I recently stayed 4 nights and enjoyed my stay immensely. I usually stay at a favorite hotel but since the hotel increased their rates significantly (maybe because of graduation weekend) I decided to research B&B"s in the French Quarter. I decided to stay at this B&B and it was a pleasurable experience. The Innkeepers (owners) Brian and Charlotte are very... More

Booked this B and B after reading some of the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, and I must say; its the first time I should not have listened!!!!!! Let me start by saying that during our stay Brian was not here, so we had to deal entirely with Charlotte. Arrived at 4pm and our room was not ready; Messy bed,... More

We’re very sorry that the guests’ experience wasn’t what they expected. Other guests have complemented the two of us on Gentry House’s friendly, positive, and helpful service … that’s what we’re accustomed to provide but it didn’t work for them. A few explanations might help put the comments in some perspective. The arrival date saw a complete guest turnover; when... More

I attended a conference off Canal St. for my first time in NOLA but wanted to stay somewhere in the French Quarter. The hosts were more than accommodating and even gave me food in the fridge so that I would have something to eat at the ungodly hour I had to wake up to get to my conference on time.... More

We had a bachelor party in June 2011 and our entire group loved our experience there and are extremely grateful to Brian and his wife for their help and hospitality. I am writing especially since we saw some negative reviews, which the group and I were all shocked at. Firstly, they are very helpful, genuinely interested in getting to know... More

My husband and I stayed at the Gentry House for the New Orleans stop on our honeymoon and had a lovely time. The room was cosy and comfortable (4* Orleans), but still big enough for us to spread out our suitcases with room to spare. The kitchenette was useful for breakfast and the bathroom was small, but who spends their... More

Gentry House is located perfectly a few blocks away from the lively heart of French Quarter. Though still in the Quarter, it is located just the right distance away of the bars so you can actually sleep at night. The owners live in the back house, while the 2 other houses around the cute patio are split in small flats... More

I am almost reluctant to review the Gentry House, since it's such a bargain. It's one of my favorite off-the-beaten-path places to stay. There are some things you should consider before booking, however! It's a few blocks from Bourbon Street (just a couple doors off Rampart). This can be a plus, or minus, depending on your preference. It's very safe... More

We appreciate the feedback … but can’t helping think it would have been even more useful if the guest mentioned it during the visit: we emphasize to all we’ll provide more orange juice, clean towels, linens, toilet paper, coffee, soft drinks and even light bulbs (can’t see how we missed that) to anyone who asks (we live across the courtyard,...

We love hearing when things go well ... but we probably learn more from hearing about things that didn't go well. During the guests' visit, New Orleans was going through a heat wave -- our fans and window units obviously didn't keep entirely up in our 1820's house. We are perplexed by the bedbug report: the unit was checked by... More
