I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The pictures on the website were VERY disceiving. I felt sick to my stomach when we arrived to the hotel itself. When we fianally got to our room (via stairs) I wanted to immediatly go elsewhere. It was horrible inside. We spent as much time as possible "AWAY" from the place. It... more

We stayed in the Hotel Royal and got a room in the attic - very oddly designed and quite a walk up. One day we got stuck in a typical New Orleans downpour and we left our clothes to dry in the bathroom. When we got back to our room, not only were those clothes missing , but other accessories... more

Lemme tell ya - I want to know who their photographer is, because I'm sure he can make me look like Marilyn Monroe. Talk about making a dog look good... The rooms are nothing like what's pictured on the website. There was a hole in the ceiling above the bed, with crumbled plaster on the bedspread. The "jacuzzi" suite was... more

Great location, very helpful staff. Rooms were great for the price ($850 and our room was on the first floor adjacent to the courtyard. I am not sure what some folks expect for that price and loaction in New Orleans. The rooms are a bit old but the building is over 100 years old. If you want a fancy room... more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Royal for our honeymoon in October, 2007. We had an excellent room on the third floor, balcony overlooking Royal Street. The room had a king size bed, with posts and netting, beautiful lamps on each night stand, two large comfortable chairs, another large table at the end of the bed, large closet, with... more

A group of stayed at this hotel for a family get together and it was an AWFUL place. The front desk individuals are for the most part unprofessional and unhelpful. The rooms are FILTHY... unsanitary to say the least! The towels were always stained/dirty and they the sheets did not fit on the bed. There were no bathroom toiletries (except... more

I cancelled my reservation to this hotel on October 1st, and asked for my deposit back. They told me I would have to talk to the manager, Susan Smith, because she's the only one who handles refunds. That in itself seemed odd to me. Anyway, I called her office almost every day since the 1st, but she was never there.... more

As an earlier post stated, I too was "upgraded" to the junior suite. Believe me, there ain't nothing "sweet" about it! My problems began in room 4 in the rear building; the walls were FILTHY! Handprints,smudges,and God knows what else. The windows were flush with the ceiling so no chance of seeing out. The blinds were ready to fall out... more

We stayed at Hotel Royal for a wedding. The couple had a block of rooms reserved at other hotels but we decided we wanted a boutique hotel - BIG MISTAKE. Do not stay here if you intend on sleeping. Our room was ok (I can get over the lack of elevator) until the music started. Apparently our room was directly... more
