WG Creole House 1850 is located in the Central City district of New Orleans, 800 metres from Union Station, 1.3 km from Morial Convention Center and 1.7 km from Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Featuring water sports facilities, the 3-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. Touro Synagogue is 3.4 km from the guest house and Uptown New Orleans Historic District is 4.5 km away.

I didn't have breakfast as I don't think breakfast was included. I did make myself a couple cups of tea in the kitchen/dining area. I think you could have used some of your own food in that facility. This is a wonderful place to stay. Most highly recommended. I would definitely try to book it if I were to visit New Orleans again. It is walkable from the train station although Google Maps does not provide the best route for getting there.

Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with wardrobe and dressing room. Some units are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, washing machine and a coffee machine, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. At the guest house, some units are allergy-free and soundproof.

The Dragonfly is a wonderfully eclectic period house with attention to architectural and decorating detail. It has every amenity (including a teapot) and Lore provides little touches that make your stay both comfortable and welcoming. There is also a lovely garden pool area for relaxing after busy days in the city. The bonus is walkability in a beautiful neighbourhood and easy access to the French Quarter. I highly recommend it and hope to visit again.

Offering a terrace, Bon Maison Guest House is set in New Orleans, Louisiana, right on Bourbon Street and 200 metres from St Louis Cathedral.

St. Louis Cemetery No 1 is 200 metres from Bon Maison Guest House. The nearest airport is Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, 19 km from Bon Maison Guest House.

Very centrally located on Bourbon St. So, if you're into the nightlife, that's perfect (Frenchmen St is not far if you prefer the vibe there, and sights, landmarks, public transport etc. are just a short walk away, too). Astonishingly quiet for being directly on Bourbon St., even if you have the room towards the street (to be sure, you'll hear a few drunk people outside, but I had no problem sleeping whatsoever). Great place for Poboys (NOLA Poboys) is right on the next block, too :) Beautiful inside yard. Terry was very nice and helpful. All in all a very nice, relaxing, and uncomplicated stay. Will try to stay here again, if I come back to NOLA.

Inn on St. Peter features simply furnished, modern guest rooms with private bathrooms. Guests will also appreciate features of the motel such as brick courtyards and iron-lace balconies.

The area surrounding the Inn on St. Peter is filled with activities and attractions. Guests can visit the French market, browse several shops or experience the vibrant nightlife of New Orleans. Guests also can easily access the river-front streetcar for a scenic trip.

The rooms are huge and very secure. The staff were lovely and the location is close enough to key places to be able to pop back as needed during the day. We stayed during Mardi Gras and while it wasn’t cheap, the price was good for what we got during that time.

Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals.

    Well maintained, clean and comfortable house in a great location, close enough to the city's main attractions in the French Quarter (all within walking distance) yet very peaceful and quiet with some nice neighbourhood cafés in the area. Check in process with the host was swift and easy. Highly recommended in New Orleans

    I think the criticism of this hotel is unfair. I nearly cancelled after reading some of the reviews. I’m glad I didn’t. This hotel is charming and billed as a 2 star so don’t expect luxury but it’s a quaint historic property in a great location at one end of Frenchman street. That means it is right in the midst of great bars, cafes and breakfasts. But we had a room set back off the street on the inner courtyard and didn’t experience any of the noise that other guests have complained about. Staff were lovely.

    Great hostel. Modern and spacious rooms (4 bed dorm) with washroom that had toilet and shower, plus sink in dorm room. Friendly and mostly efficient staff. Good lounge with daily happy hour for cheap beer. Only open to travellers, not for locals.

Beautiful guest house in a great location with free parking & very easy access to French Quarter etc via streetcar which is a few minutes walk away & costs only $3 for a 24 hour pass. Brent also booked 2 excursions for us. A real home from home.

    Our last visit was six years ago and we were very impressed with the remodeling of the hotel done three years ago. We choose the Pelham because of its value and great location; on a quieter street, but close enough to everything to easily walk. Also, it is a smaller hotel so you don't have to be held hostage waiting for the elevator on a 20 storey hotel.

    A beautiful home decorated to a high standard with lots of interesting features and dining area lounge to relax and read a book. Beautiful veranda out front to sit and have a cuppa. A quiet area and 20 minute walk to the French Quarter. Katie is a great host with lots of stories of the area and places to visit. Also does an amazing breakfast endless pastries and bacon and eggs and beverages just delightful. Highly recommend this wonderful home and Katie's hospitality.
