We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Happy Place Bed and Breakfast! From the moment we walked in, everything felt thoughtfully curated. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The plush towels and high-quality bath amenities (shampoos, conditioners, lotions, oils) were a nice touch. We especially loved the themed rooms, with fun details inspired by Thor and Nigel that added character and charm. It felt like staying in a cozy, personal retreat rather than just another hotel. The location is great—close to public transit and downtown attractions, making it super easy to explore New Orleans. Every little detail showed care and attention. Highly recommend this hidden gem!
New Orleans is a city full of charm, dating back to 1718, where every corner feels alive with history and culture. While Bourbon Street can get crowded and overwhelming, I’d recommend exploring the parallel streets—quieter, more relaxed, and just as authentic. If you're into live music, Frenchmen Street is the place to be, especially in the evening when the energy really comes alive. The food here is bold and flavorful—my favorite was the crispy fried fish served with rice and beans, spicy and satisfying. The hotel’s location is perfect: close enough to everything but far enough from the noise. Easy access by public transit, clean rooms, and a welcoming vibe made my stay unforgettable. Definitely coming back.
Staying at Ashton's Bed and Breakfast was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we stepped into the beautifully appointed hallway, we were greeted with warmth and thoughtfulness that made us feel truly welcome. Every detail had been considered—especially the daily breakfast prepared personally by chef Patrick, a culinary highlight that set the tone for each morning. The room itself was spacious and luxurious, with a bathroom so indulgent I could’ve stayed in there all day. But what really stood out was Patrick’s genuine passion for New Orleans—he shared insider tips on hidden gems, local eateries, and must-see spots that made our trip unforgettable. It wasn’t just a place to sleep; it felt like staying with friends who knew the city inside out. If you’re looking for authenticity, comfort, and a touch of magic in New Orleans, this is the perfect home away from home.
This property is absolutely fantastic—perfect location, stunning design, and felt incredibly safe throughout our stay. The gated entrance and private garage added a great sense of security. Communication with the team was quick and effortless, which made everything smooth from start to finish. The only small improvement I’d suggest is adding an extra bathroom on the ground floor since that’s where the four-person bedroom is located—having to climb two flights of stairs for a shower was a bit inconvenient. But honestly, that’s just a tiny detail in what was otherwise a flawless experience. The space is spacious, beautifully furnished, quiet, and very well-maintained. We loved every moment here and wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend!
If I could give HH Whitney House 10 stars, I absolutely would! Located on a quiet residential street with a charming landscaped median, this beautifully preserved 19th-century home feels like stepping into history. The front garden and spacious backyard are lush and inviting, centered around a stunningly curved pool that’s pure serenity. Inside, the vintage-inspired decor is elegant and comfortable—every detail thoughtfully considered. Owner Glenn goes above and beyond: stocked the room with everything you might need, from toiletries to a magnifying makeup mirror, ample seating, and perfect lighting. But what truly sets this B&B apart is Glenn’s genuine warmth and personal touch—he takes real interest in guest comfort and serves up a delicious, custom breakfast each morning that changes daily. From the Roman statues and ornate planters to the thick greenery framing the pool, every corner feels like a scene from a dream. Honestly, just for the peace and beauty of it, this place is worth a trip to New Orleans all by itself.
The property was spotless and perfectly located just steps away from a variety of great restaurants. As a family, we appreciated the spacious four-bedroom layout that comfortably accommodated everyone with plenty of room to relax. The home felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed—every detail made our stay enjoyable. Being close to dining options and downtown New Orleans made exploring the city effortless. We loved the convenience and comfort this place offered, and it’s definitely a top choice for future trips. Highly recommend!
The stay exceeded all expectations. The host went above and beyond to make us feel at home—everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, from cozy linens to essentials for daily comfort. The modern townhouse is beautifully designed, spotless, and perfectly located just minutes from the French Quarter. Walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and local vibes made it easy to explore without needing a car. It’s clear the owner truly cares about guest experience. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this gem to friends and family. A standout choice in New Orleans!
The security gate at check-in might look a bit intimidating, but once inside, you instantly feel safe and well taken care of. The room was spotlessly clean, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. It's a great little gem in the heart of New Orleans—perfect for travelers who value both comfort and security.
Arriving at the hotel, we were immediately disappointed by the unfriendly front desk staff. The room was directly facing the street, with windows so dirty that it was nearly impossible to see outside. Despite being advertised as a non-smoking property, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke—so intense that we checked out after just five minutes and paid extra for a new hotel. The location is far from downtown New Orleans, making it inconvenient for tourists. As a young couple, we found this stay extremely unsatisfying and not worth the price. It would be completely impractical for families too. Overall, a very disappointing experience with no redeeming qualities.
Staying at the 1896 O'Malley House was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. The Victorian charm is perfectly preserved—walking through the front door felt like stepping into a living history book. The staff, especially manager Sally, were incredibly warm and attentive, always ready to help with anything, from local tips to booking recommendations. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The location is unbeatable: just a short walk to Canal Street, where a $1 shuttle runs directly to the French Quarter in just 4–5 stops. The ride itself was scenic and relaxing, and once I got there, I was instantly captivated by the vibrant energy and beauty of the area. Every detail here—from the cozy rooms to the thoughtful touches—shows how much care goes into this place. I left feeling completely refreshed and inspired. I’d highly recommend this gem to any traveler looking for authenticity, comfort, and a truly memorable experience in New Orleans.
Staying at Nola Inn & Suites was a truly refreshing experience. The room was spotlessly clean, and having a microwave and refrigerator in the room made it super convenient for our stay. There were plenty of towels, and the air conditioning system worked quietly and efficiently—perfect for New Orleans’ humid weather. The ice machine was conveniently located nearby, which was a huge plus. Everything worked as expected: toilets, faucets, and the TV all functioned perfectly. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Compared to other mid-tier hotels we’ve stayed at, this one stands out for its cleanliness, comfort, and excellent value. It’s clear they care about guest satisfaction. We’d definitely recommend this place over other options we’ve tried before—especially if you’re looking for a quiet, reliable, and well-maintained hotel in New Orleans.
The room was absolutely lovely—cozy, clean, and well-appointed with a comfortable bed, microwave, coffee maker, and fridge. It felt like a home away from home. The only small improvement would be adding a chair or love seat for relaxing while watching TV instead of having to sit or lie on the bed. Location-wise, it’s perfect—just steps from the streetcar and surrounded by amazing restaurants. We loved every moment of our stay and will definitely return. A fantastic value and a truly welcoming spot in the heart of New Orleans.
