The Blackbird is an amazing little hidden gem in NOLA! Alvin behind the desk was very helpful and made great drinks at the bar, as well. We did not get the opportunity to use the pool, but it was a beautiful space. The room was very clean and cute, and we were welcomed with a personal note and chocolates! It is definitely a great romantic and intimate place for couples to stay. The only slight issue we had was a slight price discrepancy between Hotels.com and what we ultimately ended up being charged for the stay. We will definitely be back.

The hotel was quintessentially New Orleans in its architectural style. The room was beautiful and clean. The common areas, including the bar, were comfortable, classic, and funky. The rooms could benefit from having a safe and a coffee/tea kettle or offering these essential morning beverages in the hotel lobby.

The Blackbird Hotel was perfectly located — we could walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go, from Magazine Street to great restaurants on Prytania, Central City history spots, Lagniappe Bakehouse, and more. Street parking was also surprisingly easy! The hotel itself is very clean and modern with a touch of historic charm. The pool area is beautiful, and both bars (inside and outside) were great with standard pricing for the area. They also offer a weekday happy hour from 4–6, which is a nice perk. The only thing that felt overpriced was the coffee shop — $7 for a cup of tea is steep. Service was friendly and efficient from check-in to anything we needed throughout our stay. Our room was chic, spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. My only downside was the value for the price. The hotel is boutique-sized and while it definitely has a great vibe, two nights at $860 felt pretty overpriced. Based on other stays, I’d expect this to be more in the $230–$260/night range. At that price point I’d 100% recommend it without hesitation; at the higher rate, I’m not sure it felt worth it, especially since there are other similarly stylish, walkable options nearby at a lower cost. That said, we still had an excellent stay and I’d rate the experience itself a solid 5/5!

It was an ok experience. The staff were nice. Since the weather was cold during my stay, the portable AC units were not working well in two rooms I stayed, unfortunately. I wish there was a kettle for boiling hot water.

No service, often times waiting at the front desk for a long time. Cockroach in room, did not service room one day, no bathroom amenities even though we got a suite which is just a slightly bigger room with a tiny closet (some rooms have no closets).

Staff and design stood out. However there could have been more staff on any given shift. Those who were on went above and beyond. Some three star boutique amenities were notably absent. Suite does not include a desk or sitting area so if working while traveling call ahead. Overall a great location, beautiful space with skilled people.
