Right in French Quarter without the loud raucous crowd to keep you up at night. Also old world charm and access to sister property with Carousel Bar. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel, very clean and friendly staff, being on Decatur St it was noisy at night and had a squealing dog staying next to us, however the location of this property is perfect, was a little surprised at the $49 a night parking, guess I missed that fee somewhere, overall it was a good stay

First thing that started everything off bad was the fact that there were additional fees that were not listed at the time of booking. They wanted $75 per night for ''incedentials". I feel like any and all fees should be listed at time of booking so that guest can be properly prepared for their stay. Then the front desk staff was rude and stated that we could cancel the reservation and when i stated that wouldn't suffice she just walked away in the middle of me talking. It wasn't until I said something about her walking away that she wanted to get an attitude and say that she was going to get the manager to help and that was the reason she walked away but that was not stated before she walked away. The manager was helpful and polite and was able to waive the fee and stated we would only be charged after our stay if damages were found. Once we got up to our room we noticed that the AC did not work. When we informed the manager they stated they were going to call the engineer on call and gave us a box fan to use until he was supposed to arrive. The engineer never came. The next morning we asked if we could please be switched the manager stated that she had to call the engineer and he would have to attempt to fix it first before changing us. We left for a few hours when we got back the AC still did not work and we were finally changed to a new room. The new room the AC worked but we had no towels. Needless to say I would NOT recommend this hotel!

A cute budget hotel, the staff was very nice and accommodating. My only complaint is some of the amenities advertised, the gym for example, aren’t actually located on the property and are at their sister hotel about a block away which is a bit misleading. All in all though a good choice if you want to be right in the French quarter on a budget.

Really liked the historic aesthetics of the building. Nice room . Only problem was the room sounds as if I was sleeping in an engine room. Not sure if it was the air unit or what but it had an impact on my sleep for sure. Beware of the $75 a day fee for incidentals and $50 for parking. Otherwise, all was enjoyable. Stayed in the superior room for a week

Stayed at the Ritz Carton for our New Orleans stay, but had to book a different hotel for our final two nights. Our stay at Bienville House was amazing. If I had it to do over, I would stay at Bienville House rather than the Ritz. The room was so sweet and had a perfect private balcony. The location is close to all things and the staff were very kind.
