This was my 6th visit to the French Quarter, I try to stay somewhere different each time. Although i see myself going back to the Nine O Five. The location is absolutely perfect. Just a block away from Bourbon, 2 blocks from Jackson Square, 2 breakfast restaurants on the same block. Location is perfect. This is a historic hotel, not a new hotel, keep that in mind when booking, dont expect a modern room. I go specifically for the history and charm so it was absolutely perfect to me. It was clean and very comfortable. Staff was friendly and quick to respond to any concerns. When youre tired from walking around there are nice comfortable places to sit outside relax and you can almost always here music from some direction. To summerize, I loved it here, and i definitely hope to be back

No hot water

Everything was fine except that the hot water heater was not in service the entire trip. It was winter, so the water was ice cold. The management acknowledged the issue, but offered no assistance in finding a place to shower, and did not compensate me for the inconvenience. Hotels.com recognized the problem and issued me some reward dollars for which I am grateful! After four days without a shower in the cold of winter, I had a wonderful hot shower at my next hotel :)

Sheets were dirty and comforter. A spring was hanging out of mattress. Everything stunk it was musty. The bathroom and shower was horrible. We were running low on toilet paper and couldn’t reach anyone. There wasn’t a lobby and nobody would answer our call. The deadbolt was extremely hard to turn. I couldn’t my husband had to. We checked out Friday after one night stay because we couldn’t stand it. It was very loud too! We tried calling to tell them we wanted to check out early because of the terrible conditions and couldn’t reach anyone nor did they call back. We want to dispute the other three nights charged because we weren’t there.

Misleading Information!!!

First, it's listed as "Nine O Five Royal HOTEL" but it's an Aitbnb!! My first experience with an Airbnb. When shown the living quarters, was not informed that the locks entering the building DID NOT WORK!!! Only the locks to the apartment worked. Anyone familiar with the property could easily walk in. Was not given a contact number in case of an emergency. Since I originally thought I was staying in a hotel, I knew I could leave my luggage with the concierge or valet at the end of my stay since my flight was late in the evening. Unfortunately that was not the case. I was told I could extend check out until 1pm leaving me to make other arrangements to store my luggage. Very disappointing!!! The apartment itself was beautiful. A lot of history with the decor. Would not stay there again due to lack of security!!!

Extremely strong musty smell, dirty towel and ripped top sheet. Loved the location and ability to sit on deck and watch the street activity. The bed room and sitting room nice size, the bathroom very tiny, no fridge.

Very nice little hotel in the middle of the French Quarter. Just understand that there is no front desk or parking, just a bedroom bathroom kitchen you access from the outside of a house-sized building. Park at a pay lot Premiere Paek 0407 near Jackson Square. Check-in before 5:00pm.

If you are looking for all the amenities with WIFI, fresh coats of paint, and fancy things, this place isn't for you. My husband and I were looking for history, privacy, and very little of the modern world. Nine O Five Royal exceeded those requirements for us. This is a remodeled house, and as such, it felt like we were coming home at the end of each day exploring the Quarter. The setup is different than what most people are used to in that Leo meets you there to show you your room, give you your key, and you are on your own. If being on your own isn't your thing, then this place isn't for you. We wanted a place to go where we didn't have to interact with a bunch of staff just because we entered the property. We would sit in the small, yet still very private rear courtyard right by our room, and not be bothered at all. If we find our way back to New Orleans, this is the only place we'll choose to stay. We value our independence and privacy above all else, and Nine O Five delivered that in every single way.

wrong hotel for me

This is not the type of hotel for me...no front desk, no internet, no cleaning. Very old furniture, croaches, funny smell... good thing its location, right in the French Quaters, but far enough of the more noisy area.

Great Place for a quick visit!

Great location, easy checkin! Super responsive! Our flight was delayed and we called to delay checkin without an issue! The shower bathroom is tiny and there is no refrigerator, but it works for a quick visit when you know you will be in the quarter a lot. I would stay here again. Suggestion to future travelers - pack a surge protector to plug in multiple items.

T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E! For 4 days and 3 nights not once did the owner give us fresh towels. The water took quite a while to get hot but then it was a fine combo of cold and hot so it didn't scald. The shower was made for a very short person, as well as the toilet stall made for a very thin person. The mirror was short as well. As for "kitchenette" all they had was a sink and dishes and a coffee pot...No coffee No microwave and No fridge. I did take into consideration the historical value of the property and did appreciate the late checkout for my late flight, but we need SOME accomodations for the price we paid. Oh and no WIFI!

Old and haunted, but cool

Hotel is very old, an antique. Very much like staying in a museum. Room was cold and drafty;fridge and stove didn't work. However, overall there was a sense of charm and history. Rooms were beautiful, but styles in the early 1900's. A friend back home, after viewing the pics I sent, claimed to have seen a young man or boy sitting on a chair. Next morning upon waking I discovered a lamp was on, yet I turned off all the lamps prior to returning. This experience added to the charm of "haunted New Orleans".
