There is not one thing I would change about this property. From the first visual of the property you feel comfortable and when entering you are welcomed by a cheerful and helpful front desk manager. Our room was exceptionally clean and charming. The location is perfect only a few blocks from Bourbon Street, Canal, and Saint Charles Ave. The price to stay at this property was reasonable. Definitely would stay again, I highly recommend this property.

An all round excellent hotel. Safety - safe area, car park is secure with cctv covering it. The building locks at 5pm and a card is required to access it. Location - just fantastic. A short distance from major locations. The hop on hop off ticket office is located in the building and stops right outside so it’s an excellent way to get around the city and see all of the landmarks. Staff - phenomenal and went out of their way to assist. Hotel - quiet and spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed.

Great room

We had a lovely stay at The Brakeman Hotel. Our room was excellent — spacious, well-equipped with great coffee facilities, and offered a fascinating view overlooking the cemetery. There’s a small coffee shop in reception, but note that it doesn’t serve food and has limited opening hours, so this may not be the place if you’re after on-site dining. However, if you’re looking for a high-quality room, friendly staff, convenient parking, and a great location close to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, this hotel is perfect.
