Luxury Hotel

The location was great - at the end of a little lane way off the main street, so it was very quiet. Right in the centre of the the French Quarter, and only a few blocks from the lake. The room decor was old-style, which didn't bother me. It had all the facilities we needed. I loved the big bath!. It has a lift. There is no common area apart from a lounge in the small lobby, but lots of cheap restaurants nearby, so not having breakfast supplied was not an issue for us.

Why is it rated so high… No vibe here at all-it’s a hotel and the staff are constantly trying to sell you tours, over and over again it’s really annoying. Mosquitos in the room, weird toilet and shower set up, be careful not to get wet when using the sink. There is no sound proofing so you will hear people on the toilet as you wake up. Loud talking in the room in middle of the night on phones and conversations in Vietnamese. I didn’t extend and moved to another hostel.

Luxury in name only and a little dated but perfectly comfortable and an amazing location - very central in old quarter but somehow not at all noisy. Staff were absolutely lovely and full of tips and super helpful. It was clean and the facilities were fine - nothing fancy but perfectly adequate for our stay. Would recommend for location and staff and incredible value for money. No communal area really if you’re looking for that.
