Disappointed this time.

Sorry to say that I can no longer recommend The Royal Frenchmen. I’ve stayed a few times before and it was great but this time there were several issues at check in, the hotel was not responsive on the hotels.com messaging feature, and the toilet didn’t work in my room. It was disappointing because previous stays were excellent and I hope they can return to their previous standard.

Reservation date mistake at hotel

The hotel could not find our reservation. Finally they did a search and found that in their system they had my reservation dates wrong even though they were correct in the hotels.com system and on my confirmation. The hotel staff never wanted to see my confirmation even though I offered multiple times. Finally the staff switched the dates in their system and we eventually got checked in.

Liked the location, walkable to Bourbon St, riverfront and Frenchman St. Disappointed in breakfast, was just bagels and waffles, cereals and coffee, I expected more. Showers were hit and miss, had a couple of cold ones! Air Cond did not work till the last morning we were there. I was given 2 free drink coupons as compensation. Would not stay here again.

I want to discourage everyone from staying at the Royal Frenchman… in order to keep this place to myself! Don’t stay here if want a modern hotel, with many modern amenities, lacking in character and charm. Don’t stay if colorful staff with a passion for the music of New Orleans ( which they bring nightly to the hotel lobby or courtyard) is not your thing. Don’t stay if listening to music wafting in from Frenchman street late into the night seems annoying. But you have a passion for the people, the food, the character and especially the music of New Orleans, then the Royal Frenchman’s your place!

I stayed at the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar with my dad during a last-minute trip to New Orleans. We booked an ADA room, which was affordable and met our needs after his knee replacement. Overall, the stay was decent—not terrible, but not the best either. The location is great if you love nightlife and jazz—right on the edge of lively Frenchmen Street, with live music both outside and inside the hotel. However, the nightly jazz performances make it difficult for light sleepers to get a full night’s rest. The lobby has charm but could use some maintenance and deep cleaning. Our room had a stale smell when we entered. While the bedding was clean, the stained desk chair and curtains, lack of luggage space, no full-length mirror, and a burned-out bathroom bulb brought the experience down a notch. There are also no windows to look out of in the street-level room, and noise from outside was constant. The courtyard was a nice touch, and rooms with balconies facing it might offer a better stay. I wouldn’t stay here again personally due to the location not matching my preferences, but I would recommend it to those who enjoy live jazz and a lively, late-night atmosphere.

If you want to stay near the beating musical heart of New Orleans, stay at the Royal Frenchman. Sizable rooms, nice AC, charm, character and steps to the best live music in the Quarter. Is there a chance you'll be awoken at 3am by a (darn good) trumpeter walking home? Sure, but if that s a dealbreaker maybe NOLA isn't for you.

The room itself was not that comfortable because the couch looked dirty, but they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom and were in the best location one block from the action of frenchmen street. It was incredible! There was a cute courtyard to relax in and the staff were super helpful and responsive so we would book there again.

The property itself is in the best location possible. It is very walkable to everything you will want to see and do. The property has a bar and has music nightly. We stated in room #207 we could hear the music in our room but to us it wasn't too load. We both fell asleep before the music ended. The biggest problem we had was no hot water in room. We didn't complain to management, I'm not sure other than switching rooms changing rooms.

Checked in and our 2 bedroom suite had not been cleaned. Lots of apologies and they got it done while we were at dinner. After 4 nights they never cleaned our room again. We requested it twice. They brought us 3 clean towels and 3 fitted sheets. It's a quaint little boutique hotel on the very edge of the French Quarter. Most of the employees were very kind, but never followed up on tgeir promises.

Location was good. However, owner and staff were unhelpful. We reserved a king room with balcony a month ago. When we got there they didn't have our reservation. By their own admission, their computer system is outdated and doesn't communicate with Expedia. We were due a refund off $108. They said get it from Expedia. Expedia said get it from the hotel. I guess we're screwed. The room we got was about the size of a walk-in closet. Very disappointed. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL OR EXPEDIA.

This is a great boutique hotel at the top of Frenchman Street (which is a more authentic version of Bourbon street). It's a great hotel and location for access to the bars, restaurants and live music the street has to offer - which goes on to at least midnight. Thus, if what you want is peace and quiet at 10pm then this is probably not the place for you! The room was lovely and to a high specification - however, whether we were at the end of a long pipe run, the hot water took and age to actually arrive, and it only just got hot enough to shower. Breakfast is also rather casual and a bit "hit & miss" (maybe they expected everyone to go out for brunch??). But we thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay - and would stay again if we were in New Orleans. There is no parking provided (we dumped our rental car on arrival in NOLA as you can use the Jazzy Pass to get around) but this a common issue and we planned accordingly.
