This hotel was perfectly located! On Bourbon St., an easy walk to everything but not in the center of the "crazy"! It's old with quirks, which was to be expected. Front desk staff was super helpful. No room service, but we didn't need it and didn't ask. Amazing balcony with view of Bourbon St. Late nights are noisy from the bar across the street, but we sleep with white noise. Bathroom was tiny with almost no water pressure in the shower. We stayed in room 21 the weekend before Halloween- no hauntings, per se, but some odd happenings. 
Here's the most bizarre story: so, I had been wanting another cat for several years and my husband didn't agree (he has mild allergies). On this trip, out of the blue, he says "let's get another cat". So, when we got home, we adopted a black cat, on Halloween, from the shelter and named him "Lafitte". Definitely some sorcery happening here, but I'll take it ! ;)
We would love to return one day!

Great, authentic New Orleans experience

My friends and I have stayed in many hotels in the French Quarter over the years, but this was easily our favorite one to date. I can't put into words how friendly and accommodating the whole staff was to us. Everyone from housekeeping to the front desk and the bar were extremely welcoming, fun, and friendly. I stayed in Room 21, but I had no idea it was haunted (turns out the whole hotel is haunted), but never heard any bumps in the night or saw any reflections in the mirror that didn't belong to me. However, we definitely had our encounters with "Marie" and the second floor hallway cabinet that the ghost kept opening in order to get a book for her daughter. One time we walked up the stairs and not only was the cabinet open (again) but there was a book laying open on the floor. Spooky as can be, but not scary. In fact, we loved it. 

Beautiful rooms, amazing staff, and a friendly ghost

My friend and I booked a girls weekend here just as Delta was ramping up. When we had to postpone because of Covid issues, they were so accommodating, offering us a refund or credit. We opted for the credit so we knew we'd make the trip. And from start to finish, the staff was so very friendly and helpful. Whether it was advice on things to do/see/eat or just hanging out with other guests at the downstairs bar (you will get talked into trying a voodoo daiquiri), we just enjoyed the atmosphere and camaraderie of the place. We had a 16 year old with us and even she loved it. 

The building is old and historical. The bannisters are lovely. There is local art on the walls heading all the way up. We stayed in Room 40, the loft. You can take the elevator to the 3rd floor but then need to walk up a flight so be prepared. It's a huge room with two large queen comfy beds, a sitting area, a small but functional bathroom, and a large well lit vanity for getting ready. The three of us could use the space. You have plenty of room to stretch out and not feel on top of each other. Also the views from this room are gorgeous with multiple vistas. As mentioned in previous reviews, you do need to turn on the water a few minutes before you want to shower so the hot water works it way up. I would also say the shower pressure could be better, but the rain water shower head is lovely. There is also plenty of drawer space in antique dressers/nightstands/vanity table if you like to unpack.  Lastly, I always bring ear plugs when I travel but was really surprised at how quiet it was given there is a bustling (also historic) bar across the street. We stayed during the week so that might make a difference. 

They also have a driver available for airport runs. Be sure to ask before you go!

Note that this hotel is said to be haunted. If you're sensitive, keep that in mind.

To sum up, an excellent location in the heart of the French Quarter that's just far enough away from the hubbub to make things accessible without all the noise.

Excellent Location - Excellent Service

What a warm welcome to a most fabulous historic home/hotel smack on burbon street!  I wouldn't want to ever stay anywhere else! I'll add pics later. You've just got to see this place! Converted 1800's mansion. Vintage. Beautiful staircases, bar, piano player on Thursdays. Relaxing courtyard. Balcony with tables and chairs. Complimentary coffee bar. Security cameras and locked doors. Steps away from all the action on burbon street, but free from the noise (I don't know how).

Most Fabulous!

This boutique hotel exceeded our expectations in hosting an event in the bar, piano lounge, and courtyard. They catered to all of our requests without any hesitation and executed our reception flawlessly. They go above and beyond the hospitality factor to ensure patrons and guests keep returning. I couldn’t recommend this space enough for your next engagement party, birthday party or wedding reception!

Simply amazing! Room with balcony was probably one of the best I ever stayed. Clean room and the entire hotel. Excellent service during my entire stay. Staff was very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend this hotel and when I return to New Orleans, I will be staying here again! 

Great Experience

This hotel has personality around every corner! Every room is unique and nicely decorated. The common areas are beautiful- bar, piano bar, balconies and courtyard. Ken was covering the desk for most of our stay was so very kind and helpful- shared local information and recommendations. The location is great with an easy walk to most French Quarter attractions. The ONLY thing that could be a problem is noise from the bar next door but did not keep us awake. Great stay- will definitely be back!

Fun boutique hotel in a great location!

Let me start off by saying we were clueless as to where to stay with so many options available. I stumbled upon this gem on the net and loved everything it had to offer and booked two nights for a little getaway. The location is great at a somewhat quiet end of Bourbon St. We were in room 21 with a balcony overlooking Bourbon St. It was great to sit out in the evenings and a great place in the morning to enjoy your coffee. The staff were impeccable and so eager to help with anything. The room was full of antiques and a four poster king bed which was very comfortable. The room was clean and lots of nice touches. My only complaint and actually more of a suggestion is some of the furniture s starting to show its age with pieces being broken, etc; might be time for a refresh. The other thing is the bathroom. The bathroom is very tiny and for a big guy a bit awkward. The bathroom is so small the door opens out and there is a step up with the vanity in front of you the toilet to the right and a small shower to the left. It’s an old property and it’s been retrofitted so I get it but it could use some updates. Overall this was a great place and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you to the staff for a great stay.

First trip to New Orleans 

Jamie and her staff are top notch! The quaint little hotel is at the end of Bourbon on the edge of the quarter. After dark, it’s the place to be with Lafitte’s blacksmith shop right across the street! We were able to sit on our balcony and watch the jazz band perform below! You won’t get better customer service in NOLA than at Lafitte Guest House!!

Amazing boutique hotel in an even better location!

The hotel is very cozy, charming and is located on the more quiet side of Bourbon Street. The staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and large enough. Will definitely return on a future trip. I later found out that it has a hunted history as well. maybe next time I’ll request a hunted suite...lol Overall good experience. Thanks
