“Hospitality plus!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2011

Full of clever allusions to its namesake, the House of the Rising Sun is the perfect place to stay in New Orleans. Algiers Point is a destination on its own, a charming neighborhood full of history, as well as an ideal location from which to explore the French Quarter and surrounding areas. Kevin and Wendy welcome you with open arms;... More

“Personal, Convenient and Quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2011

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the "Red Allen" room at the House of the Rising Sun. Comfortable and so convenient to the Quarter and Canal St without the hustle and bustle of staying on the Canal St. side. Kevin and Wendy were friendly and genuine. And if you're visiting NOLA for live music, that is all the more reason... More

“A Hidden Gem”

A beautiful house in a quiet location. Coming from Liverpool in England the House of the Rising Sun B&B was home from home after taking 'a ferry across the Mississippi' from all the hustle and bustle in New Orleans. Wendy and Kevin were great and helped us settle in for the night by taking us for a quick pint, or... More

“Quiet reprieve on the West Bank”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 5, 2011

What a fantastic find! I took my mom away for a weekend and wanted to find somewhere quiet and comfortable to stay. Not having any previous knowledge of New Orleans, I relied heavily on reviews and decided upon the House of the Rising Sun. One short ferry ride away from the French Quarter, this convenient bed and breakfast allows you... More

“Quiet but centrally located”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2011

The warm welcome on the nice terrace made us feeling home. The "House of the Rising Sun Bed and Breakfast" is located in the nice, safe and quiet quarter "Algiers", next to French Quater, just across Mississipi River. The free ferry brings you every half an hour across the river (until midnight). From the B'n'B to the ferry you walk... More
