    Beautiful, historic, well located building, providing generous and affordable accommodations.

    The noise was easily heard from the street, the rooms upstairs, and courtyard. The staff attempted to mitigate that by closing shutters. It's an historic building in a very warm climate, it wasn't a surprise that there wasn't a lot of insulation to middle the sounds, with beautiful brick walls and large windows. It was manageable from the room but less comfortable for the lounge area located in the front on the street level.

    The property was in an excellent locationto reach anywhere in New Orleans by walking or public transportation. The room (king bed room with sofa bed in the lounge area and kitchenette) was spacious and well stocked with all needed supplies. The air conditioning worked well and kept the rooms chill and comfortable. The pool was clean and cool after a long day in the heat. There were for codes to enter the property and the room, it felt very safe, the neighborhood was beautiful. The property staff and owners were accommodating, friendly, and added to the enjoyment of the stay.

    I had only 1 interaction with staff. The office was closed the entire time after check in. Would have been nice to have access to clean towels and even brochures in the office.

    Was a perfect place to lay our heads after the busy days. Very comfortable and spacious

    My home away from home! One of New Orleans best kept secrets, The Jean Lafitte House! If you’re looking for a place to stay that has history and New Orleans charm look no further. If you don’t like things that are “dated” and don’t like stairs this isn’t the place for you. If you want to be close to Frenchmen Street and all of The French Quarter things, but don’t want to be on or near Bourbon Street this is the place for you. Because let’s be honest about this the best things in New Orleans won’t be found on Bourbon Street! Be sure to book either the 2 bedroom suite or the 2 bedroom loft if you want to enjoy the views from the spacious balconies at The Jean Lafitte House. Both have plenty of space for a group of 4.

    The upstairs pullout couch needs a pillow topper or some extra padding. My kiddo could feel the springs.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The place is quiet and near everything we wanted to see. Frenchmen St is the best spot in New Orleans for live music, and it was just around the corner. The pool was a perfect way to cool off after being out and about. The suite was spacious and clean.

    No ice, no safe and we reserved a king bed. Our room had a queen. No housekeeping which was fine because we can take care of ourselves but there was a note saying that there would be a charge if we didn’t wash our dishes that I didn’t love.

    Loved the location and the size of the room. The team was friendly and very helpful. The AC and water pressure worked great and the bed was comfy.

    Amazing Property and Great Value

    • Two-Bedroom Loft

    The sofa bed was really hard. My kid made it work. And there’s a lot of stairs so be prepared for a workout. My only recommendation is that the rooms be numbered at the bottom of the stairs (I.e. #1, 3, 5 <—- and #2, 4, 6 —->) since I had to climb all the way up on the wrong side trying to find our room. I heard someone else struggle with the same. If it were noted at the bottom of the stairs it would’ve been easier. But nothing that prevents us from wanting to return.

    The location of the property was perfect for our overnight stay. We traveled as a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 children, & a baby) and the 2 bedroom was more than comfortable. It was close by everything we wanted to visit (French market, cafe du monde, boardwalk, Jackson square, and local eateries). Everything was within comfortable walking distance. It was also right a street over from bourbon street for those visiting that part of the French quarter. Everything was super clean. The beds were comfortable. There were ear plugs provided as well which was a nice touch (though I wouldn’t visit a party town and expect silence). The view from the balcony was great. Also can’t beat the price! We’d definitely love to stay again on an adults only trip.

    The tiny spiral stair case but that just part of the available room selection. The worst part was the blow dryer has not been used in a long time and there were cobwebs and dead bugs in the back that show if you just look at it. Cleaning crew should be checking these during the post gust cleaning. Nowhere to store clothes upstairs. It would help to add a few hooks on the upstairs wall; nice decorative hooks that would allow a few hanging pieces of clothing.

    The staff was super polite. The property grounds and rooms were very clean for the age of the property.
