New Orleans bed & breakfasts

Pros: The location was perfect for us, it was within walking distance to the French Quarter, Frenchman St (where the locals hang out) and to the St Roch Market (fantastic food truck style vendors). The staff was very friendly, as were the other guests.

Cons: The neighborhood looks kinda unsafe, but after talking with people, we found it to be not dangerous at all. We walked everywhere we went with no trouble.

Pros: Very nice staff! Beautiful and stylish mansion! Quite location next to the market with few different bars inside (oyster bar, Asian food, creole/Cajun good etc).

Cons: It’s quite far away from downtown area. Needed a taxi to go there and come back...

Pros: We loved our stay at Sweet Olive. So much I kept calling it "home"! This place was full of southern charm, hospitality and character. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely return to Sweet Olive!

Cons: No complaints!

Pros: Great staff and wonderful property. A little bit outside of French quarter, but no more than a 10 minute walk. Would fully recommend to anyone going to New Orleans.

Pros: The excellent welcome and service by Jessica. The breakfast. Quiet, historic house. The confidence in guests as everything is accessible and available.

Cons: Room had no view. Noisy bathroom door.

Pros: Jessica's recommendations, breakfast, the location and the house itself... all incredible!

Cons: Only the shower...either too hot or too cold! But not a big deal!

Pros: Jessica and the team were outstanding. Delicious breakfasts, great advice and most importantly, great company!!!

Cons: Having to leave!

Pros: The house was huge and charming. the staff was so amazing that we even went to eat at the establishment one of them bartends at! The rooms had 16-foot ceilings. the hallways were 5 feet wide. the library was heavenly. We also discovered a wonderful new neighborhood!!

Cons: We didn't like that we had to leave.

Pros: Nightmare, they kept us waiting for 1;30h outside with a baby at 9pm because they didn't have our keys ready, it took 1h to have someone answering our call as none was at reception. useless management, unresponsive, didn't gave us the room we booked and despite the awful first night, still not responsive the second night: none from management came to speak or explained what happened. We were unable at 9;15 in the morning, 1:15 pm or afternoon to find anyone in reception

Cons: The room was small, the floor in the bathroom had broken marbles moving around that our kid will pick up and try to put in his mouth. We didn't have the crib we requested, the fan wasn't working. The aircon was extremely loud and the bathroom. The tap for the sink was rotten, the towels so used you could see through

Pros: Staying at a historical home was amazing, and sitting on the balcony looking over Esplanade Ave. was wonderful. And the breakfast was delicious and plentiful with some of the best grits around.

Cons: Some black out curtains would have been nice for the room we were in. The city street lights were very bright at night.

Pros: We had a suite with 2 bedrooms so my adult daughter had privacy. Breakfast was great and Sharon was terrific. She seemed to be the only one who helped us with anything. It Is in a good location right outside the French Quarter and there was a bus outside that connected with the trolley system.

Cons: We always seemed to have to ask for what we needed, some of which is standard and should have been there before we arrived. There was only one roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and we had to ask for more. We had a kitchen with minimal plates and utensils. There were 3 of us and we had one drinking glass. We were there right before Hurricane Barry. On the Wednesday, when it was raining, the bathroom ceiling started to leak. Sharon offered us another room, but it didn’t meet our needs. Dave, the property owner was there. He knew we decided to leave a day early and I asked about a refund. He said speak to Cathy. Cathy wasn’t there yet because New Orleans streets were flooded. I have called 3 times. The first time was Wednesday afternoon after we left. Spoke to Cathy who finally showed up to work. She said she would speak to Dave and call me back. No call back. I called back after the Weekend of the storm. Spoke to Cathy again. I inquired about everyone’s safety and then again asked about a refund. She said she would Text Dave and call me back. Again, no call back. I Called back again 2 days later. Left a message for Dave. I have yet to get an answer. Honestly, they don’t seem to care that we were put out at all. Management is terrible. Maybe they need the money.

Pros: This place has a great historic feel. The house is beautiful and the staff were friendly. We didn't eat breakfast, but it looked and smelled delicious. The location is an easy uber ride from the French Quarter and we walked home one night. The staff put roses in the room, with a personal note from me, for my wife, which was a very nice option.

Cons: We were a bit disappointed that the house hasn't been better maintained. For such a beautiful and historic building, I would have expected the cracks in the plaster and etc to be repaired, as needed. For a couple hundred dollars and a day or two of work, the room we stayed in could be like new again, but as it is, it just seems run down and not cared-for. It wasn't dirty enough to be uncomfortable, but almost. We just felt the house deserved more. I won't say we wouldn't stay here again, but we would probably do a bit more looking around first.

Pros: Beautiful old houses - 2 of them - check in was very easy. Liked the historical connection to Edgar Degas. The breakfast was very good with very nice orange juice.

Cons: We had a third floor room - very far to lug suitcases with no elevator. The room had no windows and the temperature of the room was very hot right under the roof - essentially the attic of the house. The air conditioning unit wasn’t working as it should and was very noisy. The staff provided us with a fan (thank you). The WiFi signal of the house didn’t reach the third floor - so the only access for WiFi for third floor guests was the first floor lounge - not great for planning the next day’s activities while in bed before sleep. And the price point on this room was expensive in the range of bed & breakfast properties. 30 minute walk to the French Quarter.

Pros: Located in a perfect place to visit many of the city's attractions...if you want an historic, comfortable, quiet stay the Degas House is for you. The breakfast was incredible...I am already missing the one of a kind experience.

Pros: -Friendly staff -Delicious breakfast -Take a trip back in time. Fascinating history involving the house, especially if you enjoy art. Take the tour!!!

Pros: Location is great! Just off of St Charles Ave. with easy access to the Streetcar. Very affordable for New Orleans. I like staying in hotels/B&B's that have some ambiance/history vs. a modern high rise. I would definitely stay here again. It's cute and serves all the basic needs. For the price it met my expectations well.

Cons: The buildings and courtyard could use some general maintenance. Just because things are old doesn't mean they can't be upkept well. For example, there were pieces of boards and gutters lying off to the side in the courtyard. Looked like they had replaced a portion of gutter and not cleaned up the area afterward. No big deal, but it looked like it had been there for a while and was there throughout our stay. Something simple like just throwing away some debris and tidying up a bit can really make an impact. What do you want to look at while enjoying a morning coffee? A pile of boards and discards or a charming courtyard that is something New Orleans is known for?

Pros: I loved the ambiance at this B&B, it was just what we were looking for! The staff is very friendly and rooms are in great shape for being over 200 years old. They are 1 block from a streetcar stop that takes you through the city and near great restaurants

Cons: Very little negative, I would like the breakfast to be just a bit earlier to get an earlier start to the day.

Pros: Short notice availability and very good price.... cost of room doubled shortly after booking. Good parking facilities, great location. Staff very friendly, cookies in lobby!

Cons: Valet parking made it hard to say no, would result in additional $30/day fee

Pros: THE B&B LOCATION, PRICING, SAFETY/QUIET, EASY ACCESS TO DOWN TOWN, AND ONLY TO 2-3 BLOCKS FROM INTERSTATE 10, ALL OUTSTANDING. THE STAFF TREATED ME LIKE FAMILY. A 5 STAR FACILITY. THE BEST IN THE CITY. WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Convenient location, quiet, great courtyard area, very helpful staff

Cons: Bed was a bit hard

Pros: Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Room was big, clean, and comfortable. The location was great for catching transit easily and walking at night really wasn’t an issue.

Cons: Bathroom was a little small and the door didn’t fully shut.

Pros: atmosphere was lovely. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Cons: some shabbiness - burnt out lightbulbs, etc.

Pros: Not very much they did arrange for flower and cake for my ladies birthday

Cons: The beds had springs you could feel very old furniture tv was smaller then my phone very musty floors uneven. But worse still the breakfast was a joke less than continental but eggs only hot item was in a bowl and over cooked made be sick. Had to leave and buy breakfast.. I would never suggest this place for anyone differently over priced for what you receive

Pros: Location is great. Close enough to Bourbon and Magazine streets but far enough that it is away from the craziness of it all. Restaurants in the area are great.

Cons: Rooms could use updating but were sufficient for stay. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was okay but nothing impressive.

Pros: Beautiful Gallery House Colonial Style in the peaceful Garden District. Super kind staff member, specially the old men running the business. Easy check in/out. Quiet Patio and very nice atmosphere. Breakfast included. Good tips and advices from the staff. streetcar stops very close and takes you to Canal St. at the beginning of Bourbon St.

Cons: May need some re-furbishing on the furniture in the rooms and reception hall, of course respecting the house colonial style. Bed mattress not super comfortable, but ok for a couple of nights.

Pros: We could check in earlier and the room was fantastic!

Cons: Everything was fine.

Pros: We learned when we arrived that the Guesthouse no longer serves breakfast. When we requested a credit rather than a voucher to use at the on-site restaurant, that was provided immediately. The communication was good even though there was no staff person at the property. The location is great - close to Frenchmen Street and French Quarter, but quiet. Several nice coffee/breakfasts places close by. Affordable.

Cons: Rooms were smaller than expected and there was no place to sit other than on the bed (no chair in our room; I'm not sure about our daughter's room). Rooms were down the hall from each other, but not next to each other. I don't know where some of the spaces in the pictures are located - we never saw them.

Pros: An amazingly great accommodation 20 min walk to good Bourbon street and 10 min from Frenshman street. The hotel is in a quiet area with typical New Orleans settlement. Here you live in a local way! I got good help from the restaurant next door, both for key delivery and tips and advice. The restaurant is also excellent.

Cons: nothing

Pros: We enjoyed how close the bed and breakfast was to the French Quarter. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

Cons: We were supposed to check in at 3 pm on Monday the 1st (of February). The innkeeper texted us to let us know the BnB was not open on Mondays. If the room was clean before 3 pm we would be allowed to check in. We arrived to the BnB and found our room at 11 am hadn't been cleaned from the person before. So we decided we would just wander and come back at 3 pm. We did so and when we returned we found the room in the same condition. At this point I'm tired and frustrated. We call the innkeeper and he tells us there is staff at the property that should be taking care of it. After that they quickly cleaned our room and we were allowed in around 415 pm. This was one pitfall. I understand if you are closed on Mondays, but what I don't understand is why you don't have the staff to help run the place. In our price we were offered a continental breakfast... But the chef was in Houston and we did not get the continental breakfast the next day. We got a knock on our door at 8 pm to give us our breakfast. This included a yogurt, Apple, granola bar, croissant, and water. I'm in no way upset with any of the staff. I'm just a little frustrated that all of this couldn't have been told to us prior to our arrival so that if we wanted to find another hotel we could have. Value overall due to it being close to the French quarter was good. Value for the service provided, don't think so. I think I'll be staying somewhere different next time.

Pros: Location, ambiance, room size

Cons: Bed was uncomfortable Would have slept on hideabed if I had known that the sofa opened. Sheets were clean but needed replacing.

Pros: The neighborhood feel is very nice and it's above an excellent restaurant: The Silk Road.

Pros: Excellent stay cosy comfortable beds staff great

Pros: It was quiet and well maintained... Off the beaten path but accessible to the quarter.

Pros: Love the character and locations. The price was great as well!

Cons: I was slightly disappointed in the room we were given. Room #6 was a little different that the rest. Other than that, the staff was very friendly, place very clean, and staff knowledgeable and inviting. The house was quiet and we definitely recommend it!

Pros: Loved everything about our stay. Staff goes above & beyond!!

Pros: Beautiful location in the middle of New Orleans' Garden District. Gorgeous old building with incredible interior (you live in the kind of building that others pay to visit). The breakfast was outstanding (in a beautiful dining room). Tram stop nearby.

Pros: They (customer service) called and told me my husband left his i.d. They told me “we will see if we can mail the i.d. We are very busy” So you all have my money for stay and I feel like my whole stay I was treated less than, NEVER had this issue and I have visited New Orleans plenty of times working in the media. Customer service said I can not speak to owners because they are out town, now I’m sure the owner has to return at some point and I would like to speak them as soon as possible. You all don’t have to worry about me coming back to stay there, I don’t feel like I was welcomed in the first place. And I am will awaiting a call and my husbands id to be mailed.

Cons: Hello, I wanted to email you and talk about the event on it last night while checking in. I was late getting here so I did not arrive until 8:40 PM. Upon arriving I was told by customer service that there was a $25 fee because they had already left for the day at 7 PM. Customer service arrive to let us in at 9 PM. At 9:15 the lights went out. It was a 5 Hour Drive to get here to New Orleans to come and enjoy ourselves but first I had some work that needed to be done and I also need to plug up my cell phone and laptop.Customer service called about four different times to check and see if the lights had cut back on and then informed me that the the wall AC would have to be shut off. The wall AC was already on in the room upon entrance we did not cut the wall AC on in the room. When we were called the 3rd time I did ask If we could have our $25 back for being late since we were having some difficulties getting into the room that were no cause of our own.Customer Service told me that they would check into it but that is not something that they normally do.And that is understandable but normally We don’t have to wait 30 minutes for electricity in our room. Also it is very warm in that room and I would like to call somebody right now to inform them of that but it is pretty late.So due to the electricity situation and And being under the assumption that we would be in a nice cool place to relax and things not quite working out that way I would like to know if I can at least have that $25 back as a courtesy. I will be awaiting a response on tomorrow morning from someone thank you. I just left the property and was told I would be refunded for the 25.00 fee I was charged for my inconvenience. When we arrived last night I asked where to park and customer service told me to park in a place where you are unable to park. I just spoke with front desk and they said I should not have parked there.... the point is the customer service was not up to par.

Pros: The property was beautiful, and the new construction will add a lot to enhance the experience. We enjoyed the David Bradford suite, and the tour. Every where we went we learned a little more about the history of the area.

Cons: 2 things. We were never advised of the construction taking place on the property, and the workers started at 7:30 AM. Also, the property is quite close to the main road and the traffic sounds were quite loud.

Pros: There was no food available

Cons: The room was warm all the time and there was no thermostat to cool it down. Also, there was no hot water in the shower

Pros: Location and lovely main floor.

Cons: Wound up in room out of main house back behind under mansion. Our Toilet was clogged at check in we reported it before dinner and never fixed. We left next day. No hot water after early am shower. Very poor reception on old smaller fat screen TV.

Pros: We spend the first night outside because Boone was there to welcome us and open the door for us. We had the opportunity of a late arrival because of the place from France and when we arrived no one show to the gate. We try to have a pay back from the establishment but it does et seem to happen.

Cons: We had to sleep outside.

Pros: Beautiful hotel in gorgeous neighborhood with great restaurants like Turkey and Wolf in walking distance. Convenient to Street Cars and great shops in Magazine Street.

Cons: Mattress definitely needs to be replaced. Their website indicated breakfast was included but staff indicated that they hadn’t done that since last year! They do provide coffee and powdered milk. There are great places to get breakfast in walking distance like the Whistle Stop so no worries.
