Right in French Quarter without the loud raucous crowd to keep you up at night. Also old world charm and access to sister property with Carousel Bar. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel, very clean and friendly staff, being on Decatur St it was noisy at night and had a squealing dog staying next to us, however the location of this property is perfect, was a little surprised at the $49 a night parking, guess I missed that fee somewhere, overall it was a good stay

First thing that started everything off bad was the fact that there were additional fees that were not listed at the time of booking. They wanted $75 per night for ''incedentials". I feel like any and all fees should be listed at time of booking so that guest can be properly prepared for their stay. Then the front desk staff was rude and stated that we could cancel the reservation and when i stated that wouldn't suffice she just walked away in the middle of me talking. It wasn't until I said something about her walking away that she wanted to get an attitude and say that she was going to get the manager to help and that was the reason she walked away but that was not stated before she walked away. The manager was helpful and polite and was able to waive the fee and stated we would only be charged after our stay if damages were found. Once we got up to our room we noticed that the AC did not work. When we informed the manager they stated they were going to call the engineer on call and gave us a box fan to use until he was supposed to arrive. The engineer never came. The next morning we asked if we could please be switched the manager stated that she had to call the engineer and he would have to attempt to fix it first before changing us. We left for a few hours when we got back the AC still did not work and we were finally changed to a new room. The new room the AC worked but we had no towels. Needless to say I would NOT recommend this hotel!

A cute budget hotel, the staff was very nice and accommodating. My only complaint is some of the amenities advertised, the gym for example, aren’t actually located on the property and are at their sister hotel about a block away which is a bit misleading. All in all though a good choice if you want to be right in the French quarter on a budget.

We originally booked this hotel when we arrived it looked a little bit dirty but i overlooked it the young lady that was working behind the desk was wonderful when we got to our room and opened the door it just smelled like mold and mildew it was so bad i went back to the front desk to let the lady no what was going on she tried her best to help with showing us other rooms but the other rooms smelled the same way it was just awful the room that i reserved didn't look nothing like i was giving i was told by the man that worked there they shampoo the carpets every time someone leaves he was very rude to me i mean come on would you want to stay in something that smells like mold and mildew and looks dirty absolutely not and to mention when i booked the room it stated yall had a complementary breakfast only to find out it is just tea and coffee me left and started walking around to find another hotel and thank the good Lord we did and it didn't disappoint us.I was so upset because and just ready to go back home you guys really should be ashamed at your hotel and again the young lady behind the desk helping us was wonderful that was the only thing good about the hotel needles to say of course me and my family will never come back there and if you guys do shampoo the carpets every time someone leaves you need to put the industrial fans in there and leave the door open to air out people our spending they hard earned money to be comfortable

Really liked the historic aesthetics of the building. Nice room . Only problem was the room sounds as if I was sleeping in an engine room. Not sure if it was the air unit or what but it had an impact on my sleep for sure. Beware of the $75 a day fee for incidentals and $50 for parking. Otherwise, all was enjoyable. Stayed in the superior room for a week

Stayed at the Ritz Carton for our New Orleans stay, but had to book a different hotel for our final two nights. Our stay at Bienville House was amazing. If I had it to do over, I would stay at Bienville House rather than the Ritz. The room was so sweet and had a perfect private balcony. The location is close to all things and the staff were very kind.
