Ashton's Bed and Breakfast

1/1 found this review helpful

We recently spent 4 nights at Ashton's for a special event. As with my previous stay, everything was top-notch. The owners know what guests expect in a B&B, and provide it. The breakfasts are world-class, in taste, presentation, variety, and in capturing what you expect in New Orleans. Our breakfasts included eggs Creole, bananas Foster waffles, crawfish etouffee over crepes and sweet potato-stuffed French toast. The accommodations are clean and lovely. The hosts and their employees do a great job of making everything comfortable and pleasant. The rooms include amenities that modern guests expect, like in-room bathroom, but it's done in such a way that the original charm of the room is retained. The dining room offers 24-hour access to beverages and snacks. Parking is available, and access to the French Quarter is reasonably close. The view from the front porch isn't the most exciting, and there can be some traffic noise in you're in the front room, but the front porch and back yard are both excellent places to relax and enjoy the weather. City Park, the NO Museum of Art, and some nice restaurants are within walking distance. For the price of a hotel room, you get great food, great hosts, and a beautiful home in which to stay. Highly recommended.

My husband and I love to travel and we have stayed in some of the world's best hotels in Europe, Asia and South America. When our friends made arrangements to take us to New Orleans for a long weekend, we never expected that we would be staying in such luxury and comfort. This inn is a destination in and of itself. It is not the typical French Quarter experience but rather an opulent, restful, tasteful (literally) and beautiful mansion rarely found anywhere these days. When you think of Ashton's, think of European elegance and charm, South American relaxed pace and Asian pure luxury. Then add the innkeepers' charm and gourmet skills---the banans foster waffles and the egg sardou are unbelievable and truly out-of-this-world---and you have the perfect hotel, anywhere on this planet. This is no home away from home; home has never been this good! We plan to return annually and feel blessed to have discovered this six star mansion. Thank you, Patrick and Karma, for creating and sharing such a marvelous experience.

When we first arrived to the bed and breakfast we werent sure what to expect since the pictures on the website were nice but a bit vague. The minute we walked in the door everything came to life. This mansion was so grand and majestic that we were awe stricken. Our host started to show us around but we were so caught up with the beauty of the place that i hardly heard a word he said. My Girlfriend couldnt get enough of the high ceilings and classic but not cheesy decor. Once we made it to our room We were greeted by this gargantous bed that we couldnt wait to lay in. We drove down to New Orleaans from Chicago so we were quite hungry when we got there so we asked Patrick Ashton, where is a good place to eat and he recommended Deanies which could not have started us off better. From there on Patrick batted a thousand with suggestions for restaurants and many others types of activities. The breakfasts were incredible! Authentic New Orleans dishes with some twists packed the menu. Patrick and his wife Karma were so knowledgable i felt that i couldnt have picked a better place to stay for my first visit to Nawlins. Not only did knowledge come along with the stay, but the hospitality of them and the staff was unmeasurable. I am convinced my trip would not have been the same if i would have stayed at a hotel. I CANT WAIT TO RETURN TO THE BIG EASY AND STAY WITH MY NEW FRIENDS THE ASHTONS!

“Warm welcome awaits at Ashton's Bed and Breakfast”

We have stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts but Ashton's Bed and Breakfast in New Orleans is definitely at the top of our favorites list.
Patrick is an outstanding host; friendly , welcoming and very helpful.
It was wonderful to be able to visit with Patrick who cares so passionately about New Orleans. His love of New Orleans is clearly evident and reflected in his great New Orleans style southern hospitality. Ashton's Bed and Breakfast is budget friendly and conveniently located with free secure off street parking. The home is immaculate and beautifully but comfortably furnished with antiques. The breakfasts are five star, reflecting southern cuisine, delicious and beautifully presented. The best part is the atmosphere. You feel as if you are being welcomed home.

“Ashton B&B, New Orleans”

Ashton's Bed and Breakfast

Apr 6, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

Great and accommodating staff. The breakfasts were great--the most consistent food experience I had in New Orleans. Stayed in Pontalba (Room 1). Comfortable bed, sitting area. Desk area small. Bathroom is curtained off--so if there are two in the room, you better know each other really, really well!!! If you don't have a car, it's a nine-block walk to the northeast corner of the French Quarter, so be sure you have comfortable shoes (and breathable clothing).
