Loved the asthetic of the property. Old but very clean and beautifly done. Beds were very comfy. The room was a very good size and the bathroom was huge. Close walking distance to restaurants and a very nice stroll during the day to see some beautiful homes. We would definitely stay again.

One of the most iconic hotels in New Orleans. The location and staff were great. The hotel itself needs some updating but still a great place to stay.

Excellent location! Easy access to the streetcar, walkable to Magazine St. While the rooms are quiet, the hotel has two fun bars and a cute cafe to get coffee/breakfast. This would be my pick for a return trip. Easy check in and out, beautiful lobby, historic charm. Great experience.

We checked out a day early because the property was very old, musty, and there are drug addicts in front of the hotel who harass the guests. The staff who work the front of the hotel such as doorman and person who watches the door does absolutely nothing. They didn’t even open the door for us when we checked in. They’re just on their phone.

Beautiful vintage hotel directly on the trolley route. They only give you one room key though. It is an actual key and not a key card. The rooms are smaller than one might like for the cost of the stay. We had a two room Thalia suite.

I liked the clean rooms and the old style. The staff in the bar dining seem to care if they waited on me or not. Service wasn’t bad but definitely not 5 star.

Such a charming hotel! Old world style and elegance abounds! Silverwhistle Cafe was great for breakfast, and Jack Rose was exceptional - my server, Drea was attentive and offered amazing recommendations. I really can’t wait for my next trip. Thanks to all the staff for being so outgoing & friendly!
