even after a five-day stay.

The Graduate offers excellent location, stunning views, and a peaceful atmosphere. the hotel itself provides a unique stay in a bustling city.
AC noise can disturb sleep. No coffee machine for guests.

I chose this hotel for attending a conference, and I was impressed by the Eleanor Boardroom's setup with a pre-set boardroom table for 12 and the latest tech touches. The creative events and culinary teams did a fantastic job customizing a catering menu that perfectly suited our gathering. The staff was attentive and professional, ensuring a seamless experience for our meeting.
I wish there was 24-hour room service available as it would have been convenient for my work schedule.

I absolutely adored the charming and quirky decor throughout the hotel - it made me feel like I was in a cozy university town. The general areas, especially the rooftop with its breathtaking views, were perfect for sitting and enjoying the scenery. Additionally, the hotel's accessibility for senior people was fantastic, with easy access to transportation and a safe, walkable area.
I do wish the children of the staff could consider adding more handrails in the bathrooms to enhance safety for senior guests.

We explored the city and then came back to the coolest room with an awesome view of the river and Manhattan. Plus, the hotel had a Zoltar machine and themed bunk beds—totally brought out our inner children and made our stay extra fun!
Just wish there was a more happening evening scene for us young party-goers.

Our stay at Graduate New York was delightful, especially with our 19-month-old. The location was perfect for exploring nearby landmarks like Rockefeller Center and Central Park, enhancing our family bonding. The relaxation facilities, including the garden area and rooftop bar, added to our enjoyment. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in New York City.

Catch up with iconic childhood toys and games, complete with a real Zoltar machine and themed bunk beds. The adventure island is oft-overshadowed by iconic island neighbor, making it a great place for family fun with an exciting twist.
My children wanted a larger play area.

The location is amazing and the views are astonishing. Worth the high price tag.
Waiting forever for a pathetic breakfast and terrible service at the restaurant. Not exactly five-star quality.

The spacious living room features floor to ceiling views of the Queensboro Bridge. I felt like I was in a real-life postcard, with the iconic bridge stretching out in front of me. It was the perfect spot to unwind and take in the beauty of the city.
Understaffed at times.
