One of the items on the bucket list was to stay in a Bourbon Street balcony room and it was finally crossed off at the Royal Sonesta. Only stayed one night so I can't comment on speed of housekeeping or things like concierge but the service was just excellent for our short stay. From the bellman to the room service... More

My husband and I visited NO for the first time over Memorial Day weekend and were lucky enough to win this hotel by bidding on Priceline. After spending a long weekend there, I probably wouldn't stay anywhere else.The location was excellent for the city's first-timers. You can walk anywhere and everywhere, or easily hop on a pedi-cab right outside. Very... More

I had not been to New Orleans in years. I have stayed at this Royal Sonesta before. It is still a great place to stay in New Orleans. Safe. Wonderful service. We had a room with direct access/stairs to the pool. Right on Bourbon Street folks - not a better location in town. Great food too. Not too pricey -... More

Attended a Saints & Sinners Convention and everything was perfect. The lobby is gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. Our room was on the pool side but the Hospitaslity Room was on Bourbon Street and we had a great time. Our food at all of the functions was great. We were a small group this year and they catered to... More

We stayed here whilst on honeymoon, we were only in NO for a couple of days between New York and a cruise. We arrived around 17:00 and made use of the shuttle bus service on sale at NO airport - easy and quick. We arrived at the hotel and checked in and had a room overlooking Bourbon Street it was...

My husband and I drove from Memphis early afternoon six hours to New Orleans (first time in NO). When we got there we drove around Bourbon Street to see what hotels were closest so that we wouldn't have to walk far after a night of drinking. We ended up deciding on Sonesta because of the location and price. It didn’t... More

We enjoyed this hotel as it has a bit of character and is not just another clone hotel that could be anywhere in the world. It has a couple of jazz venues with some really well attended shows, with lots of serious jazz buffs in the audience; get there early if you want a seat on a weekend night. The... More

We stayed for 4 nights. We had a room overlooking a private courtyard. Highly recommend this location - not a bit of noise from the restaurant, pool or Bourbon Street. Staff was fantastic. They really made us feel special. Only complaint - the room had a musty smell. But since we were in a private courtyard we were able to... More

If your ground zero is Bourbon Sreet , going there one time to party, suggest you splurge and try and get a deal on the Sonesta . Smack bang in the center of the action. a '4 star' hotel, decent Jazz every night on site (I guess as crowded!) , Unique courtyard with pool and bar, good in house restaurant... More
