    The Pelham Hotel - Interior Lobby
    Dusty R.

    I stayed here for the last night of my trip to New Orleans, and after staying 6 days at the Hilton Riversde, I quickly realized that I instantly loved the vintage boutique hotels so much more It's completely different from your standard nationwide hotels. My favorite parts of the Prlham Hotel were the unique vintage decor infused with french and New Orleans styles, the hospitality, the rooms looked AMAZING, and the locations were one block behind Canal St. I now want to try other small classic hotels in New Orleans going forward. It's such a treat to see something so different from your standard hotels. Loved it!! Food: The Pelham Hotel has a Ruby Slippers restaurant connected to it that is amazing. A few notes to consider, they are packed from the time the doors open until ot closes, so if you can make a reservation, do it. They also close at 2 pm and stop taking names around 1:45 pm. The entry is on the corner, so the waiting space is tight with all the foot traffic. However, I saw everyone waiting on the other 3 corners plus along the hotel. They do a great job yelling your name out so you can hear from across the street. FYI, the streets are close to each other. Atmosphere: I felt really safe in the hotel and in the surrounding area. The hotel makes you feel like you're in the 50s or 60s, but at the same time, it's modern. What a great vibe. Everyone is nice and polite. It is a big tourist area. However, it's off the main street and 5 minutes of walking from the french quarter. Service: The staff was so nice and polite and did a great job accommodating me before I was able to check into my room. I arrived just after 11 a.m. My check-in time was at 3 pm. I was able to check my luggage in and store them until I arrived back at the hotel later that night. NOTE: Check-in is usually at 3pm it's a late check-in, but you can request an early check-in, and if your room is ready, you can check in. Price: The prices are great, I got a studio king for 1 night at $178 after taxes. The room has high ceilings and dark wooden floors, and with so much space, they could fit another couch in the room if they wanted to. The bathrooms are massive also with high ceilings. There's a dest, 2 padded chairs, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a kurig, and the best part is that all the furniture looks vintage. Location: It's located in downtown New Orleans, at 444 Common St. It's right behind Canal St. and 5 minutes walking distance from the french quarters. AMAZING!!

    Looking for a nice weekend stay but didn't want all the noise of Bourbon area. This really fit the bill. The only downside is they close at midnight and our flight was delayed. So we barely made it in before hitting a big dilemma. The girl at the counter didn't seem too excited to be waiting for us. All that changed when we saw our 4th floor room. Very nice room and classic style but updated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very nice. Huge TV plenty of space. We loved the inside of the hotel. The best part is it's connected to the Ruby Slipper cafe next door and their food is amazing. Hotel guests can also reserve a table 30 mins earlier than when it opens to the public. One block off of Canal too!

    This hotel is darling. The beds are comfy and the rooms are as cute as they can be. The staff is very nice and has been helpful. The location is perfect.

    Do not ever agree to be placed in a room on the first floor of this hotel. The street noise is unbearable and goes all night. A garbage truck comes every morning and it sounds like it's backing right up to your bed. It came at 5:30am yesterday and 7:45am this morning. We've been pleading with the hotel to change our room but they refuse. Not because they don't have availability, but because they have different classes of rooms apparently. The service at this hotel is abhorrent. I would never recommend staying here. This site won't let me upload a video of the garbage truck this morning so here's a picture of a used rubber glove housekeeping left in our room yesterday.

    Cigarillo found in our vehicle.

    We just finished our stay (June 5-10 2024), and got home to clean out our vehicle. Blunt wraps and cigarillos were found under our driver seat, which we have attached photos of. No one in our family smokes, and there was ash in our vehicle, showing one of their drivers was smoking in our car. This is completely unacceptable as we come from families with high levels of cancer. Additionally, my in-laws were staying in the same hotel and had a horrific experience. The first room they were given had BLOOD on the bedsheets. When they went to the front desk to address it, a gentlemen stated he was the only one there so he'd get to it eventually. After an extensive period of waiting, about 30 minutes, my father-in-law went down again to address it. The employee finally just moved them to another room, which was appreciated. Following this, on a different day, the same employee barged into their room unannounced, while my mother-in-law was showering and father-in-law was in his underwear. There was no acknowledgement or apology, just the employee running out of the room. Later, when the employee was confronted, he stated "Yeah, I just had to grab something." This was also completely unacceptable. Overall, our experience was moderate at best, but after finding the ashes, smoking paraphernalia, combined with the blood on the bed and the intrusion into one of our rooms... I could never recommend this hotel to anyone, especially considering I have attempted to contact the hotel via email, and gotten no response.

    Road trip from Texas to Alabama included a stop over in NOLA and a quick trip to Harrah's. Hotel was full of charm from decor, architecture, and location. Room was small but intimately cozy. Bed was lumpy and mattress needed replacing and there was no coffee in the room...that's the only two things that kept it from 5-stars. Front desk was kind and helpful with suggestions for free parking, coffee, etc.

    Hotel room with no windows.

    I did not like my room. The location was horrible. It was on first floor behind the checkin counter. There were no windows in the room. It was very creepy & small. We could hear every loudmouth guest return to hotel during the wee hours. There must've been a freight elevator nearby, because we could hear that as well. The only positives was, room was recently updated. Also the bathroom soaps were nice. I would not stay here again. Just pay a few more dollars and get a room someplace that has windows. I was with my teenage daughter and we were in town to tour a couple of colleges, so this was more business than pleasure. The fee for overnight parking is ridiculous.

    I absolutely loved staying at the Pelham. It's so close to the quarter yet hotel is quiet and elegant. I had a one bedroom with the highest ceiling I've ever seen inside a hotel. So while the room was small in square footage the depth more than compensated. The staff was warm and welcoming and I felt safe. My only gripe would be the concierge ordered me an expensive car port when all I requested was a cab.

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.

But if you're there to party hard on Bourbon Street at all the touristy bars, then you will be in your element. Depending on the side of the hotel you select when booking your room and the days you choose, you may be able to get away with just a sound machine and earplugs, or you may be getting too old and need to look elsewhere. If you stay on the courtyard side, you should have enough barriers to deflect the nonstop barrage of noise coming from all the bars and clubs on Bourbon Street, especially between Bienville and St. Ann, on a Friday and Saturday night particularly. We had a room on the third floor with a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street that gave us a great view and the opportunity to enjoy wine and cocktails as the festivities picked up steam throughout the afternoons of our stay. 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.
