Staff were great. Parking reasonable $. Room was clean. Unfortunately , the strong scent on all the linens, while pleasent, was overwhelming and gave us headaches and aggravated our allergies. I also felt that the property needs more repair. Holes in the closet wall creeped me out I'm afraid of rodents although I did not see any and water damaged walls bubbling in the bathroom are details that matter. Like I said the room was clean except for the ceiling fan over the bed and the air conditioner that is over your head while you're in bed. Both had a thick layer of dust that also made getting any sleep hard. It is a very historical building and overall it is very cool. I can't express how awesome the service was and I would recommend this to anyone who wants that experience.

Historic spot. We had everything we needed. Clean and beautiful. Don’t expect a modern chrome and glass room. It’s a boutique hotel and thats the way we like it.

Y'all!!! I cannot rave about this property enough! It was so super cute and cozy with so much character! We went for the Stevie Nicks concert on a Wednesday and during the "off-season" as Mardi Gras was 2 weeks ago so it was VERY quiet. Parking is a small limited area, but the staff was more than helpful with getting our car out. Close to the French Market, we walked there and back easily. I will definitely stay here again!

If I went to NOLA again, I would not stay on Bourbon St. Our room (the only one on the first floor) was clean but not well maintained. The refrigerator sat on the floor instead of on a table. There looked like mold on a section of the wall and the staircase up to the sitting room was a tad treacherous. The outdoor patio area was run down.

Super fun spot right on Bourbon Street. Obviously you’ll have the sounds of the night life down on the street echoing around the rooms - but that’s part of the experience with such a perfect location. Nice and central for waking to Bourbon craziness or to Frenchman chill vibes.

A gem on Bourbon Street
This 19th century residence converted to a hotel shows its age, but that is part of its charm. Great location in the French Quarter. It can get noisy at times, but one doesn't stay on Bourbon Street for the peace and quiet. Excellent value. A connected bar and cafe serve all needs other than a restful sleep after a night of fun. Service was excellent.

We found this hotel to be dripping with charm! The service was super-friendly & welcoming. Their parking fees are more reasonable than any other hotel in The FQ we have stayed at previously. The bedding, mattress, linens were luxe. The furniture is all gorgeous antique pieces... our bed in Rm 34 was fabulous! We had a 3rd floor, courtyard view, but even better than that, a 3rd floor view of The FQ & CBD & gorgeous sunsets. Our stay was relatively quiet, no rowdy neighbors & surprisingly, no ghost encounters, which we were sort of excited about. I guess we will need to plan to return for ghost encounters. The piano bar is a delightful experience... we had the opportunity to spend a few minutes & a nice cocktail with a pianist & artist belting out some Billy Joel, Elton John, CCR, Crosby Still Nash & Young & Alannis Morrisette & Tori Amos. A wide variety of music & so, so friendly & talented. Kristen was her name, I believe. This historic building is laden with gorgeous architecture, beautiful folk art, nice coffee in the lobby, luxe rugs & furniture. A passcode is required to get in... we felt totally secure & safe. The location is situated on the far east end of Bourbon, just outside the hustle & bustle but directly across the block from the infamous & historical Jean Lafittes Blacksmith Shop (pub). There is plenty of fabulous New Orleans cuisine & necessities within a block's walk of this hotel. Guided ghost tours visit here.

You’ll regret it. Planned for 20 yrs.
Honestly the guy that checked us in really set the tone for us. He was rude and miserable. We drove for 7 hours for an overnight stay. We had such high hopes but overcoming his attitude drained us. We hated our room but because of how he treated us we didn’t want to ask to change it. Trip of a lifetime brought down by a miserable man. I suspect this is the person in other reviews as the surly bartender. Loved the location and the parking. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Would never stay again or recommend it based off this rude, inhospitable human. New Orleans is full of amazing, Happy, enthusiastic,kind humans. Stay elsewhere and don’t wreck your trip.

A beautiful older historic hotel right at the end of Bourbon. The view from our balcony is absolutely one of the best in the city! In spite of the location we had no trouble with noise from the street - the room has a fan for white noise, so smart! Everyone here from checkin to check out has been wonderful - the friendly front desk people, the super sweet housekeeping ladies, attentive bartender, and talented piano players - all made our stay one of the best in New Orleans. As an added bonus we were able to meet the wonderful couple that own Lafittes 😬 We are so happy to have found this gem and will definitely be staying here again - highly highly recommend for any and everyone!

The Lafitte Hotel is a beautiful property that must be seen. Each room is unique and decorated with gorgeous art and antiques. The staff is friendly and Sheena, in particular, went out of her way to ensure we were able to retrieve something we left in our room after checkout.
