My partner and I stay in guest houses and bed and breakfast on most vacations. We've stayed in many around the US. Never have we been made to feel more at home than we were at Royal Barracks. Kelly has honestly thought of everything you could possibly need. She's warm and welcoming; she's truly a gracious, southern-bred hostess. We stayed... More

I had to go to NOLA on business and decided to bring my husband along, and was about to give up finding a room in the quarter when I happened upon RBGH. I am so glad I did! I have been to the city three times now, and this was by far the best place I have stayed. First of... More

My husband and I stayed at the RBGH during the second weekend of Jazzfest. This place is located in the PERFECT spot for a visit to New Orleans. It is a few blocks walk to the Jazzfest bus, the Frenchman St. music scene, Port of Call, Envie coffee shop, the Old Mint, Decatur St, and French Market, just to name... More

Royal Barracks is a great New Orleans experience. Located in the east side of the French Quarter, you have quiet and are close to so much. You can be in the heart of the French Quarter in a couple of blocks, a short walk to the market and just a little further to Jackson Square. Kelly, who manages the place,... More

We only stayed here one night, but will definitely return for a longer stay at the Royal Barracks. I can't say enough about this cozy, comfy guest house. We stayed in the Gothic Room -- very cool decor (can you say hand-painted walls?!), super comfortable bed, and lots of the little things: really great-smelling soap, extra towels, comfy robes and...

It was our first trip to New Orleans. We stayed at the Barracks Gust House for two nights. What a beautiful place to stay. The Hostess (Kelly) was so nice. When we arrived, she met us with a beverage. Which was very appreciated after a long drive. Kelly provided us with recommendations of nearby places. The Guest House has so... More

We only stayed here for less than 12 hours the night before our cruise, but would certainly return on a trip to New Orleans. 1850's guest house with authentic restoration/decorations. Nice quiet corner of the Quarter. We stayed in the suite, which slept 4 comfortably. No breakfast, just the lodging, but it is located within a 5 minute walk to... More

We recently spent 5 nights at the RGBH, and we had an amazingly good time. Walking around the French Quarter, you see many colorful shotgun houses, but staying in one is even better. If you like low-key travel and you want to feel like a local, this is the place to stay. All of the rooms except for the suite... More

This was my first time in New Orleans and I didn't know where to stay. Royal Barracks was the cheapest room I found in French Quarter. $99 for the small Bunk Room. I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did! It was a fine room, for a SOLO person. (More than one person get a bigger room!... More

We stayed here for 2 nights before a cruise, it was great cause of the location and we could leave our bags when we got back the following Sunday and walk around before our flight left. The owner Kelly is so friendly and helpful she has great taste! The location is so close to everything you can go back to... More
