We arrived at the Villa Convento about an hour and a half prior to check in time, hoping we could drop the bag off, maybe park the car and stroll a bit before the room was ready. To our pleasant surprise our room was ready when we arrived! We were lucky to find a parking spot on the street right... More

The people who work here are very friendly and accomodated your needs. Gave great hole in the wall places to eat cajun and cheap fried food. Even invited us back to party that night. Relaxing balcony view but still only a few blocks away from the bar scenes. Awesome experience will always stay here on future returns. :)

On arrival into Room 103, we first had to kill a cockroach - luckily he was the only one we saw. We then experienced all that New Orleans had to offer getting back rather late at night. We were woken rather early by the sound of the rain hitting the AC outside and the noise was incredibly loud! Had no... More

Just around the corner from Royal St - great area close to Bourbon St and Jackson Square. Loved the internal courtyard (our room was just off it). Check in easy and Vincenzo was helpful advising us of location of shops etc

Old house converted to hotel. so there will be creaks from the floorboards and thin walls. Close to Bourbon St. but far enough that you don't hear the late-night bar-scene. Comfortably-sized double room with antique furnitures (we got the room with the middle balcony on the 3rd floor). Staff is friendly, as is typical of the people in New Orleans.... More

I and a couple of friends stayed at this hotel for three nights. The Hotel's location is perfect for exploring New Orleans. It is about two blocks from the riverfront street car which can take you to the business district, though Not quickly. I found walking from the hotel to any place in the French Quarter a pleasant experience. The... More

We just got back from 5 days in New Orleans and we spent 3 nights at the Hotel Villa Convento. New Orleans was great. The Hotel Villa Convento was very disappointing. We checked in early before our room was available. First mistake – we weren't able to inspect the room prior to paying. Later, when we went into our room,... More

We always regret when guests do not enjoy their stay here. Our hotel renovates rooms often, balancing that with our desire to provide affordable rates in the French Quarter. There is absolutely no policy that places certain guests in "renovated" rooms and others in "non-renovated" rooms. All of our rooms are ready to receive guests. One might also note that... More

My first stay at the Hotel Villa Convento was in about 2002 (or so) and I have returned many times since. It never fails to be charming, hospitable and character-driven. If you are looking for a slick chain hotel with tons of amenities, the HVC may not be for you. But if "you know what it means to miss New... More

I stayed here solo in Dec. 2012. Yes the place is old and could use some TLC and $$ put into it but considering it is over 160 years old it shows pretty well. The location is very good. The staff is excellent as other reviewers have pointed out. I stayed in room 102 which is in the courtyard. It... More
