Due to a late reservation I didn't get my room of choice, but had to be on the sundeck, which is actually the roof. Trust when they say check in is 4 pm. Got my room at 4:05 pm My room still wasn't ready but they did find one in my catagory that was. Maybe because I was sitting in front of them for over an hour lol. The property is a little old, again only can speak of Sundeck room, but it was very clean and the daily maid service was ok. If something was missed they quickly provided it. Note my room was 401 which is right off the elevator. The roof is like an X. You may have to walk down a hallway and rooms are around a corner. Kinda scary and dark. Glad my room was where it was. Nice amedities in the room and the bed was comfortable. Advertising an expedia was wrong. No breakfast is available and if it offers a tour credit the hotel doesn't know about it. Not their fault though. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Great location. On Decatur which has the best shopping and most restaurants. Very quiet and close to Streetcars and Canal Street.

This is a historic hotel. So everything will not be perfect. I will absolutely come back for 3 reasons: 1. Staff was wonderful. 2. Connected Latitude restaurant and bar were one of our favorite spots. 3. It’s near and convenient to everything! Things to consider: if water pressure or perfect quiet are needs for you, this might not be your place. The building is old and pipes are old so water was difficult to rains and lather. Just take a longer shower. Walls were very thin and we could hear our neighbors conversations and even snoring. White noise YouTube playing overnight solved that.

Staff was wonderful!l I have a few suggestions The temperature in each room could not be adjusted and it was freezing in the room The shower was beautiful but the water pressure was not good lastly, the ac units were in a closed outside of the room and were very noisy We asked to change rooms but the hotel was full. We enjoyed the balcony and the beds were very comfortable!

I recently stayed at Bienville House, and while it's a charming hotel, it's definitely on the older side. The building has that unmistakable 'old' smell, which might not appeal to everyone. If you decide to park your car at the hotel, be aware that it gets parked at their sister hotel a few blocks away, which can be a bit inconvenient. On the bright side, the staff were wonderful, especially Mailani and Beverly, who went above and beyond to make the stay more pleasant. One downside is the hotel restaurant doesn't stay open late, so keep that in mind if you're planning on dining in. I'm still undecided if I would stay here again.

I have been traveling to New Orleans for over twenty years and have usually stayed at Bienville House. I havent been since before Covid. The hotel is good but in need of updating. The lobby has ceiling pieces missing. The furniture in the room was worn and dated. The mattress would roll you into the middle of the bed. There was no shower pressure at all. The staff was very kind and helpful. It’s in a great location. Unfortunately, I will not stay there again.
