Don’t miss out on a stay at this hotel!

Great hotel, great location - right in the heart of the French Quarter. Everything was in a short walking distance. The balcony added to the New Orleans experience! Staff was exceptional. Highly recommended for all guests - single, couple or family!

The hotel is attractive and conveniently located. But the staff needs work. Our room flooded when a toilet in the room above ours overflowed. The staff then was slow to respond and the hotel has apparently reneged on a promise to provide a partial refund to pay for some damaged possessions. Other issues: no shampoo or other toiletries in the room until the second day; no bottled water in the room as advertised; morning coffee pot near lobby wasn't promptly refilled; the pool on the one day we had good weather looked very nice, but some of the already-limited seating had "reserved" signs.

French Quarter experience without the noise.

Situated on a quiet street on the edge of the French Quarter and within walking distance of Frenchmen St, Le Richelieu was a perfect spot for exploring New Orleans. The hotel had spacious, clean rooms with a good-sized bathroom, though the walls are a bit thin so you can sometimes here noise from the other occupants. The bed was comfortable and large. Check-in staff were friendly and very helpful with all enquiries.

Great location, but missed the mark.

TThe hotel is in a fantastic location within the French Quarter, which made it convenient for exploring the area. However, there were several issues that impacted our overall experience. The keyless entry system malfunctioned, requiring a return trip to the front desk to obtain a physical key fob. Additionally, there were significant plumbing concerns. Our friends experienced water leaking from a light fixture in their room, while in our room, water bubbled up through the toilet and backflowed in the shower shortly after one of us had finished using it, which was quite unpleasant. The cleanliness of the room was also disappointing. It did not appear to have been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival, particularly the bathroom fixtures, which looked like they hadn’t been wiped down. This raised concerns about the overall attention to detail in housekeeping. We were also disappointed to find that the on-site bar had been closed since October. We had booked our stay well in advance for graduation weekend, and the bar's closure during the interim was not communicated, which affected our expectations. On a positive note, the staff was consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

This is a solid 3-star hotel in a fantastic spot in the French Quarter, close to Frenchmen Street and the French Market. They have updated bathrooms, strong A/C, and cool, funky period furniture.

Nice hotel, but did not meet up to all the hype. It’s pretty dated, and sparse, the room was very clean, and the bed was very firm, and needs updating. All in all I was pleased but probably wouldn’t stay here again

Kind of on the edge of the French Quarter makes for a peaceful stay. Pool area is lovely and the bar is a cozy & classy place to sit. Balcony rooms are worth the small upcharge!

Location and Pool were great, everything else meh

Pool area was perfect and relaxing. Location was great. Everything else was meh. Our room slanted so much that our luggage would roll from the window to the door if left unattended. The hotel uses digital keys on your phone that worked about 75% of the time. Was pretty annoying not knowing if it would work or not. Housekeeping had to let us in. Front desk was very friendly but there was a long wait whenever we needed something bc there was only one person working.
