We have stayed at Soniat a few times prior to Katrina and are hoping to visit again before the Christmas holidays this year. This is a wonderful place to stay for a true sense of the Quarter. It is a private, courtyard inn so you are without the chaos of a lobby on Bourbon Street. There is a concierge who... more

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Soniat. While not as bad as some reviewers have indicated, we've stayed at better hotels. The good: Very quiet, lots of antiques. We were upgraded from jr. suite to very large suite with 2 full baths, king bed, large livingroom area. Frette linens and towels were great and always replenished for... more

I was expecting a luxury property as their ads publicize & was excited to find a 50% summer price reduction rate. We booked a standard one bedroom and even at about $140, I was disappointed. The larger suites were a different matter. Those rooms are much larger , furnished with antiques & next to the outdoor balconies that overlook Chartes... more

Good : The Soniat House is a nice example of historic New Orleans architecture. The doormen and waiters are extremely friendly. The hotel is conveniently located in the French Quarter. Bad : The rooms are a bit dingy. They could use an interior decorator and a paint job. The AC unit in our room was very loud during our stay... more

Extremely disappointed. I booked the Soniat House in Novemeber for the Jazz fest in May and was guaranteed a King bed Junior Suite room so that is why I upgraded to the outrageous $425 a night before taxes. We were put in a subpar room which was very small with a queen bed and a very tiny bathroom. I went... more

I live 2 blocks away from the Soniat House and I have always loved the neighborhood we share and the ambiance of the hotel in general. My parents stayed in a suite the week of my wedding and my bridesmaids and I all got ready at the Soniat House. The staff was absolutely amazing to my parents and to my... more

I am saddened by the other family not having a great stay. We brought our two boys 8 and 11, and shared a two bedroom suite. The place was charming, the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly to the children. The place is unique with wonderful tall ceilings and beautifully appointed rooms. more

Management was very unhelpful and rude. My family has stayed here for years and enjoyed the experience, until this visit. We were told at 10:30pm the night before check in that children under the age of 12 were not allowed. This would have been O.K. had this information been provided to us at the time we booked the room. Or... more

This is a late review for a stay last summer. After reading a bad review, I just had to put my two cents' worth in. I think this property is wonderful. Arriving on a sweltering July day, my husband and I were escorted in by a gentleman (a word I do not use lightly) to the "office", which looks more... more
