I absolutely loved this hotel. Location was perfect, everything was in walking distance. Close to all the action but still got to enjoy peace and quiet. The courtyard was a great place to sit and relax. The room was spacious and very clean. Was extremely impressed with the decor and the natural aspects of the building. Couldn't hear a sole.... More

My husband and I stayed here for our first trip to New Orleans. We were very satisfied with everything about this hotel. The location is within walking distance to all attractions. The room was clean and looked just as nice as the photos online. The staff went above and beyond!! They are so helpful, especially Kendall. The only drawback we... More

First room we were given was not good (no windows, no space, noisy a/c) and I had a bad first impression but we were soon moved into a wonderful balcony room that was clean, spacious and comfortable, followed by a courtyard room for the next two nights which was so cosy and light. The courtyard was lovely and although breakfast... More

It is true that one room within Hotel Royal does not have windows. This internal room is within our petite category, but still offers a Jacuzzi tub and queen sized bed. We were happy to move you to one of our Royal Balcony Suite’s followed by a two-night stay in one of our courtyard-facing Deluxe Rooms. Each of our 43... More

The location was really good. The atmosphere was "quaint" and interesting and we had fun climbing all those stairs. It's not a five/four star hotel with amenities and the walls were VERY thin... The A/C had problems which the staff felt really bad about, but this is South LA and A/C is mandatory for comfort and enjoyment of the stay.... More

I would like to take the time to thank you for reviewing your recent experience with Hotel Royal. Unfortunately during your stay we had a series of electrical issues that lead to overworking of many air handling units. All of these items have been addressed, and we foresee no future issues in regards to major outage of air conditioning. We... More

The best thing has going for it is the location. It was in the sweet spot of the French Quarter, and still just far enough from Bourbon St that we weren't bothered by the noise. We booked one of the larger, patio penthouse rooms and loved having the patio that looked over Royal St. on the top floor. It wasn't... More

At Hotel Royal, we strive for every guest to have a problem free stay. If problems do arise, we work diligently to find a solution. Unfortunately in this instance we were unable to repair the issues to your Royal Balcony Suite’s air conditioning, and we did not have accommodations to meet your individual needs.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights before boarding a cruise. The location is in the French quarter, which we had never been to.

As many reviewers have stated, there are some issues with this hotel, primarily emanating from its renovation from an old mansion to a hotel: - quality of the rooms varies greatly! We originally stayed in a room with terrible, loud noise from a nearby AC unit. However, the staff was very gracious and moved us to a lovely room that... More

I am proud to announce that no future guests will be paying the previously enforced “Amenity Fee”. As the new General Manager of the property I can assure you that this was a top priority.

Besides, the initial glitches of air conditioning units not working and being moved 3 times, I can honestly say that the hotel experience was a pleasant one.

Stayed at this hotel with a friend during the jazz festivals. We had a room on the 3rd floor. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean, but the room itself was EXTREMELY small. When you walk in, the bed takes up most of the space and there's absolutely no room to lay out your luggage. It was annoying... More
