Top Gentilly Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time! We highly recommend this hotel"

Hotel Mazarin

10/10 Excellent

"About half a block from Bourbon Street and really in the middle of everything. We had a room on the second floor in an atrium area. It was very quiet. Room 230. Some of our other family had rooms right towards the front of the street and they had a lot of outside noise in their room. The included breakfast was very nice some of the best fruit salad ever! My only negative is that the coffee was not good. I would definitely recommend Hotel Mazarin and would stay there again."

The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

8/10 Good

"Staff, location, and overall aesthetic of the hotel is solid and made for a great stay. My room was clean enough… the floors were dusty but the staff did address. Note this is an older refurbished building with its original wood floors and the floors did creek at night and the air conditioner was a little louder than preferred. Nonetheless, the hotel has character, it’s a unique artsy feel, great staff and a award winning restaurant downstairs. I would go back."
