This was such a disappointment. My room was a shoebox with a large shower. The street noise was loud and the room was too hot. The windows didn't open and the staff, with the exception of Katia, couldn't be bothered to help in anyway. I paid for two nights, but only stayed one. The bar and restuarant were really nice though.

The receptionists Kayla (i hope i got her name right) she was the best.... she went out her way to make sure i was accommodated... room is small but workable... and yes no fridge or microwave but fill up the ice bucket and put drinks in there to keep cool.. as far as reheating food all you have to do is go downstairs to the desk and ask... i will be back soon

My partner and I had a great time spending the nights here. The staff is very welcoming. Stopped by at the Ash-Bar and got a ham and cheese croissant. That was delicious, I needed that. Thank you :-) Would stay at this hotel again if we were around.

Loved my stay here!

The room was nice and cozy! O loved that I was able to control my temperature in my own room. The vibe and aesthetic of the hotel is fun and eclectic. Loved their drink menu at the Ash Bar and enjoyed the food at their venue called Swann House.

Very clean room

Worst first, everyplace was dark there including the rooms and bathrooms making it hard to get ready, no coffee maker, no little fridge and no iron. Now good, everyone was nice, food was good, room and bathroom were very clean and king sized bed was extra comfortable

Absolutely love The Ulysses Hotel. This was my second time staying here and this time was a lot better than the first. I came for a weekend staycation, alone and this is the perfect place to find peace and be able to zen. Everything was perfect. If there was anything that I would change, it would be either no longer calling the Ash Bar a restaurant or and more food options to the menu. Otherwise, it was perfection.

This is a cool and unusual hotel. If you have mobility issues...maybe this is not the hotel for you as the entrance steps are steep and there is a set outside and another inside to get to the front desk. This hotel is dark and moody and medieval in decor. It might not be for everyone but it was so quirky and different that we loved it. Our room had a canopy bed and we felt like princess and queen! The bed matress and covererings were extrememly comfortable and my daughter and I got a great night sleep. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was tiled in a bold pattern - all very different than the usual decor you find in hotels! The area is completely walkable and there are several really good independent restaurants (no chains except a Starbucks that I saw). The historic monuments are right near the free museum,the Walter, and we enjoyed walking the streets and seeing the beautiful churches and buidlings along the way. The only slightly dissappointing thing would be that the restaurant onsite did not have breakfast until 9 a.m. for cooked breakfast although they did have pastries and coffee for purchase when we checked it out around 8 a.m. This was hard for my gluten free daughter so we left and found a great breakfast at the Dashery at the Rival hotel - a short walk away. This hotel is a quick Uber/Taxi away from the train station and also the Inner Harbor area. It is also about 15 min drive from the college area of Loyola, JohnsHopkins and Notre Dame.

It was lovely and location is great. Regarding staff/service, it was a hit and miss. Most were lovely but some were dismissive and condescending. I found that quiet surprising since most hotels have excellent staff.
