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.

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.

Clearly Expedia customers are treated differently. A room was booked through Expedia, front desk says no rooms available - we are at negative one... Called back via cellphone 10 mts later, yes we rooms available. Couldn’t you have said that at the front desk?? We would have booked while standing there. Overpriced, prefer nicer cleaner hotels.

What we loved about staying here - the location (right by the Trolley on St. Charles), walkable to many restaurants, great Jazz bar and restaurant, great rooftop patio and old world charm with a twist of hipster. The shower pressure was amazing! Staff were really helpful and nice. What we did not love - the rooftop bar turns into a college hangout after 8pm, the rooms are a bit dim and outdated because it's an old building. I requested a city view but on the third floor our windows were treated so we could not see out. They offered to move us but I was too tired to switch. All in all I enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again because of the location and restaurant/bars.

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!
