Lion's Inn is a lovely B&B in Faubourg Marigny -- my favorite neighborhood to stay in New Orleans. The property consists of two side-by-side houses that have been converted to guest rooms. The garden out back has a pool and a hot tub. The garden area was a welcome respite when I was too tired or just wanted some quiet... More

A very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing retreat within walking distance of the French Quarter. They offer complimentary bikes for those who are interested as well as an complimentary wine and cheese hour. The pool, garden, and pond area is well-maintained and very enjoyable.

a quiet small and clean retreat where u feel safe and comfortable and with the jazz and restaurants close by in Marigny you do not need to go to the French Qtr every nite ... and Ed is most cordial and gracious.

Lions Inn is in a quiet residential area of Marigny, about a 10 minute stroll from the French Quarter. The rooms are clean but a little on the small side, with limited storage. The garden and pool area are magnificent. There were so many nooks and crannies, to interest, in such a small space. It was pretty and peaceful. Ed,... More

This B&B is a little oasis to relax from your sight-seeing in New Orleans. Nice (unheated) pool, a jacuzzi / hot tob, and a beautiful pond with goldfish in a small but inviting and lush tropical garden. We really liked to spend some time there in the late afternoon, with wine and cheese which were offered as a complimentary service... More

We were completely new to New Orleans, unsure about good areas to stay. Suffice it to say that Lions Inn fitted the bill perfectly. Quiet surroundings, (with free parking!) just a short safe walk from the French Quarter, and with restaurants and music venues just round the corner, the location could not have been better. We walked the streets at... More

I am not sure who this Floyd character is who keeps coming up all all these older reviews, never met him. Ed was extremely accommodating on our stay at the Lion Inn. The Inn is in the perfect location for my taste, close enough to the quarter for an easy walk (especially Frenchman St.), but far enough away that parking... More

Since Ed has taken over this B&B everything is just perfect. Nice rooms, breakfast included, exceptional pool, hot tub, walking distance to the French Quarter and the best of all - Ed. He is an outstanding person, always available to help and to give you excellent tips a a local that grew up in this area.

This B&B was in a great, quiet location of the city but close enough to walk to the French Quarter. The backyard is beautiful with a hot tub, pool and stunning garden/pond area. The manager was always a great help and was very accomodating. My only complaints would be the massive cockroach we found in the corner of our room... More

I stayed at the Lions Inn B&B for 4 nights and was thoroughly happy with my stay. The owner, Ed, was very friendly and accommodating. There was a nice continental breakfast every morning, and every afternoon there was a wine-and-cheese hour for those who were around. My room was clean and comfortable, and even though I had to share a... More
