My husband and i stayed at the Bienville house for 3 nights for our wedding anniversary. This hotel is awesome! We had to park at the sister hotel which was only a block or 2 away, but we parked the car and never needed. This hotel is close to everything. You can walk to bourbon st, french market, jackson square, the river is across the street. The location is perfect. The hotel is beautiful, the staff was super nice. We met the "plant lady" while she cared for the balcony plants and she was so nice, and gave insight to the city. The pool is small, but we never used it. But the courtyard and pool setting is beautiful. We will DEFINATELY stay here again.

This hotel is in a great location - close to everything. Check out the record store just down the street and also the little candy shop, along with the very short walk to the French Quarter. Since we were headed out to the jazz fest, we reserved a spot on the Grayline bus and bought our ticket through them as well. The Grayline pickup is right down the street where the paddle wheel boats leave and they drive you directly into the jazz fest and back. It was easy.

Our room was very spacious and beautiful. The main room had a sofa bed, round table and large TV. The bedroom had a large bed, armoire with TV and attached bathroom. The thermostat only worked for the room with the sofa bed and so the bedroom was constantly at an icy temperature. Also, the first night they did not have any bedding for the sofa bed and couldn't find a blanket for it.

You need to pay for internet service.

Breakfast on the first morning was skimpy because they did not replenish, even 1/2 hour before they said that things were closing down. The person who was helping there was nice, though.

My husband and I just spent 3 wonderful nights in NOLA at the Bienville House on Decatuer Street. The hotel itself was very elegant. Location of the hotel was perfect, close to Cafe Du Monde and Jackson Sq. Close enough but away from the noise of Bourbon Street. Great for shopping, dining, and meandering the city. Also nearby to the River and riverside shopping, canal street shops. Harrahs Casino a few blocks away too. Also easy location to catch streetcar. The room we had was a standard with king bed, bedding was high quality and down pillows were included. For a standard room, it was huge! I would suggest the courtyard side of the hotel though, as there can be some noise from Decatuer Street, although we slept fine (compliments of good wine and/or a few drinks on Bourbon St!). Only downside was no fridge in room, but there was a 4 cup coffee maker.The bathroom was nice and very clean. Great amenties- very "boutique", bathrobes, high quality soap, shampoo, cond, & lotion. There was a light continental breakfast, bagels, fruit, muffins, juice and coffee. The courtyard was quaint, with a lovely pool, perfect to cool off after a hot day in New Orleans!

This is a lovely hotel in a great location. We absolutely fell in love with New Orleans and can't wait to go back. We'll definitely stay in Bienville House again.
