I was in New Orleans for a wedding and the wedding party had booked a group of rooms at the Bienville House and the more famous Monteleone just up the street. I chose the Bienville House because I enjoy the boutique atmosphere and I was fascinated with the pictures of its garden pool. The place did not disappoint. The rooms... More

I stayed here in May, 2013, for an extra day following a conference held at another hotel. I wanted to move to be closer to the French Quarter. I loved the quaintness of the hotel and decor. I had a 2 double bed room with balcony over the courtyard. The room was very large and beautifully decorated. I loved it!... More

We stayed for Jazz Fest this year, it was our first time staying at Bienville House. I love the historic qualities of the hotel and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was decorated beautifully, but had a musty smell and the bathroom was not very clean. Location is great, much quieter than hotels closer to Bourbon St.... More

Superb Location in the Middle of all New Orleans History and scenic area. Rooms are beautifully appointed with mixture of modern and antiques. Bathrooms are small but have all necessary amenities and quite comfortable. Stayed in balcony room, biggest drawback = noise.. About 5am trains and street cleaners and garbage pick up were out in full force!

We went April 20 - 25, 2013 to celebrate my 45th birthday. This hotel is the sister hotel to the Monteleon. I would have loved to have stayed there, but for the price, the Bienville House was a great choice. Very cute hotel with lots of charm, history and architecture. I booked the second category room to ensure we got... More

This is one of the few places in The French Quarter that allows pets. There is even a small grassy area for pet-walking a half block away (and grass is almost nonexistent in the FQ). The hotel is charming and deserves more than the 3* rating bestowed on it by AAA. The staff is wonderful, especially Beverly who always greeted... More

The hotel is located close to everything in the French Quarter but, luckily not in the middle of everything. So it's probably as quiet as you can get while still being able to walk to everything. Our room had plenty of space for us and our teenagers and the room and bathroom were clean with plenty of towels. The courtyard... More

A historic Inn on the edge of the French Quarter. Perfectly located for us with easy access to streetcars on Canal St., the riverfront, or Jazz on Frenchmen St. at the far end of the Quarter.
