Loft 523 has great, urban-looking rooms: modern decor, high ceilings, platform beds. But there are a few basic things I expect from even the cheapest hotel: cleanliness, hot water and a relatively quiet room. Loft 523 fails miserably on the last count. As other reviewers mentioned, the downstairs nightclub is a serious problem. (This is not a "bar," as advertised... more

We were really excited to stay at this hotel because of its visual appeal. It did not disappoint there. However, it seems that this is a cool concept that has a few wrinkles to be ironed out, as well as a VERY LOUD nightclub adjacent to the lobby. We arrived too early for check-in, so we left our bags. When... more

Loft 523 was a wonderful experience! Very modern, large, luxurious rooms. We actually liked the fact that the hotel (outside of the actual rooms themselves) was sparse with few of the normal hotel amenities (there's no pool / exercise room, large lobby with many staff, coke & ice machines, breakfast, etc). After all, why would one stay in their hotel... more

I chose Loft 523 for a recent 4-night stay in NOLA and came away very impressed. The 400-sq-ft rooms are tastefully furnished and we found ourselves staying in much more than we would have if we had been in a typical hotel room. Space is great! The hotel lacks amenities, but they're up front about this, so I knew what... more

Booked through bookit.com. the room was smelling like bleach. The very nice guy at the reception gave us another room and upgrade us to a bigger one, as we were asking for a bathtub. Great place to stay if you like modern architecture and if you don;t need a room service. Very quiet (away from the French quarter) and relaxing... more

All I can say is WOW!! Loft 523 was amazing!! The rooms are extremely spacious with the most incredible bathrooms. I love taking baths so the extra large spoon tub was perfect. I can see why so many celebrities stay there being that it is a small hotel and even a little hidden with no sign out front. I truly... more

First and foremost the room and hotel was excellent! The room was very large and spacious and the bathroom was to die for! I never wanted to leave my room. The hotel staff was very helpful and everyone was so very nice. Like someone posted earlier Loft 523 has a sister property literally 2 blocks away called International House Hotel.... more

I stayed at Loft 523 for the first time on March 2nd. It was a great stay. The room was spacious and the bath tub was great. Actually, the tub was my favorite spot because it was spoon shaped and you can just lay back. The room had a flat screen TV and surround sound. The hotel is a small... more
