The Hilton New Orleans Riverside has left many guests with mixed feelings. Many appreciate the hotel's central location and clean, spacious rooms, but warn others of constant noise from doors, elevators, and lobby activity. Some travelers criticized the outdated atmosphere due to worn furnishings and decor. They also expressed dissatisfaction with inconsistent room service, limited restaurant options, and fee-charging amenities. Despite friendly staff, issues with housekeeping and customer service were reported. The value, according to several visitors, didn't match the high rates due to costly additional charges.

    ...I’d selected my room in the taller tower based on the reviews. When I checked in, it was not available at check in, so I was given a room in the section of the hotel (Riverside) closer to the train track... I thought (wrongly) that as a Diamond member I was getting a comparable room to the one I’d chosen in the app, but wow, it was not... It came by at least 6 times during the night between midnight and 6 am and the room was pretty much next to it... I went to the front desk the next morning and afternoon to request a different room and thankfully was able to be in a room on the 11th floor tower after the second visit... When I asked the front desk about moving to a room farther away from the tracks, the first person I spoke with didn’t have a way to see the room location on the computer, which seemed odd... Why someone would build hotel rooms right next to a train track that carries freight at night is mystifying... But the room noise was too much and I would not recommend staying here unless you are in a high floor room and staying here for a business meeting...

    The worst Hilton I've ever stayed in. Before arrival my booking got cancelled, which was unsettling in view of the exorbitant prices for the room, unleashing frenzy of emails and phone calls to clarify situation... The next morning, I reported the same problem and was told the maintenance team would be in my room in 15 min... 40 min later, no maintenance team had arrived and I had to leave the room... When I got back to the room the hot water issue was unresolved... I had to go back to the reception and my room was switched... When I asked for directions to the new room I was told the new room was on the same floor... The most crucial bit of helpful information however would have been to let me know that the room was in a separate building... The new room was dated, dark, and smelt musty...

    ...Don’t bother paying for a river view room... Rooms were clean and serviced regularly even though I opted for alternate days servicing it was done daily... Having a river view room meant a rude awakening every time a ship was coming towards the bend in the river and let out three or four blasts on its horn at gone midnight...

    I attended a national conference here so myself and about 15 colleagues stayed here for 4 nights... We often bought our own food to have something in our rooms but, while there is a mini fridge, there are no microwaves (which is limiting)... There was a cockroach in my room, which I killed, so I called housekeeping to come clean my room (because what else could they do) but they sent someone to pick it up and flush it down the toilet... They slam shut in every room and I heard the banging all the time, all hours of the day, which is frustrating since the a/c can’t just be set to “on” to drown out noise... Good water pressure even though there are 1,700 rooms...

    ...First of all, there was absolutely no hot water in my room, and after I called maintenance, I was told that the five floors below me were vacant so I just had to run it for over 15 minutes for it to get hot. Which is interesting, because one member of a party was unable to get a room due to them being overbooked... This hotel is also conveniently located directly above a railroad track where a train blows its horn throughout the day and night... In room dining was also a joke, they say that the in room dining goes from 6 to 11 AM but you have to get your order in by 945 or 10 as they will not take orders after that...

    ...5th floor room was miserable and dark with view directly into walls of opposite building (multi storey car park?)... Request next morning to change rooms was not well received by Reception staff... When another room was allocated, we were told our belongings would be moved to the new room and text would be sent to confirm room would be ready... Each of the next two days was exactly the same, coming back to room at 5 p.m and no housekeeping... The housekeeping staff were working in the rooms alongside ours and said we were next... Went downstairs for a coffee to return to the room an hour later but no housekeeping and having to ring Reception to request housekeeping... We stayed 4 nights/3 full days and had no use of our room during the day time...

I might stay in a room in the tower side though...

    ...We went to our room that was spacious and had plenty of towels and a very comfortable bed, but there was a musty smell in the room... The second day we were surprised that housekeeping never came to make up the room... On the third day with no housekeeping service we found a small sticker on the mirror stating that house keeping makes up the room every 4 days... The long stretches between housekeeping services might also be the reason the room smelled so bad when we arrived... We were unable to open our room safe when we arrived... Alton the security personnel quickly arrived at our room and remedied the situation...

    We stayed at this hotel before a cruise, first time in New Orleans... Room was clean, with a comfortable bed and good shower... We did have an issue with our first room, and the hotel very quickly made it right by switching our room the next day (we arrived late at night)... We had a Riverview room, and it was nice to look out on the water, however our first room looked out onto a riverboat parked alongside, so the switch helped with both issues...

    ...Seems to be in a 1980s time capsule - not in a good way... When you do reconnect it keeps trying to make you pay... The hotel was completely overrun, but no effort was made to mitigate the effects of several hundred people of limited mobility trying to access a very small (but hugely expensive) breakfast buffet at the same time... This resulted in either having to go out for breakfast or be in the queue before 6.30 am - not what you want when you are on holiday in New Orleans... The final straw was being charged an extra $75 for a 2 pm checkout... The damage being done to the Hilton brand by this place is incalculable...

    ...This time staff advised me I would have to use my $15 ×2 f&b credit towards breakfast, refused breakfast coupons, the manager became very condescending and then advised me that the breakfast perk was only available at hotels and resorts outside of the United States. I brought up my perks and read them to her verbatim she refused... I explained to her that is making me buy my earned perks... I requested twice for the dept director to call me, nothing!... I consider myself a Hilton head, but since covid their customer service has gone down the drain... I hate to start over but after staying at the Omni downtown San Diego and their San Diego Golf Resort the customer service was absolutely refreshing!... If Omni can provide great customer service then so can Hilton... I prefer full service properties but Im not above a Hampton Inn, but to stay at a beautiful full service Hilton and to get Motel 6 customer service is disappointing... Im Diamond so I can imagine the piss poor customer service blue/silver gets... Lastly thr fish stinks from the head, if front desk is following managements lead then I see why the service is lackluster to say the least!...

    ...First of all, there was absolutely no hot water in my room, and after I called maintenance, I was told that the five floors below me were vacant so I just had to run it for over 15 minutes for it to get hot... None of the buttons on the side of the phone work if you are trying to reach anyone within the hotel regarding anything at all... I had to Google the hotel and call their number from my cell phone in order to get connected to anybody... I have stayed at La Quinta’s that are better than this Hilton... The only good thing about my experience at this hotel was a young lady named Kiki that worked within the event area... She was able to give us excellent recommendations on places to go eat while also maintaining a very pleasant attitude... Thank you Kiki for being the one shining light in this mess of a hotel...

    This is a unionized hotel, and it shows in both their ability to attract/retain staff and the attitude of the people working there... Every person we encountered was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly... We never had to wait for an elevator despite a fully booked hotel (if you've ever stayed in a high rise where the waits were long, you know why I'm mentioning this.)... In fact, it never felt crowded, and there were never lines or waits for anything, because there was such an abundance of helpful staff...

    ...I really am surprised that customer service was the problem most often cited in a low rated reviews. If anything, i am convinced that this hotel has the best customer service I have ever experienced among so many places I stayed in, including other Hilton properties - I would give it 5+ stars If I could... Upon check-in, when i was asked for my cell phone number, I immediately was sent a text suggesting to me to text them back with any requests or concerns... I used it many times to ask for things, and all my requests were delivered promptly, day or night... Our luggage was delayed by the airline, and they provided us with dental kits and combs that helped survive the first night... I dealt with many people including bell station manager, and they promised to notify us as soon as our luggage was delivered, and they did!... I received several text when the bag finally showed up... The room we stayed in had a partial view to the river, and was nicely furnished and had good amenities (loved USB chargers everywhere) and comfortable beds... But once again, the biggest asset of this hotel is its very friendly stuff, many thanks to everyone who have made our stay as comfortable as was possible after hectic air travel...

    We stayed at this hotel for a dance convention for my daughter... We called before arriving and were told that we didn't need to rebook our room and that we would be able to change rooms upon arrival... After we checked in several others in our group changed, upgraded, or otherwise altered their reservations... We didn't personally experience those things but both of those parties were able to get their rooms upgraded... The convention itself was great but there was a lack of restroom facilities and the ones that you do have were not well kept and many stalls didn't have toilet paper most of the time we were there... I've had friendlier, more welcoming experiences at Holiday Inn Express...

    A superb room with great facilities and suprisingly quiet for being right in the middle of the city! Really handy being connected to the riverwalk and convention center... Having the walk air conditioned makes all difference though, certainly recommend... Lovely pool and the gym's decent, too... Had a couple of issues with my room key giving up working, and the phone key wasn't perfect, mostly due to my main complaint being that the wifi was horrendous... Lovely staff though, and the breakfast was fantastic...

    We stayed at this hotel before a cruise, first time in New Orleans. It’s right on the water and attached to shopping and dining... Room was clean, with a comfortable bed and good shower... We had a Riverview room, and it was nice to look out on the water, however our first room looked out onto a riverboat parked alongside, so the switch helped with both issues... Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it’s extremely close to the cruise port... We were able to walk to all kinds of attractions...

The breakfast at the hotel is chaotic, Having to que for a table for over 30 minutes when there are empty ones around. The staff who allocate the tables are rude and not disabled friendly. The rooms are large with sold wooden furniture. The staff servicing the room speak very poor English.

Hotel's Favorite
Lovely hotel overlooking the river and beside a large outlet mall. Close to the French Quarter and within walking distance from Bourbon Street. Public areas are well decorated as were the bedrooms which are spacious, spotlessly clean and have all the facilities a guest would need. All staff were helpful and professional. In addition to the hotel bar and dining areas, there is an on-site Drago’s seafood restaurant (definitely worth a visit) and Starbucks and there are several good restaurants in the vicinity. There are also various coffee shops and fast food outlets in the adjoining mall. The hotel is very large which may not suit everyone but we loved the facilities and it’s location. Recommended

this hotel was reasonable when I visited. The room was spacious, and kept very clean though it doesn't look new. A bit far but walking to/from the French Quarter and Bourbon Street is quite doable, and catching a taxi/Uber was really easy. Overall, the stay was very pleasant. I would say, though, that the way to connect the Internet was a bit obscure, and there should be a clear instruction. The Riverside Mall is right behind the hotel, which can be very convenient.

This Riverside hotel is an awesome place to enjoy New Orleans! It is close to everything and has a beautiful lobby and interior to welcome you. The shops at the Riverside mall was easy to get to through the hotel’s connecting tunnel and the views were breathtaking. I woke each day fully rested from a good night’s sleep. Definitely will stay here again!

The hotel is in need of a makeover. A colleague found mold on their lamp shade. My shower had rusty permanent fixtures. And the elevators were rotating being broken. The river view was nice and the restaurant attached was pretty good. If you are staying here for the convention center, it is a 10 minute walk.

As others have said, this property is in dire needs of updates. We stayed for a conference but the hotel is is still a 15 minute walk away. We had a great view of the river but the room was very small and the bathroom was even smaller. The Wi-Fi was very unreliable. Wallpaper was hanging off and the shower curtain was broken. Smokers congregate immediately outside the exit which ensures a lung full of smoke (cigarette and others) every time you leave the building. The whole place needs some serious attention. The location is good but there must be other better quality hotels in the area. A big no for us. We would definitely not chose to stay again.

The hotel is in need of updates. The general areas are okay, but the rooms are not Hilton quality. Our sink had cracks in it, no cold water, and the tub did not drain. The fridge froze all drinks. The room was cleaned well. Location is good, walkable to most areas. The Riverwalk has many shops and a food court.

We had a very nice trip to New Orleans thanks to the people at the Riverside Hilton. When we arrived it was very cold and we were very early! We were allowed to check in early and this made all the difference in our trip. Room was nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Attended a convention and stayed at the Hilton. Great location for everything, from the convention center, to restaurants, shopping at the River Side and Harrah's Casino. We had a King bed room, clean but dated. We stayed on the 23rd floor...HIGHLY recommend staying in the towers and choose a room higher than the 16th floor. There are different sets of elevators...L to 15th floor and another set 16th to 29th floor. Breakfast always had a long line...unfortunately it was due to staffing issues. Just ok. If you decide on breakfast, order ala carte...the buffet was definitely not worth the cost! I would stay here again while in New Orleans.
