Our stay at the Olivier House Hotel was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

I loved everything about the hotel; the old charm, the location, and the entire staff. I also loved the size of the hotel; not huge and not too small. You don’t have to worry about the pool being crowded; I love it here. And the rooms are clean, nice and roomy. The location is excellent; waking distance to Bourbon Street, French Quarters, Deanie’s Restaurants , and everything else. You will not be disappointed.

This was my first time in NOLA and this hotel was absolutely amazing. The staff were incredible and everyone was so friendly. Perfect location to hit Bourbon St!! Thank you guys for the warm hospitality. Southwest changed our flight and we got into NOLA at 8:15 in the morning. When we got to the hotel we expected to leave our bags and head out, but our room was ready!! I will definitely stay here the next time I visit.

French Market Inn

French Quarter

10/10 Excellent

This is a quaint, clean, quiet, cute little hotel that’s right in the middle of the French Quarter. It’s in an old historic building, so don’t expect pristine modern glitz and glamour, but it’s charming, the room is clean, the staff is friendly, and it could not be MORE convenient for getting around the French Quarter. Literally everything we wanted to see was easily reached by walking a few blocks, using the streetcar system, or taking a hop-on/hop-off bus. I especially loved the courtyard...

They just reopened Dec 30th. Everything has been redone. No complaints. The staff was so friendly m. It was safe! They always had someone to buzz you in. Although this is not a complaint but if you have trouble going up stairs request a lower level room. We loved our room but after a long day of being out in New Orleans. The stairs were a killer. There is no elevators! Also the parking is first come first serve. It is a small lot. Luckily my husband and I got there early enough to get a parking...

Hotel only a short walk to all the fun in New Orleans...room was a little outdated...just to note the balcony rooms are shared..our neighbor didn't see why she could drag our metal chair set onto her side!

Was quite pricey for what it was but then it was Jazzfest and all hotels were pricey!
