We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Villa Convento this past weekend. We stayed for 3 nights, and arrived in NO at 8 AM. Check in time is 2pm, but they held our bags for us and called when the room was ready around 10AM and let us check in.
The room was beautiful, we stayed in 401 and the balcony was not like the ones on the lower floor with wrought iron and street views, but gave us a private rooftop view of the city that included a small view of the bridge and river. There was slight water damage we could see on the ceiling, but no smell or other drawbacks, didn't bother us at all. The room was clean, larger than expected, cute and comfortable. The rooms come with towels, soap and linens but no shampoo so bring your own. Also, in our room the elevator was very loud. Didn't keep me from sleeping though.
There were sodas and snacks available for sale in the lobby. We had experiences with Warren, Barbara and Vince at the desk, and they couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. From ghost stories, to cab calls, and personal favors, they were amazing.
We will definitely be back to the Hotel Villa Convento.

Vince and Warren were terrific and really made the stay special. We only stayed one night at the hotel going by some trip adivisor mixed reviews. The hotel was right in the heart of French quarter and super handy location. It was a Creole Townhouse which we wanted. Our room with the balcony overlooking the street was very quiet. The place needed some serious rehabilitation. The walls needed painting and the floor felt old and worn. The worst part really was the bathroom with cracks and dried water leaking spots. I believe it wouldn't have taken that much to take care of that situation. Also, the toilet did not flush very well. We really enjoyed our stay but so glad it was only one night and not the whole week. The bakery across the street sold me. It was fabulous! French as in Paris...

My daughter and I came there to celebrate her 19th birthday. Barbara and her husband were amazing. They helped with our car, her husband took photos of my daughter and I, and Barbara came to our room to see our outfits. We loved the hotel but most of all, the staff. We will be returning there for New Years.

My experience was wonderful from the time I made my reservation up to the time I checked out. All of the Quarter hotels were booked, including Convento, so I emailed and asked to put on a waiting list. Warren contacted me immediately and told me he just had a cancellation and put me in a balcony suite for the same price as a smaller room. Barbara was there when I checked in and was there when I left. She gave me a hug good-bye as though I was family. Warren and Vince were there during the evenings and gave me directions to wherever I needed to go. The patissierie across the street serves the best French pastries I ever had outside of France. The French Market and Cafe DuMond are both just steps away. I highly recommend and will make this quaint and charming hotel my "go to" inn every time I'm in NOLA. Again, the staff is courteous, kind, patient, helpful and friendly.
