Charming nice hotel
Charming old hotel in the French quarter. Nicely redone bath and comfortable linens and such. Exceptionally clean. Bed was dipped a bit in the center but overall prettt comfortable. Service just ok. Well located place to stay close to everything but not in the middle of the highest noise areas.

Our room was immaculate. Wished we had a lovely marble bathroom at home such as the one we had in the deluxe room. Also loved there were robes we could use as well. Staff was always friendly and helpful. All the French Quarter sights were within walking distance. We had a wonderful stay.

The Bienville House was the perfect place to stay in New Orleans. My mother suggested staying here because she also stayed at this exact location when she was a teenager. I highly enjoyed getting to bring my mother back to a place where she got to re-experience her childhood. The staff were amazing and made checking in/checking out easy. Parking was a breeze as well, the valet takes care of moving your car and helps you unpack your stuff. I will definitely be recommending the Bienville to my friends and family in the future.

Great place but expensive
Business trip to attend a conference in New Orleans. The staff here are very friendly and informative. The rooms are clean and comfortable. My only reasons for not having this a 5-star is that I paid almost $400 per night and the breakfast offerings were only coffee. Doesn’t quite seem worth it!
