Ahhh. I'm the biggest nerd ever. This has been on my list of must go to hotels for the longest time. Why? The original opening scene was filmed here. See? I said nerd i have been to the quarter quite a few times and we've stayed at many different hotels. Then I found out about this place when I was researching my places to check out that was connected to filming of the show and it was quickly added to my list. Smack dab in the middle of the quarter for those who are traveling there. The hotel holds that old historic charm reception area is beautiful and updated with a more modern feel. I was in nola with family for Thanksgiving and after they flew out I had booked my plane ticket an extra 2 days out just so that I could spend some time in the quarter. And just my luck this time I was actually able to book a room here. My excitement was off the wall. I was jumping for joy. I ended up going to the quarter earlier than the normal check in time since my sister had flown out back to CA early. I was just going to leave my bags with concierge if I couldn't check in and explore the quarter. For some reason Louisiana was freaking cold as hell this whole trip. And of course I didn't pack a coat or anything for the temperature drop. Luck was on my side though. I got to the front desk and they told me my room was ready! Ahh the could tell i was super excited. I couldn't even express my excitement. How lucky was i this whole trip. Everything was working out my way. My room was beautiful. It was huge compared to all the rooms at any other place i had stayed at. Even the front desk girl who helped me bring my luggage up expressed how I had received one of the nicest rooms. The hotel kept it's old time charm with a bit of renovations to look new but still hold the feel of its old time history. You could literally feel the walls speaking their stories. Yea I'm a huge history buff and originals vampire dork. My windows looked down at the courtyard where the show was filmed. I literally had a perfect view of where everything was filmed. I could even see the upstairs railing where Marcel jumped down in the opening scene of the show. The bed was huge and so comfortable. I had the most amazing stay. The staff was so so nice and helpful any time I needed anything or asked for anything. The bathroom was updated and was clean and modern looking my shower and bathtub had jets so could just lie in there and relax if you wanted to. My whole stay in the quarter was great the only thing that wasn't cooperative this trip was mother nature. It was raining and cold the whole time. But staying at this hotel was perfect. So other than to go out and get food I just stayed in my room which was fine with me since I probably needed the much needed rest. I was able to just relax and get the mych needed r&r my body needed and I was in the best place ever with the perfect view of what I wanted to see. I highly highly recommend booking your room here even if you aren't a fan of the show.

The coffee maker has to be moved to use it to the only place in the room with sockets, one of the bedside tables.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our 20th anniversary. I state up front that the staff was very friendly and very helpful, we have no complaints with them. For the price of this upgraded room though, we were disappointed. Yes, we had a semi private balcony view, which we did enjoy. Unfortunately, we also had to walk up several flights of stairs to get to that room... It's not an easy task after walking around all day sightseeing. When booking this room, I saw no mention of this... or I wouldn't have purchased this room because it most definitely is not worth the extra money... at least not to us. There is a lack of electrical outlets (if you want to use the coffee maker, you have to move it to the only bedside table where outlets are located. However theres no room for it there if you have a cpap machine on the table), there is no mirror that can be used in the main bedroom if someone is occupying the bathroom, there is no mini fridge or microwave either...these are standard ammenities today in rooms. People often bring drinks or leftover food back to their accommodations, but you can't do that here. So, if you want a cold drink, you have to hike the steps down to the only ice maker in the courtyard and then back up again. We enjoyed our trip to New Orleans, but we will try another hotel next time.

This is the first time in my life I book a room when my bed was cover in hair,dusty ,dirty and beside that the looks of the door doesnt work...I complain to the front desk lady and they change my room ,the other room ,was cover in dust ,was so diffacultad to open the shower door ,was loose I ended buying in the Drug store ,Lysol and Bleach to clean the room and bathroom...The front desk Perry is the only wonderful thing in that place,he was super friendly and professional...Those Housekeepers from Honduras,who they were always in the cellular ,they perform a horrible Housekeeping job....This Place has to be close and fix all rooms

I've done countless road trips throughout my life. I've stayed in many hotels and motels throughout my travels. None of my stays anywhere else in the U.S. have been as bad as my experience here. My initial draw was the price, it was definitely affordable and located right in the middle of the French quarter. My initial impression was that the place was old and cute. Since it was so old, I expected to see at least one roach during my stay. I honestly didn't see a single one throughout the week. I also checked for bed bugs and rodents. They passed the test here too. I only observed a single gnat and 1 mosquito over the course of the week. This observation is why I've awarded at least two stars. My room was rather big and appeared clean at first glance. There was a smell about the room. It smelled similar to a minty toilet spray. The air was stale with this smell. The bathroom sink and shower were itty bitty and the toilet was so close to the shower that your thigh touched the shower if you sat. The shower had lots of soap scum. Next to the toilet paper roll, the wall had a smear of blood on it. The bed area had some broken bricks on a wall, the floors creaked loudly and the bedspread had a dirty stain on it. The window was located facing into the center of the hotel so you heard drunk people stomping all night right next to you. The bedspread I called downstairs to address maybe 7 times between dinner and late night. They didn't come up until midnight. They didn't have a replacement bedspread, they could only offer us these wooly itchy thin blankets. Good lord was that nights sleep terrible! The cleaning staff behaved rather unprofessionally during the daytime. They'd throw supplies like clean towels or water bottles from the second story down to someone below and if it hit the floor they'd laugh loudly (which attracted my attention). They appeared to run it into a fresh room after getting it from the floor. I was extremely bothered by what I was witness to. The best part of the stay was the fact that the First 48 was on TV constantly and when I checked out. Checkout was a breeze and I was happy to leave.

I wanted to love this place but that was not the case. Booked it knowing that it was a smaller room in an old building with no amenities. Walked in to the room on the first floor that smelled like mold. The room was cute but it lacked maintenance and care. Paint literally falling off the wall, stains throughout, and house keeping did a poor job throughout our stay. The shower was disgusting we actually purchased bleached and soaked it before use. We did get itchy while there and had some bites, not sure if it was bedbugs or something else. The front desk staff was friendly and checking in and out was fairly easy. Our AC worked great and pillows were comfortable.

MAJOR RODENT ISSUE If you read some of the other reviews, you'll see a few that lead me to believe this is a regular occurrence but only in certain rooms. The hotel staff was sweet and room is pretty decent. We stayed in the top room in the courtyard, on the right side. Sure, there are a lot of stairs and it's an old place, but it was sort of cute. The bed is barely comfortable and the shower makes you wish you brought sandals but otherwise, not bad. First night, nothing out of the ordinary. Second day, I see something scurry across the floor and notice it's a small mouse. Never seen that before, but no biggie. I told the hotel staff and she said, "it's normal. You're in the French Quarter and there is construction behind the hotel, so they've been coming here." Whatever; room is big enough for all of us. Next day I noticed there were small dark pellets about the size of sesame seeds in the computer chair where my backpack was. Yeah...then remembered I had a bag of trail mix in my backpack. Oh no, right?! Reach in and there are bite marks all through it and crumbs. So then I'm terrified there's mouse poop and maybe even a mouse in my bag as I slowly empty it. Fortunately, just poop and the mouse wasn't in there anymore but still gross. I decided to get rid of any possible food in the room. Saw the mouse a couple more times. We just kept modifying our behavior over the next 2 of our 5 day stay: wearing sandals in the room because when we didn't, we got mouse droppings stuck our feet; we didn't leave clothes out because the mice would poop on them (photo attached); we kept our suitcases off the ground and zipped up when not in use so we didn't bring one home with us. This was just who we had become now and he we had to live, folks. Third night, we were basically pros at living with our furry roommates. What else could go wrong? Bring it! Then I saw something new crawl across the floor that wasn't a mouse. Yeah...it was a pretty large roach. And at that point I was like, "yeah, I'm done!" I actually have a video of us fighting the roach but couldn't upload so there's just a photo of it. Went to the desk again and asked to be let out of the rest of our reservation. Unfortunately no nearby hotels available, so we had to rough it one more night. The next morning I went back down again. She was cool and understanding about said the manager would reach out. Nobody ever did, but we did get out of our contract for the last two nights. We moved over to the Sheraton Four Points (WHICH WAS THE SAME PRICE!) and it was seriously like a dream. Shower head was a little broken, carpet was worn. We just didn't care at all. It was such an upgrade to not have to wear sandals for fear of mouse turds. Four Points did say that they have heard a lot of negative things about Hotel Royal and that Hotel Royal often calls them begging for oversold bumped guests and they won't even refer people there.

My husband and I stayed here Oct 2-6. The Hotel was beautiful and loved the charm of staying in a hotel that was built in 1825. The room was clean with minimal decor yet stylish. The hotel staff was extremely nice, opening doors for you and holding our suitcases for us as we arrived a few hours before check in. They had plenty of recommendations for food and tours. Erick was very welcoming and Chris was nice to put in a ticket for our safe in the room that was not working. The balcony was a nice bonus and we had a peek of the cathedral at Jackson Square. On the second to the last day we were lucky enough to see filming for a Lil Wayne half time show (for the Saints) video from out balcony. LIstening to Lil Wayne in New Orleans is just as important as listening to Jazz so we were lucky enough to see that. Everything aside from the scheduled tours we took was in walking distance and it was nice to take in all the historical buildings that is the norm in the French Quarter. Definitely worth it to stay in the Quarter.

Stayed here on Sunday night. As soon as my taxi pulled up, a friendly bell staff opened the door and grabbed my bags (wish I remembered his name). The front desk agent Devin immediately greeted me and checked if my room was ready since I arrived there pretty early (noon). He kindly told me that my room wasn't ready and suggested to leave my bags while I walk around the neighborhood. The bell person offered to put my bags in my assigned room and Devin took my cell number so he can alert me when ready. An hour later and sure enough...I was promptly informed and my baggage were already stored in the room. Their hospitality made such a good 1st impression! 1) Hotel is located on Royal St. 1 block away from Bourbon. Excellent location! 2) Charming mid courtyard pathway with brick layered facade. 3) Room #17 was on the small side but spacious enough for 2 and located on the very top floor. This converted building does not have elevator so it might be tough for some to climb 4 flights of stairs to the room. 4) Modern and simple furnishings. Clean white walls. 5) Bed was very comfortable and linens were laundry fresh. 6) Modern marble bathroom and nice Delta mixed w/ Kohler fixtures. My room didn't come with a tub. 7) LCD TV, Ipod dock, iron / board, ceiling fan, quiet A/C, ceiling fan. 8) Free WiFi and fast connection speed considering I was on the top floor Check out was a breeze as well. Flight wasn't until 6pm so stored bags and again, Devin graciously offered to schedule a cab for around 3:30pm. Came back at 3:15 and arrangements were fulfilled as promised. Very impressed :) Although my room had no coffee maker nor fridge, but really had no use for either. There's a local coffee bar across the street and numerous restaurants just steps away from the hotel. The attentive service was one best experiences I've ever had. Will recommend this intimate boutique hotel to my friends who prefers to stay in the heart of Nawlins and expect great service!

Disgusting !!! DO NOT BOOK!!! Black mildew lined shower , grime and mildew shower head, front desk lady decided to ask me last night what my service dog did for me, which is completely illegal! All this for a $100 a night mildew , rude place.

At the very top of this hotel is room # 17. We don't believe in ghost, but this room is haunted. On separate times during the night of March 1st, 2024 our mattress was shaking for 15 seconds, while two deep males voices moaned for three or four minutes. I know that it was neither Gisele, or I shaking a leg or an arm. After the first time this happened, we made a point to keep still, and just let it happen. Not to say a word just to listen. Re-encountered this happening three more times during the night. New Orleans has only had four earthquakes since 1950. This wasn't fracking or earthquake. It was a shake of just the mattress. In the morning I shook the headboard, and it had a creaking clinking sound against the wall, and I shook the boxspring, and it also had a creaking, clicking sound. When our mattress was moving, there was no creaking or clicking nothing else in the room not a lampshade or piece of furniture was moving. We live in LA and we know what an earthquake is. This was not that. It was a gentle moving in the direction of head to toe for 15 seconds or so at several points during the night. it didn't feel like a violent or mean presence. It was just a presence looking to be felt by us. Gisele didn't want to stay another night, but I was OK with it. I didn't feel threatened by it. So we chose to move onto another place. I suggest you try room 17. Hopefully it'll be as interesting for you. . ~ oh and take a look out the window in the hallway before entering room 17. The next-door neighbor has a ghostly female mannequin, on her back porch. ~ Enjoy!. ~ Eric

Pros: Historic location Rustic setting Courteous staff In the heart of French quarter, close to the best spots in the city, dining and otherwise. Cons: Small rooms, try to request a room facing the courtyard or streets, our room was on the third floor and felt like an attic with small windows, but we got used to it eventually Too many stairs not friendly for people with physical handicaps or the elderly Not the hotels fault but our neighbors in the last two days were very unruly, loud and argumentative, banging their doors and fighting with each other all the time, with the rooms being on the third floor and in the corner - far away from the lobby, no one really was able to interfere or stop this from happening.

Had a great stay here in the attic suite. It was such a beautiful view. This very nice historical hotel is located off of Royal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana's French quarter. It's within a close vicinity of everything you want to visit in New Orleans. All the nice boutiques and restaurants right there off of the street. Every now and then a mule and carriage tour will pass through. Due to the age of the building, there are no elevators so we had to climb several flights of stairs to get to our room. I definitely didn't need to do any additional leg workouts staying here. Warning: no microwave or mini fridge. That's OK since the food in New Orleans is so good you'll eat the whole thing with no leftovers. Staff have been very accommodating and friendly. The courtyard is very beautiful and a nice private haven for tucking away whenever you need to. I would highly recommend staying here!

See all

Great location, great price, great staff, and great views if you choose the garden. We spent two nights, one before and one after a cruise with Carnival. We arrived in town a few hours before checking and the accommodated us wonderfully! They had a room ready and waiting for us 2 hours before checking in! Then upon arriving back from our cruise we arrived back and port and off the boat by 8:30 am. Our plan was to check our bags in and walk around until check in. The man at the front desk said absolutely not, checked us in upon arrival at 9 am at no extra cost, and allowed my boys and I to rest from the lack of sleep we had from the night before because of rocky seas. This hotel is the personification of "if you respect the staff they will respect you"! Like all old buildings and those that have seen the hurricane in 2005, the hotel has its issues. We did have toilet running and cold shower issues, but to me this was a small price to pay for the respect and kindness the staff showed us during our stay! I highly recommend and hands down one of the best hotels in NOLA. This is my new hotel whenever I stay in New Orleans going forward!

Paint in the room was chipping, mattress was stained, but overall these were things we could ignore. However, something we couldn't ignore while using the bathroom in the middle of our first night, was that we found we weren't alone. There were 3+ cockroaches hanging out near the tub and a few scurried away before we could kill/photograph them. The next morning we went to the front desk, got our refund and switched hotels. Front desk staff was AWESOME, so kind and quick to help us. However, after we asked to cancel our stay and went back up to the room to get our bags and leave, one of the hotel housekeepers decided to come up to our room and "confront us". She wanted us to show her the cockroaches (that we had killed and flushed) and tried telling us she's never seen a cockroach at Hotel Le Marais before, basically calling us liars. Lol, well, here's some pictures to prove it. Let's ask the audience. Positives: The front desk staff was exceptional. Very helpful, very kind and knowledgeable. It's located close to Bourbon and has a nice courtyard. Negatives: ROACHES IN THE ROOMS, confrontational housekeeper, thin walls.

We booked this hotel based on the Yelp & Google reviews and Reddit recommendations…read more The only PRO of staying here is the location. It is very conveniently located to Bourbon Street. The 2 things I care most about when staying in a hotel is a comfortable night's rest and a good bathroom/shower. The bed in our room was the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on in my entire life. It was so mushy that when you laid your head down, you sunk so far into it that your legs were literally 45 degrees above your head. I ended up sleeping upside down in the bed with my head where your feet go in order to feel even remotely comfortable. The pillows were all extremely flat, when you put your head on one it sank so far your face was about 1/2 inch from the mattress. I had to use 3 pillows stacked on each other. I had a stiff back, neck and joints the entire time we were there. The 2nd issue was hot water. The first morning, we attempted to shower, it only got barely luke warm for me and when my husband showered immediately after he only got ice cold water. We stopped at the front desk that morning on our way out for the day and told the woman at the front desk. She said she hadn't received any other complaints so it must be specific to our room and she would send engineering there to look at it. (we were getting hot water in the sink). Later that evening when we returned to our room, we immediately tested the shower again and it was still ice cold. So we went back to the front desk to check if engineering had come. We spoke to the same woman from the morning who acted like it was the first time we were telling her this and she said the exact same thing. I asked if they were going to come ASAP because we needed to shower soon and we couldn't take ice cold showers. She ignored my question and answered the ringing phone. A manager happened to be at the desk and overheard our conversation. He asked what our room number was and said that because of the old building and the pipes the hot water takes longer to get there. He said this was a KNOWN Issue by the staff, management and the owner. He told us to run the shower for AT LEAST 15 to 20 minutes, simultaneously with the sink and it should get hot. He also offered to move us to a different room but when I asked if he could guarantee if we wouldn't have the same problem in that room he couldn't give me a straight answer. We had already unpacked everything and didn't want to go through that hassle without a guarantee. So we went back to the room and let it run for 20 minutes and it eventually got hot. So for the remaining 3 mornings, we had to set our alarms for 30 minutes earlier so we could get up and run our shower before hand. For nearly $300 a night, we felt that this was ridiculous. Old building or not, if its a problem, then either don't put people in those rooms, or get it fixed somehow. Why should anyone be subjected to an ice old shower or an inconvenience to their time because the owner hasn't done anything about it? We visited the hotel Bar, the Bourbon O'bar 3 times during our stay and each time we received TERRIBLE service. None of the bartenders were friendly to us, in fact they were pretty rude. Each time it took them at least 10 minutes to even take our order (by standing there and looking at us and not saying anything). The bar was not busy or crowded any of these times. They would then start making one of our drinks, put it down and make other people's drinks, leave and go into a back room, play on their cell phone, talk to each other, or carry the glass around while doing other things. My husband ordered an old fashioned and the alcohol was sitting in the jar with the ice for over 5 minutes while the bartender carried it around doing other things, causing it to get watered down. When making a cocktail, it should be completed from start to finish without doing other things in the middle. I ordered the Mardi Drop cocktail on 2 different days. The first time, it was actually very good. The 2nd time from a different bartender it was horrible .He also sprinkled probably a tablespoon of cinnamon on top of it (which the first didn't have) which made it nearly undrinkable. I had to stir it into the martini in order to not get a mouthful of cinnamon with each sip. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant Roux because of the bad Yelp reviews - we felt we could get a better breakfast elsewhere outside the hotel. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all unless you don't care about being comfortable or friendly service.

The bed was wicked comfortable. The set of drawers had plenty of space to put clothes with a small fridge for keeping drinks cool and leftovers from spoiling. The closet space was ample and was able to fit all of our hang-up clothing and our suitcases. There was a nice lounge chair next to the desk to chill if you didn't want to sit on the balcony. However, the bathroom was cramped and narrow with these weird double doors that could cause trouble if you are going to do business in the middle of the night. The water pressure wasn't great either and if you don't have the curtain positioned right then you're going to have a puddle. Housekeeping did come by to change our linens and provide fresh towels every day, which was appreciated. The front desk was very affable and accommodating, especially with holding out luggage when our room wasn't quite ready yet to check-in. And I liked that there was a security person checking people that were actually staying at the hotel to avoid stragglers, random drunks, and transients from entering. I didn't have the chance to use the pool while I was there, but we were busy walking around the French Quarter to really care. Same went with having anything in the restaurant for food. They did have the little mini mart on the ground floor that worked for when we needed more bottles of water that were larger than the complimentary ones. Accommodations at the hotel were solid, but just know if you stay here, you're experiencing the full Bourbon Street treatment. It is always loud at night, especially, on the weekends.

This is a very elegant hotel with top notch amenities. Located in the French Quarter, this hotel…read moreoffers ultimate convenience, with restaurants and cafes just a few minute walk, not to mention its proximity to Bourbon street where the action is. The fresh flowers at the lobby looked fabulous. The room looked elegant and clean. The toiletries are, of course, my all time favorite. The view of the courtyard was amazing. The grounds were very much well kept. The staff that stood out was Corayma Castillo. She was very kind, professional and helpful. Everyone else were otherwise great. I loved that they had tea and beignets available at the lobby in the afternoon. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

This is not your typical Ritz Carlton but I will point out that the cleaning staff and the valet…read moregentlemen were super friendly! but it's just not to the standards of Ritz properties. Never been to Nola and was here for a wedding. We figured visiting other ritz Carlton properties, this was going to chalk up to similar stays. You Could say it was a disappointment. Room decor is outdated and a little musty smelling. The hallways and one hallway area (maybe ice area) are so rundown and dirty feeling/looking, I was shocked of the lack of standards of this place offers. It's like that saying putting lipstick on a pig to make it look presentable. The highlight was the mini beignets being served in the lobby area which my son loved ! That was a plus! The bed was comfortable too. If visiting again, I would do better research of hotels regardless of "name".

We stayed here 3 nights for Jazzfest and had a really good stay. Check in was quick and easy…read more Ronnie and Michael at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Robbie especially cracked me up; so much personality! We booked a Premium room in the Hermann House across the street, which was spacious and comfortable. It has a beautiful brick courtyard. There's a pool at the main hotel across the street; could use a little greenery to spruce it up. Was a little concerned by the negative reviews, but we had a very enjoyable stay.

**edit They changed our room…read moreTo a nice dry , room with balcony. Hope from front desk was SUPER helpful . Thank you. Hotel is still dated etc but service is good Will give 2 stars because it is a cool historical building and front desk people on duty seem to want to help . The original front desk clerk wasn't the friendliest. Then we got to our room and just feels damp , musty and unclean. (But spacious). There is this raggy musty couch that seems "damp" for lack of better word, which I wouldn't even touch. Rug seems nasty. There is a sign saying "enjoy your two artisan waters " and there are no waters here. The room phone doesn't work so If we need anything have to walk downstairs. The view is of nothing, but worst part is AC is on 60 degrees and we are sweating in here. It's not really blowing and would estimate it's about 75 in here . They are "sending someone " to fix ac but now we have to wait for this to happen and can't shower or get ready. Will update review if they make things right .
