This is not a generic, could-be-anywhere hotel. The shabby-chic look (in a good way), the Big Easy atmosphere, the French balconies, the laid-back (again, in a good way) staff all scream 'New Orleans.' Now, that also requires a little tolerance: We had reserved a king suite and upon arrival, were told we were being given a queen suite because there... more

Room was $200+ Advertised as luxury hotel, pictures on the web site showed resturant. In reality, this hotel was average at best! No resturant, no room service, not even coffee other than the stale stuff in the room. Mini bar locked, charged for a safe and telephone calls. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. more

Great small southern hotel. Large rooms, friendly staff, great location (in Warehouse District, walking distance to the Frency Quarter and River, St. Charles streetcar stop right in front of hotel). A nice place to stay to be close to everything but avoid the noise and crazziness of the Quarter. more

We stayed in the Lafayette for three nights in September, the hotel was lovely and we had a great time we fully intended to go back again next year, on leaving the hotel our bill was settled in full, we were very surprised when two months later two charges were applied to our credit card amounting to almost $600 dollars,... more

I'm honestly surprised by some of the bad reviews on here. We had a great time at the Lafayette Hotel, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, courteous and friendly to us. We stayed with our dog, and they have a very reasonable dog policy and also gave him biscuits at the front desk! Our room was clean and... more

This is an older facility, so there are a few bumps and warts. That said, the accomodations were clean, with some nice amenities such as the shower robes. Convenient location on the St. Charles trolley line, and a few blocks from Poydras Street and the French Quarter. The staff was very helpful. You do need to know in advance that... more

The Lafayette Hotel has Old New Orleans charm with modern conveniences. Great location--both convenient and quiet--you can easily hop on the streetcar or walk to the French Quarter. Very friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again. more

My husband and I, and another couple, were down in New Orleans for JazzFest, and the Lafayette Hotel was absolutely top-notch. Very conveniently located along the St. Charles Ave streetcar line, and just blocks from the French Quarter, the hotel provides easy access to all the fun and entertainment that New Orleans has to offer. Previous reviewers have been spot-on... more
