The elevator was hot & muggy like a sauna & it sounded like it was going to break. They should disclose on all websites that the parking, the pool & the fitness center are not located at the same location as the hotel, that is very deceptive. The bellman/vehicle staff could be a little more helpful/enthusiastic at times. The beds were very comfortable, I had no problem falling asleep. The front desk people were very helpful & kind. The location was amazing, it is within walking distance to almost everything. The rooms were very clean & felt very homey.

Our first visit to New Orleans and we lucked out by staying here. The location is perfection, being very close to the action, but just out of the range of the noise. The walk to bars and restaurants is mere minutes, and there is so much around here for breakfast and dinner, and the Riverside Outlet is just around the corner, as is the steamer boat and the tour meeting point for all the trips you could ever want. Aside from the location being perfect, the hotel is too, with just the best staff, being the loveliest people, and so helpful. We will be back, and will not hesitate to come back to Bienville House - in fact, we'll make sure we do. All in all, it couldn't have been more perfect, which is normally tricky in NOLA.

Staff not welcoming or friendly at all. Rusty curtain rail in bathroom. Ants crawling on wash basin. Staff indifferent and unsurprised when I mentioned the ants. No apology, nothing. I had a night booked before and after a cruise. I cancelled the after cruise night and stayed somewhere else.

The historic property provides guests the opportunity to get into a building constructed in that french quarter style- long exterior porches with little porch/courtyard areas for each room. Absolutely charming and appointed in a higher end, classic southern design. Colors, art, linens (heavenly!) and drapes are authentic to the quarter but not over the top and exhausting. Last thing- the beds and linens sleep VERY WELL. Heavy weight cotton, excellent daily service. Perfect.

We purposely scheduled our visit well after the Mardi Gras parades, not particularly liking crowds. We arrived to find the entire area teaming with life and crowds. It seems that some of the Mardi Gras parades and festivities were postponed until St. Patrick’s Day, due to severe weather in February. But the room we had booked at the Bienville House had a wonderful balcony overlooking Decatur Street, which turned out to be the parade route on March 17th. We had the best seats ever for a crazy parade!
