We recently stayed 2 nights at the haunted hotel. Very cool location that is over 300 years old. I stayed in room B5, which was 1/2 of the axe man's room. I loved the way the room was furnished and it had an axe man in the closet. The courtyard was great, decorated with skeletons and stuff. They say there are 3 caskets on the property and by law they cannot be moved. We did a paranormal investigation of the property and the most active rooms were B6 and the one under it, to me. However, room 114 is supposed to be the most haunted room on the property with stories of the bed moving that I have personally been told by someone who stayed in there. There is no parking on site. My recommendation to the find one of the parking garages and uber over. You can walk to everything on the city from the location so parking for your visit makes things a lot easier. I did have issues with our AC unit not working the 2 nights we were there, they even had the AC tech come and fix it the morning after the first night, but after a few hours it stopped working again. Pretty tough in the summer. At least there was a fan and they gave us an extra fan. I liked the place and any Halloween lover will too! I did not have anything weird happen in my room. read more

Absolutely Fantastic! I love the Haunted Hotel. The staff really put this stay over the top! I booked this hotel for Mardi Gras 2025. I was so disappointed they didn't have availability the entire stay, but I was excited nonetheless. This was my first year staying in The Quarter, which made it miles above my other trips. I've gone every year since 2018, only skipping MG due to Covid in 2021. Even before I arrived, which is always a long drive in from KY, the hotel staff were communicating with me and said they would meet me at the hotel. There is a security gate going back into the property that is kept locked, so it's very secure. A young couple who work there met me and helped me in with all my stuff. So nice of them...I always overpack. They gave me my key to my room and one for the gate and took the rest of the payment for the room. They were two of the nicest people I ever met and we even remained friends after I came back to Ontario. They were both into the spooky stuff like I am. I was so impressed by the room. The bed was huge and all the horror and goth inspired touches made me feel right at home. I'm pretty picky about my bed with the RA but this was the most comfortable bed of my entire trip (and 4 other hotels). There were so many pillows and they were amazing. I wanted to steal them, lol, but I would never! The bath towels and comforter were black. There was a little ghost on the shelf in the mini kitchen. The shower curtain was bloody and the bathmat was blood red...and it was grippy. I'm always worried about falling in showers, but the mat was great. Spotlessly clean. The cleanest hotel I've every stayed at. There is a mini Keurig, microwave and refrigerator. They even had non dairy creamers, sweetener, water and little soda cans in the fridge. The first night was very chilly and they had a space heater running for me with the room warmed up. There were spooky signs up (pictures below). The wifi would drop, but I didn't realize you had to go out in the courtyard to connect. But I was at Mardi Gras. Who wants to be tied to the phone/computer? The courtyard is spectacular. There is a big tent with seats at one end and extra chairs/tables with a fire pit at the other near the office. They even invited me back to sit around the fire pit with them after I had to move to the other hotel. The office is decorated with cute spooky items too, and right beside it is a blood fountain. I did a walking tour with a girl I'd had as a guide before and we walked through on the tour and she was so excited to see the hotel from the inside. There is a staircase in the main building with a picture of a little boy at the bottom who tragically fell down the stairs and passed away. When I was telling here the story, we both felt cold air rush in and got goosebumps! While we were walking through, I saw there is a kitchen and coffee area in the bottom of the main building. The area is very safe. I walked there or back many nights and didn't encounter any trouble. There are so many restaurants in walking distance and even a grocery store, Rouses. I'd rented a parking garage spot that was almost a mile away but you can park on the street on Ursuline overnight, but must move your car every 2 hours from I believe it was 9am - 5pm, so it was convenient parking there the night before checkout. The manager is so nice too. Both she and the couple brought towels and always asked if I needed anything. I got to talk to them every day and the hospitality was at a level I've never experienced at another hotel. The manager, Christina, even let me use her umbrella one day when it was raining as I was heading out. I felt so welcomed and so safe there. I really missed it when I went to a chain hotel in the Quarter the last part of my stay. The only negative is that it is a little difficult getting in with stuff. The entranceway is uneven brick and a tad narrow, but that's just a small thing. The staff helped me get my things both in and out. I am glad I wasn't in an upstairs room. Mine was the last on the bottom in the back. I did experience one unexplainable thing. I had a cluster of plastic shopping bags on the floor against the wall and was sitting on the bed using my phone to find a restaurant. The bags rattled, and I thought it must be something settling in one of them. I said, "Is someone here?" and then all six or seven of them rattled and the plastic handles were moving like someone was rifling through them. That was cool and also unsettling. The rooms are clean and comfy, the decor is a spooky girl's dream, lots of little comforts, best staff ever and the courtyard is incredible. I still miss it more than a month later. I do have a room booked (could only get part of my stay again...it books up fast!) for next Mardi Gras...and hope to go if the current administration isn't still snatching anyone they wish off the street. But if you're going to Mardi Gras, stay here! Just don't take the room I want!! LOL read more

This place rules! It's conveniently located in the best part of the French Quarter, so walking to all the best shops, bars and spooky tours was easy. I loved the vibe and ambience of the place and Christina was unbelievably nice and helpful. If you're into the spooky season, this is the place. Will stay here again! read more

I loved this hotel so so much. The courtyard is so lovely to have a coffee or a cocktail in. I am not someone who can "hang" and our flight wasn't until 6PM. They let me sleep in instead of checking out!!! I'm obsessed with them. The two woman I spoke with during my stay were absolutely amazing. I'm for sure coming back!!! Thanks so much for the amazing time! read more

Awesome small boutique hotel. We stayed in 4b. It is a couple blocks away from the quiet part of bourbon street, close to lafitte's bar(our favorite to stop and get a drink). The room was a good size, mattress firm, bathroom to die for and a small walk-in closet. The couple that works there are so nice This is a pet friendly hotel and we did bring two littles. The courtyard is relaxing and nice break from the craziness of bourbon. Overall I'd recommend the Haunted hotel. We are already looking to come back next year. Thanks for a great stay read more

We've stayed at the Haunted Hotel three times in the last year. We wouldn't stay anywhere else! The staff are really accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The location is perfect two blocks from Bourbon Street, two blocks from Decatur and the market, a few blocks to Jackson Square, and please don't forget about Frenchman Street. The hotel was very cutely decorated each and every time we came down. It was very clean. It has a awesome courtyard! The courtyard is private to the hotel and locked to the public. We loved the courtyard so much so we decided to get married there last September. Ginger and Bobby (managers of the property) made it an awesome experience! read more

This was piece de resistance of this year's trip to NOLA. (Yelp doesn't do accent marks, but you know what I mean). I was so glad to have spent extra to book a hotel room in the Quarter. No issues waiting to recycle refreshments after the parade, just a quick trip back to the room. Feet hurt? Room just down the street from just about everywhere. It was super convenient. Where to begin? Great concept: Murder hotel haunted by the Edwardian era serial killer Axe Man, complete with a curio box containing a small hatchet found in the attic (not the murder weapon, obv). The staff claim Axeman was a maintenance man at the property way back when. The courtyard had a tent area and small fire, the main house was very lovely, and there were additional rooms in the back (servants' quarters?) The room: blood red and black decor, with haint blue (Southerners' tradition to keep the spirits in check). Blood splatter patterned sheets and amusing little murder themed cards everywhere. The area: between Chartres and Royal, and around the corner from Lalaurie mansion (evil slave owner ghost) and the Ursuline convent (nun ghosts). Several museums are down the street, but check the times, lots of these places close pretty early. The best part: Many beautiful and heavenly Sweet Olive trees were right next door in a walled garden and every time you leave, you can smell them! The blossoms are so fragrant! (Both Hove and Bourbon Street Perfumes have fragrance in this scent, btw). The Axeman: He made quite a few appearances, not visually, but he made his presence felt. His crimes ranged from turning off the hot water only in my room (requiring the staff to adjust the tank) to a ghostly chill that had to be mitigated by space heaters, to random thumping noises, to panty snatching. After several incidents where I walked into the other room and came back to find lingerie missing and then suddenly appearing draped across the television, Axeman and I had a conversation. I opined on his character, his boorishness and quite shocking lack of manners, and the fact that he was most likely a Yankee and no Southern gentleman at all. After that, he resigned himself to unexpectedly knocking small items off the nightstand, which was of course a slight inconvenience, but not overly offensive. read more

This hotel is so well located! You're in the heart of the French Quarter, steps away from the revelry on Bourbon St, the shopping on Royal St, and the dining on Decatur. The building has been around 300 years, so there's some great history that the staff is only too glad to tell you about. The rooms are charming, and the beds are firm. You're not coming here for frills: if it's continental breakfast, a hotel bar, a pool you're after, keep looking. Personally, I don't need that from a hotel in the quarter. I prefer the charm and history of this hotel to assume generic chain any day, hands down. They are very friendly! read more

Our stay here was as wonderful as it was memorable. If you are sick to death (ha) of the same ol same ol carbon copy hotel rooms, this is the place for you. Each room has its own charm as well as a mini fridge, microwave, closet, and private bathroom. I know this because Ginger allowed us access to two rooms as ours was originally a smaller room, BUT she had a king open for all but one night of our stay! It was awesome! Herb and the rest of the staff were so kind and amazing (make sure to ask him to snap your photo in front of the fountain!). They also offer a kitchen area AND laundry area so you don't have to over pack or worry about finding a mat to use. They don't offer breakfast BUT next door is a wonderful historical cafe and that's honestly much better. I guess my only con is the beds are a bit hard but honestly when you're so tired at the end of your day it's no real issue. Ask for an extra comforter to lay on and your set. My husband and I will be back! read more

This hotel isn't for everyone. The parking situation sucks, and the rooms are less secure than I was used to. The wifi was pretty bad. Other than that, the TV was nice, bathroom great, and bed comfortable. I don't know if it is better than other options or if it is just standard for the area. I know I probably wouldn't come back, but it is because I would rather spring for a place with parking. If you are okay parking pretty far away and can get this place at a good price, go for it. Btw, I saw no ghosts. read more

I have never had such an intimate experience at a hotel. Ginger really makes you feel at home. This hotel is cute, cozy, and clean. Don't forget about spooky! We had definitely had our own ghost experience and talked with many other guest who also experienced weird and spooky things going on. Their decorations for Halloween really set a great ambience. We had the best time! Also a shout out for Herb that was there for us when we needed him. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Loved the place. The axe murder room we stayed in had a great story behind it and the courtyard murders did also... the hosts were wonderful and it was located a block away from the Vampire Cafe... Loved walking around the neighborhood and returning to the hotel. The one drawback was the lack of parking nearby but really liked the atmosphere and decor' of the place! read more

My wife and I spent 3 nights. We highly recommend staying here... Ginger, Bobby and Herb were awesome from the stories about the history of the hotel to the spooky happenings they have experienced. Even experienced a few odd things myself. They treated us like family. We will be booking here again. Thanks for the great hospitality and the super awesome Gumbo. read more

The Hotel is amazingly beautiful, the staff are super friendly and the location is close to everything but also far enough away to be very peaceful. We found the hotel very clean, the bed was probably the best night sleep I've had in a holiday and the decor really made it feel like an authentic New Orleans home. Can't wait to come back. read more

This place is the most amazing hotel in NOLA. You will not get the same kind of customer service anywhere else! My S.O. and I stayed here from Dec 26-30. Not only is this hotel insanely close to anything you'd want to see in the French Quarter, but the owners are super friendly and attentive. We had two amazing homemade meals made by the owners and a regularly returning guest. The first night was a shrimp boil with all the fix'ns and the next night was grilled shrimp and jambalaya. They create an effortless sense of community among their guests that I've never seen in a hotel. They make staying in a hotel genuinely fun. Without a doubt, if we ever come back to New Orleans, we will definitely be staying here! read more

When you arrive locating the entrance is interesting. It is through a metal gate with a small hallway / alley between the building and the building next door. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I stayed in B3 which is at the back in the slave quarters under the room where the Axeman committed his murderous spree. This is where much of the haunting in the hotel takes place. I wouldn't say I was Haunted per se but there was a lot of either coincidences and oddities or it was paranormal activity. For one thing, my door stuck. Oh I could get in. That was absolutely no problem. But getting out, I'd pull and twist and pull. Nada. One time I put all my weight into it and voila! It opened easily. Another thing: the towel that was hung on the towel rack, never having been used was going to the floor and the washcloth on it, like someone had been using it. I had last seen both hanging up, untouched. Hmm. Another questionable thing was that a whole day of pills EXCEPT FOR ONE disappeared. That one pill appeared in my purse. I put my pills in a pill box with the days on it and a whole days worth except for one disappeared. They weren't dumped in my purse, because I would have found them in my purse. Another weirdness is that as I'm trying this review I'd put in 5 stars and it would change to 4 stars all by itself. This hotel has been completely remodeled. My room had a door that was a piece of heavy wood with nails in it and they removed the nails and turned them into a rolling door. It was found in the attic when it was remodeled and this was hung as a rolling door to the bathroom. My bed was comfortable. I slept like a baby. The courtyard outside is beautiful, with the original brickwork on the ground. There is also a canopy, so that if it's raining a guest could still sit outside. The on-site manager Widner is awesome. He is friendly and nice and helpful. His assistant, Bobby is so nice. He is actually a truly good person, with a heart as big as gold, in a city that looks to take advantages. God bless Bobby. The area manager Bobby is also nice (yes there are two Bobby's.) I never met Ginger, but I heard a lot about her (all good). read more

This place is pretty amazing! Not only is the history of it intriguing with its association with the Axeman, but I've honestly never met a better group of staff members anywhere else I've ever stayed. They were extremely friendly and willing to go above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible, even letting me borrow their personal phone charger because my luggage was lost in transit. One member even went so far as to volunteer to come back to the hotel after she had already left for the night to receive my luggage from the delivery service. We will most definitely stay here again when we come back to NOLA! read more

We had a fantastic stay at the Haunted Hotel. The owners and staff are wonderful and make sure that all your needs are taken care of. We woke up to breakfast in the courtyard of homemade gumbo and jambalaya. When we checked out we were walked out to the street and given farewell hugs and a final ghost story. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again. We did experience some weird, cold be blamed on ghost activity, in that in all of our electronics including cellphones, the tv, and the AC control suddenly quit working late at night. We also heard some strange noises in the middle of the night. We definitely did not get murdered by a ghost though. :) read more

I personally loved it!! If you like non-chain hotels with quirk, you'll love it. The WiFi password was incorrect and there was no coffee though! The people were so sweet and the lounge was fantastic to sit at :) It's a very special, clean hotel! read more

I'm giving this four stars because if you're looking for a 5 Star Hotel, this ain't the place for you (also, I didn't get the least bit haunted damn it). You won't get room service, you won't have maids knocking on your door every day, and you'll get to fall asleep to the soothing sounds of running water from the toilet that somehow won't stop trickling and the din of wandering drunks on the street who have gotten lost on the way to or from Bourbon St. Also there was a small blood stain on one of the comforters in my room... Really committing to the theme there. That being said, I loved my stay at the Haunted Hotel. It's super cozy and the few employees they have are very chill, relatable people. It's easy to end up sitting and shootin' the poop for a while when you're checking in or taking care of paperwork, which happened in a weird and staggering way because the office environment is casual to say the least lol. They have a really pretty, spacious courtyard with a fire pit and a "bloody" fountain, and a surprisingly fully stocked (albeit tiny) kitchen - we're talking hot plate, ice machine, cabinet full of spices, fridge full of condiments, utensils, the works. If you want to be prissy they do offer laundry service, but the washer and dryer are free and open to use yourself any time you please. They provide laundry soap and fabric softener too! The hotel is within walking distance to every New Orleans tourist trap your heart desires (although I will recommend walking the extra few blocks to St. Louis Cemetery #2 unless you really wanna pay for a guided tour of #1). I stayed in one of the balcony suites, and as much as they have renovated and repainted and fixed things, those balcony doors are a hot mess lol. This reads as a very mixed review, but I really would recommend staying here if you're a down to earth, non-fusspot type human. The vibe is like going to stay at a friend's house, and let's face it, if you're staying in a French Quarter hotel you're probably not spending a whole lot of time in it aside from sleeping, right? If you're going to be staying more than a night, I recommend reserving a parking space at one of the lots in the area. There's only street parking around the hotel and it's not 24 hours, so you really gotta take your chances/hope there's something nearby available. I got a spot in a lot maybe 4 blocks away, but I was going around on foot 90% of the time I spent there, so it wasn't really inconvenient at all. read more

True hospitality! Clean, comfy, quiet, and convenient. The courtyard alone is worth the stay. We are looking forward to our next visit and will definitely stay here again. read more

We haven't even checked out yet but I wanted to go ahead and leave a review. Everything has been wonderful. Booking was incredibly easy. I had emailed Ginger about letting me know if a room opened up. Within a few hours, I had my room. Check in was simple. They held our luggage for us until our room was ready and even carried it to our room before we got back. There were drinks and candy in the room, as well as toiletries (soap, toothpaste, qtips, etc). We had a great view from our balcony, including a parade. The beds were comfy. Pillows were great. Everyone was very helpful, offering directions, recommendations, etc. I'll definitely be back. read more

I will be recommending staying at this place to everyone I know! This Haunted Hotel and the amazing people who run it, literally MADE our trip to New Orleans! This was my first Mardi Gras and first time ever to LA. My friends and I had a great time. We were treated like family right from the moment we checked in. Ginger and Wydner's hospitality was so welcoming and it was instantly like we were there visiting family! On our second night we came back from exploring the city to find the inn keeper, Wydner and his sidekick Bobby, BBQ'ing dinner for all of the hotel guests! They brought out King cake for my best friends birthday and one of the guests named Jan who is an awesome human and fantastic musician sang about eating baby legs while he pulled that crazy plastic baby from the king cake and then proceeded to serenade my girl with The most amazing happy birthday! The hotel was beautiful, the room was cozy and inviting, the beds were comfortable, everything was clean and stocked with plenty of amenities including Mardi Gras beads for us to throw from our balcony. The room was modern, inviting and had an electric fireplace to keep us nice and warm. All of this while still keeping the charm of New Orleans! The hotel crew took great care of us AND... I only got freaked out once After staying here and getting to know these people I truly feel like I have a home in New Orleans and some really cool friends to come visit!! We will be back again and for sure for next years Mardi Gras!! read more

The Haunted Hotel - Hotels Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Looking for an interesting stay while in New Orleans? Give the Haunted Hotel a try. From the time I walked up, I knew it was the right choice. This hotel does not have a traditional lobby or reception. So I was a little confused as to where to go and within a minute of walking up, someone greeted me at the gate asking if I was looking to check in. They escorted me to the office and quickly completed my check-in. Widmer was enthusiastic as he showed me to my room and discussed the history of the property. Upon entering the room, he proudly showed me the room's features and talked about the amenities. And whoa... the amenities were awesome. This is no ordinary room with tiny bottles of shampoo. Instead, there were medium sized offerings of different types of shampoo, powder, deodorants, toothpaste, razor, shower gel. Great comfy bed, and stocked mini-kitchen. You won't be needing a thing. Throughout the room, you'll find nice little touches and notes reminding you of a murder room. Loved it, and they added to the ambiance. Bring your cell phone. There's no room phone - who needs it? If I'm getting murdered, there's no one to call I guess. If there's anything that I might say was wrong, it's the building noise - lots of creaks and thumps from the neighbors. And also the water temperature in the shower. It can be hard to get warm/cold in balance. That's probably a normal thing for an old building so nothing to be alarmed at. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You'll have a unique experience in a clean, fun room, in a great location, and with a great staff onsite. You'll feel like you're staying with family... oh, except the murder part. read more

My wife and I stayed 3 days last week. If you're looking for fancy, this is not it. If you're looking for character And a place with history, then you've hit the jack pot. If it wasn't for the sign hanging on Ursulines, you wouldn't know it was there. Open the iron gate and walk down the narrow brick path and it opens into a really nice court yard. The rooms are comfortable and so interesting. The staff is phenomenal. Thank you Widner, Ginger and Bobby. Bobby even boiled crawfish on Friday night. We are ready to come back. Three blocks from the French market and some great food. Thank you guys for a great stay. ---- Ron and Donna read more

Just off the beaten path of Bourbon StSt, everything is within walking distance and because of a physical disability I can't really walk far. This place is clean, comfortable, and friendly. The manager Ginger was wonderful and informative. She also went above and beyond when her husband made Gumbo for us. It was the best food we've eaten while there. There were some odd things that happen during our stay but that's something you'll have to experience for yourself. This is a historic building with an updated bathroom. All the amenities except a pool but I wasn't there for a pool. I wl hopefully one day be bringing my mother in the future and this is the place we'll stay at. Wonderful place! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND I had spent a weekend at the Haunted Hotel NOLA recently -- and I cannot wait to go back- First of all the managers Ginger and Widner are the most amazing people and their staff was great and accomodating.. The rooms are clean and stocked with everything you need down to toothpaste and razors in the bathrooms including the normal essentials.... The mini fridge was loaded with cans of soft drinks and waters--- along with coffee pods and half and half for morning coffee drinkers....The large screen TV was enormous and the bedding and bed were clean and certainly comfortable and the room was spotless. The courtyard and grounds were impeccable and had a great ambiance at night with the lights flickering from the trees.. Can you say "HAUNTED" --- I say YES YES YES-- we had some paranormal activity for sure from the AXEMAN one night---- You cannot find a better place in the French Quarter for hospitality, extra touches, wonderful hosts and employees- they make you feel like "family" Lucky read more

Love love love this quaint hotel. Staff is amazing! Convenient location to all of the attractions we wanted to visit. Will def be back and ask for room with balcony facing the street. The deli down the street (verti marte) delivers 24/7 and the food is delicious! read more

If I could give this place more stars I definitely would! Me and my family came here and were welcomed with open arms from all of the staff. They were so kind and recommended a lot of restaurants around the location as well. Seriously this is probably one of the best hotels I've been in hospitality wise for a long time. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back again with my family soon! read more

One star for the location only and the fact that is lowest I can give. We were unlucky and got a room in the main house. The room is NOT renovated...it was in a real sense scary. Old bathroom with mold and just plain gross. The worst definitely was the fact that cigarette smoke filled up our room (even though it's supposed to be non smoking). It kept coming in through the vents. All our clothes and luggage got stinky from smoke. As soon as we found a different hotel we checked out early from this one. Lesson learned! read more

Very nice rooms, very clean!! No haunted activity, but just the stories I googled about the place made it exciting to stay. Free laundry service , Very Nice management! Super nice courtyard for outside seating. My only suggestion would be for them to have a rug to wipe your feet on when coming into tge room. Floors are beautiful with whIte rugs and bath mat, but we're dirty very fast from our shoes coming inside directly from the courtyard. read more

Stayed here for New Years and then came back for Mardi Gras. Awesome experience both times. The owners and employees are great and very relaxed. They cooked up food and fed our whole group.

Ok! First off, Ginger and Widner -- the reason to come here in the first place. From our initial booking to communicating before we arrived, it was first class all the way! What are my criteria for a 5-star hotel experience? Greeted like a millionaire - check! Location - check! Communication - check! Easy check in/check out - check! Superbly appointed room with high-end appointments like a double-sized walk-in shower that doesn't get your whole bathroom wet and double sinks - check! Ultra comfortable king size bed - check! Large bathroom supplied with luxurious towels and products - check! Clean, clean, clean - check! 24-hour concierge - check! Security - check! Complimentary coffee, soft drinks, water - check! Fridge - check! Wifi - check! Large screen TV with plenty of channels - check! Modern air con/heat - check! Breakfast - no -- but who cares because it's New Orleans and you're not going to be awake for breakfast, but if you are compos mentis in the A.M., you can walk right next door and have the greatest cafe au lait and french pastries at Croissant D'Or Patisserie. :-) Parking - no -- but who cares because it's New Orleans and just like NYC, what you really want is to park somewhere with easy access out of town. You don't want to drive around town -- you walk it, you take carriages, bicycle taxis, segways, and streetcars. Use Premium Parking P249 on Chartres Street -- they have an app so you can reserve, pay and self park all on line. You can easily drop off your bags at the hotel, then go park the car and forget about for the next few days. The 8-block walk to the hotel passes through Jackson Square, so there's that added bonus. ;-) So, 5-star hotel? Yes! Book it and you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been attending Mardi Gras for close to a decade now and have stayed at many hotels Airbnb's throughout the French quarter. This hotel has been my favorite one. During my reservation I had ticked 2 instead of 3 of us and so the room they had was a king size bed. Being that this is a small boutique like hotel I thought someone is sleeping on the floor! Nope to my surprise they were able to situate us with a room with double beds so everyone got somewhere to sleep. The hospitality by everyone involved at this hotel was amazing they had treats (muffins,croissants, danish's ,etc) thorough out the whole day. One of the nights they even had a cookout and made burgers for everyone. The small kitchen area was full stocked with coffee and teas that you are able to just grab and make on your own. If you ever need anything someone is always around to help. As far as the haunted part we didn't experience anything but most nights we came in and would knockout. Ginger, Wildner & Bobby are truly the primary reason to stay at this hotel. The hospitality that they gave us was top of the line and made us feel like family throughout. read more

Love the atmosphere here. Close to the parade routes, but not much parking. Would recommend parking in a garage and walking. Pillows were amazing. Only complaint is that the building and room that we stayed in had a cigarette smell to them. Other than that we loved it! Courtyard is so pretty and relaxing. To our knowledge, we had no ghost activity though something did scratch on our window on the second floor. Spirits? Nature? Who knows but I slept great! read more

I didn't know what to expect from a 200 year old haunted hotel but let me tell you, it more than exceeded my expectations! The rooms were enchanting and fun and cozy( they even provided free sodas, water and snacks). The courtyard was beautiful and inviting. But it was the staff, Widner and Herb, in particular, but Ginger too (she just there in person like the other two) that made our trip spectacular! They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay, down to providing us an umbrella to use. These guys do everything with a smile and make you feel like family.

If you are coming to New Orleans and love to be in the middle of historic city with affordable price and local's amazing hospitality, I would highly recommend not going to "big name" hotels and stay here at Haunted Hotel. Everyone who works at the hotel, particularly Widner was so amazing and nice. We couldn't make it on time due to delay of airplane so we had no choice to skip the first day of stay, we didn't ask for refund but they gave that to us. On the day of departure, we had few hours till our plane leaves Widner let us stay longer than check out times. Hotel located amazingly close to be the heart of French Quarter. Everything was walking distance but at night, in party city like New Orleans, it was very quiet for comfortable sleep. Room is very clean, had a lot of amenities, everything in fridge was complementary (unlike big name hotels that charges small bottle of water for way over price) read more
