We stayed at the Bienville House in a 4th floor room with our own terrace and it was lovely! The room was a very good size and had ceiling to floor windows with full shutters to keep the place cool. The bed was very comfortable and the decor lovely. Absolutely no bad bits at all in regard to the rooms,... More

A charming hotel with friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We arrived before check in so they held our luggage and offered suggestions as to where we could get a good breakfast/lunch in the area. We were very happy with our spacious room, filled with antiques. It felt like we were in someone's... More

Spent 3 days in New Orleans. Properties are older, but well-kept. Staff was very friendly and offered many suggestions of places to see. Continental breakfast was perfect, bagels, yogart, fruit, pastries. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Good location -- just far enough away from the craziness of Bourbon Street. Best restaurant we found was Brennan's Bourbon Oyster House, corner of... More

A nice quaint hotel with an amazing courtyard. The first impressions of our room was literally breathtaking. The AC unit was loud in the hallway by the ice machine and the trim in the bathroom was cheaply done, but for a building built in the late 1700's with so much history, that can be overlooked. We also had trouble with... More

Bienville House is in a perfect location for travelers to New Orleans. Very nicely decorated, with a cute courtyard and pool. We had a third floor room with a balcony view to the courtyard. Only problem with the room was that there were two double beds, very tight sleeping in a double if you're used to a king or queen.... More

Last week was the first time we stayed at this property even though we visit New Orleans often. I was a little skeptical because of some of the reviews but I thought we would give it a try. WE WERE VERY PLEASED.....with the service from the staff (very helpful and welcoming)), cleanliness (no bugs as suggested in a previous review)....it... More

Wonderful hotel if you like an intimate elegant rather than corporate monster experience. This place had a decorator who did it right...even .the bathroom soaps are on a silver tray that has doilies under the glasses and the roof is made into a private garden space,..the complimentary continental breakfast is generous and server is sweet and helpful... This staff has... More

This hotel was everything I was looking for during our stay in New Orleans. The hotel is located near the end of Decatur Street closer to the financial district/downtown so it's a bit recessed from the hubbub of the heart of French Quarter but a VERY short walk to hubbub if that's what you want. I wanted a little bit... More

In an excellent location in the French Quarter to explore everything the area has to offer on foot including the terminal for river cruises on the famous steamboat 'Nachez' and Bourbon Street which comes alive at night. The hotel has maintained its character during a recent refurbishment and offers quality, clean accomodation at affordable prices. The small outside pool and... More
