New Orleans Bed & Breakfasts

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: They were so helpful with directions and great local places to go. Breakfast was delicious.

Cons: The shower water was a bit too cool for me. Dont need hot, just a bit warmer.

Pros: We loved every aspect of this wonderful B&B. Our suite was spacious and comfortable, and opened up to a lovely patio shared with a few other guests. Lola was a fabulous chef and made lovely breakfasts every morning. The family style meal was very conducive to visiting with other guests, and sharing of the previous day's NOLA experiences. Lola also was very knowledgeable about restaurants, museums, jazz venues, transportation around the city, and other points of interest so that we experienced the best of the best during our 3 day stay! My dear friends and I would highly recommend Auld Sweet Olive to those interested in a quietly elegant B&B near the heart of this amazing city!

Cons: There are no negatives about this lovely B&B.

Pros: Lola and Vincent were thoughtful and engaging hosts! Every recommendation they gave was spot on. Lola had an answer or solution to every question we encountered! The Sweet Olive room had the most perfect bedroom for a romantic getaway with a quiet private entry to our separate room from the gated courtyard. Breakfast at the B&B was delicious and plentiful! If you are looking for a very relaxed, comfortable and convenient location, you have got to try this place! 15 min walk from Frenchmen street and only 5 min walk to over a dozen other locally fabulous restaurants and bars.

Pros: Hosts are insanely helpful and the place is too cute for words. We will absolutely be back!

Cons: If you’re planning on watching tv during your trip to one of the greatest cities on earth, well, you might be disappointed because there aren’t TVs (but you would deserve it if that’s an issue for you

Pros: Lola was outstanding. Went out of their way to help us. The breakfast was terrific. The room was perfect.

Cons: We only were there four days! I am not fond of parking on street but it really wasn't a problem.

Pros: Charming buiding-home from home. Sophi and Cindi were so friendly, helpful and informative. Breakfast fantastic.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Quaint and well placed, lovely decor.

Cons: Showers really small.

Pros: The hosts Lola and Vincent were exceptional couldn’t do enough. There local knowledge was first class

Cons: The shower cubicle door needs some upgrading

Pros: The location was absolutely fantastic, and our host Lola had a wealth of knowledge and local expertise which made our trip so much better! Lola in general is a fantastic human being and really made us feel welcome and part of the house. It’s a beautiful, old house that was very comfortable and homey.

Pros: Great location, good breakfast, very clean. Because it’s an old house , unfortunately you can hear all movement around the property, making it hard to sleep in.

Pros: Location, style, cleanliness, friendly staff.

Cons: No, everything was great!

Pros: Everything was great. Very friendly staff, walking distance everywhere. Perfect!

Pros: Location, staff, rooms

Cons: Pool is odd. Too deep for the size.

Pros: Close to French quarter and frenchmans

Cons: Billed after checkout for another large charge that after two emails still has not been explained.

Pros: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful

Cons: The bath tub was extremely tall it was hard to get in and out especially for an older individual

Pros: The staff at Melrose Mansion is AMAZING!!!!!! Everyone was friendly and helpful. They gave excellent suggestions on places to eat, sights to see, things to do, ways to get around, etc etc etc. And also informed us about things to avoid during our stay which is very important when you don't know the area and can easily get stuck somewhere you don't want to be. We had a late flight and they graciously allowed us to leave our bags during the day so we could take advantage of the extra time we had in town - they even let us hang out on the grounds while we waited till it was time to take off for the airport. Great location right in the French Quarter! Will definitely stay there on a return visit!!

Pros: Everything

Cons: It was all good

Pros: The property itself is gorgeous. Stately and southern with a picturesque pool one a tree lined block on the outskirts of the French Quarter.

Cons: Lacking attention to detail: half of the lights in my room didn’t work. The jacuzzi tub was so high that it was a hazard to get in and out of (and I’m a yogi in my 30’s!), there wasn’t an alarm clock or speaker for music (I know, I’m spoiled) and while the main room is incredible it’s just got show- the breakfast is served in the windowless board room, so you don’t get to enjoy the ambiance of the main house very much. Also, the fitness area is small and the elliptical machine must be 15 years old or more.

Pros: Good location, nice fitness center, comfy beds

Pros: The pool was fantastic .. large and deep and open late .. I hate when properties close the pool at like sundown because they are too lazy to make sure guests are being safe or whatever the reasons for this . A pretty decent breakfast and a perfect location if you want to be close to the French quarter and also the Marginy and the Treme.

Pros: It’s a great place and just walking distance to the French quarter and bourbon street. Super friendly staff, free breakfast, cute cats. Would definitely stay here again.

Pros: This place is so great! I love a bed and breakfast that has a little historical touch to it. This place is so quaint and cute, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay at near the French Quarter! The guest house provides delicious breakfast, wonderful staff, security, and great location. We were about 3-5 minutes away from the French Quarter (walking distance) and it was so convenient! We only stayed a night as we made a quick pit stop before we went to our other vacation, but I am definitely coming back here for a longer stay! This place provides such a great homey feeling and the price is unbeatable! Definitely recommend 8/10!!

Cons: In all honestly, the only negative aspect would be the comfort of the beds as their not the best, but it wasn’t terrible. I’m just being nit picky at this point.

Pros: Everything but the paid parking.

Cons: Nothing but the paid parking.

Pros: Such a great deal, location, breakfast, etc for so cheap.

Pros: Location Comfortable large room

Pros: The location was great, just across the street to the old quarter. All the receptionists we met were nice and very helpful. Breakfast for simple but good

Cons: Weird smell we had to go across to go to our room in the inner courtyard. The room was quite dark.

Pros: I liked location it’s so close to the Bourbon street and to the Jackson square, you can leave your car at the parking lot and you can walk everywhere.

Pros: Bed was large and comfortable. Breakfast was good and had lots of Options.

Cons: Our room Was quite noisy due to its close location to the communal areas.

Pros: Location, friendly, nice breakfast.

Pros: We went for a girls trip, location was great less than 3min to Bourbon St. ,and the room was not bad for 2 very comfortable. Loved it so much.

Cons: Well how can I say this, it was 4 in the morning and me and my friend lost are key so we had to call the staff and she was very rude cause she had to give us the key, which I kinda of understand cause it was very late.

Pros: Hotel had true New Orleans charm! Location was perfect within walking distance of the French market but not in the party zone. Staff was awesome super helpful in what to see and how to get there.

Cons: Room was small but that wasn't really a bad thing seeing all we did was sleep there.

Pros: The location. We went for Mardi Gras and it is about 4 blocks away from bourbon street.

Cons: the room was small, no safe, no radio/alarm clock. Also the floor is brick (similar to the outside) so we could not walk around inside without shoes on.

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: The location, the house, the staff, the breakfast, pretty much the whole experience

Cons: The tub and toilet needed to be clean a bit more

Pros: The staff was fantastic! Breakfast was delicious and all the staff were friendly, funny, and full of joy. I am a morning person, so I appreciate interactions in the mornings.

Cons: We were on the 3rd floor, so it was pretty hot. The HVAC unit did a satisfactory job of keep us cool. The WiFi was dreadful on the 3rd floor. Even to pull up email took a few minutes. The mattress was average.

Pros: Nice historic home, breakfast was good, location great, staff nice.

Cons: Weather! :)

Pros: Nice quaint and quiet bed and breakfast. Friendly staff and great included breakfast!

Pros: When we checked in there was a wedding party pouring out of the place! True New Orleans fashion, the band playing, napkins flying, amazing! Our rooms were classic, clean, had wonderful views and did not disappoint! The free breakfast was made to order and coffee, tea, mimosa, or bloody mary was also an option! Don't miss a chance to stay here for the art - truly the centerpiece of the entire place - or places since the property has 2 houses. We kept our car here and Ubered around NO. Loved Degas House, Loved the charming staff too!!

Cons: A silly thing. Wi-Fi reception. But we weren't there for that, so it wasn't a huge deal.

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: The location is great - the Esplanade is one of the most beautiful areas of New Orleans - and the house is within walking distance of the French Quarter. The hotel is very atmospheric because of the associations with Degas - I enjoyed the free tour.

Cons: The hotel needs a fire exit from the top floor. The breakfast was very good on weekends - not as fresh during the week.

Pros: Beautifully maintained historic home with lots of history. Denise, kitchen, was a delight to talk with and fabulous breakfast. Carmen was extremely accomodating to put us on lower floor for my limited mobility. Thanks

Cons: Nothing that could be changed,long stairways, but this is expected in historical home

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

Pros: We stayed in the deluxe room and it was awesome. Clean, cozy, and well located.

Pros: The place is located not far away from the centre. The location seemed safe but we were not walking around the night. Overall it was good value for money however there were a few things that disappointed us. Despite what booking.com says about parking, you can leave your car outside on a street for free. Rooms were clean and we felt that we are in someone’s house more than hotel which we liked.

Cons: Firstly the photos on the reservation suggested that we will get a room with balcony and on way higher standard that we actually got. Later we found out all their room photos are pretty much the same so you might get a random room. You go for breakfast to a building next door and there is not much you can choose from but then again it was free. We were really concerned about the security - in general New Orleans can be quite notorious and the door to the building were always unlocked as the lock with passcode was broken. Our room was accessed via code as well which concerned us as we did not know when it was last changed. Place was supposed to have a laundromat but we were told it is broken.

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

Cons: Everything was fine.

Pros: We all felt like family there. The food was delicious ! It was super comfy.

Pros: Location and balcony rooms

Cons: Sqeeky bed

Pros: fantastic flat,great facilities above an excellent bar restaurant. on site staff great really close to the actuon.

Cons: no one to welcome on arri al, three couples including us arrived could not gain access. other couple leant me the phone to contact man on the other end was more interested in processing card payment if a future customer rather than get me access kept saying he had sent stuff to me failed to listen. eventually housekeeper arrived and sorted things a poor start but a beautiful place with lots of character did find a rather large dead cocktoach type beatle outside the room door about 4 inches long. still a brilliant place

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: Great location felt safe. Everything was clean and people were amazing

Cons: Only thing I could honestly say needs a bit larger garbage can in room

Pros: Place is very nice, clean and spacious, in a great district of Marigny. There's a tasty breakfast, nice restaurant right downstairs and plenty of things to see and do right behind the corner. We loved our stay at this place!

Cons: Nothing, it was perfect.

Pros: Although this was not our first stay. we continue to love the location and experience during our time there.

Pros: Great Location in Marigney. Breakfast and snacks available all day. Clean double room and bathroom, albeit normal 'home sized' bedroom, not large hotel suite style. The staff were very helpful

Cons: Due to staff calling in sick, our room was not made up on one of the days of our stay, however, when the manager was told, she quickly sorted things out which was great

Pros: Beautiful place...

Cons: My bed did not have a top sheet...took a small one from the small bed to replace it. .

Pros: Loved being in the quiet and pretty Garden District. Magnolia Mansion was over-the-top southern style living.

Cons: Minor cleanliness issues - baseboards in bathroom were dusty. Floor around sink pedestal not clean.

Pros: The house was pretty our room was ok. But there was work that is needed .

Cons: The owner , Rude AS HELL There was a power outage all we as guess wanted to know why. This mad threatened to throw one of other female guess out and call the police for asking question on when he thought it would on . I will not be staying there again.

Pros: The shower was nice and the bed was comfortable. They also let us check in early. The location was convenient to the train station.

Cons: The room was located on the bottom floor. There was only one window, and it did not have a view of the courtyard and did not let much light in. We also ran out of hot water while taking a normal shower. There was no clock in the room. There were no end tables close to the bed. The receptionist was not friendly and scolded us for parking in the courtyard rather than simply asking us to move our car. The assistant who showed us our room was very nice and helpful.

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

Pros: Bed was very comfortable - brilliant sleep! Toiletries good, fair quality towels. Tram stop very close by so great for getting central. The rooms in the main building had the advantage of opening out onto beautiful reception areas.

Cons: Kitchen rubbish had been left under the sink - we informed housekeeping about this and they rectified it immediately although the bin never resurfaced during our 3-night stay. Hot water was erratic. We were in a 'Courtyard' room - the title being more grand than the reality. Goodness knows how far the hot water had to travel but we must have wasted gallons trying to get a shower. Parking on the street is available but on our last morning some idiot parked too close and made it difficult for us to drive away. I did leave him a note on his battered vehicle! Given the size of the external features of the property I think the owner is selfish in not providing parking permits for his guests. We were told at check in that the breakfast (for which we had paid upfront) had been withdrawn. Thanks a bunch for that.

Pros: The welcoming

Cons: The AC could attend individual rooms

Pros: Beautiful house

Cons: Not a real Bed and Breakfast. Served only coffee. Street parking only. There was a parking area on the property but not allowed. Deteriorated shower. No staff available to help making reservations.

Pros: Location and interior/ decoration

Cons: a lot ! Upon arrival we were told there was no breakfast and booking.com was given the blame for not having corrected this yet. The bed mattresses were by far too soft and it felt as if the feet were higher up then the head. Bathrooms were outdated and very dirty On every question, new owners were blamed on the new concept. It seems they wanted to change from b&b to boutique hotel which was given as a reason not to have breakfast. In our view a wrong argument as we nearly always stay in boutique hotels which often have the best breakfast. Outdoor lacks a lot of maintenance No staff after 7pm, a late check-in cost extra money (up to $50), no nightwatch Room thermostat was on the corridor so unable to control own room temperature (either too warm or too cold)

Pros: The ambiance was beautiful. Location was perfect....not too close to the hustle and bustle of the French quarter but close enough to the trolly which was about a fifteen minute ride

Cons: Booked based on complimentary breakfast but they did not offer anymore. Under new management.

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: It was a quiet and safe place. The only woman on staff was very nice. The beds were comfortable.

Cons: When we booked the price included continental breakfast. That was taken away. The coffee offered was never fresh. It was very black and bitter. Our bathroom was not very clean and the shower pipes were very difficult to operate to achieve a steady warm shower. It was either scalding or semi warm. We could only have 1 room key, but were let in when we rang the buzzer.
