New Orleans Hotels in Treme

LOCATION,STAFF

YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR BLANKETS ,BREAKFAST VERY VERY POOR

The location was close to the French Quarter and close to other main streets. Other than the location the hotel itself is very laid back, not a lot of noise and the bed was comfortable.

Not the hotels fault but the street close to the hotel was being worked on.

We stayed at The Empress for Mardi Gras. The redeeming thing about it is its location. Walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. This place is undeniably cheap given this fact, so just be sure to plan a lot of activities that keep you out of it. This place should definitely advertise more as a hostel instead of a hotel.

Rooms are literally a bed with a toilet nearby. The only small window is high off the ground in a random spot in the room. There is no central ventilation (common in old Nola houses though), so you may need to frequently adjust the window AC unit or the space heater you're provided. The tub flooded as we showered so we started each day knee-high in water. The mattress was plastic covered, which is understandable given where we were, but there were stains and cigarette burns on the linens. At the end of your stay, there will be a walk through to get your $10 deposit back and to make sure you did not steal any of the sandpapery towels. Oh, and don't expect any privacy as the walls are literally paper thin. And be warned that another practice here is that you'll need to leave the key at the front desk every time you leave. Not bad, just odd.

The location is great, walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. The rooms are older, but like the perfect hostel. It has everything one needs to have in a hotel room in a place like NOLA. A bed, a bathroom. The staff was perfect and kind. We got a new TV in our room as an upgrade. If you read the other reviews it is obvious those people are used to spending too much for "classy" hotels. The Empress was the best hotel we have stayed in. The water in the shower was HOT, great water pressure, clean just old. I LOVE the Empress Hotel and will definitely be staying there again for sure.

The bed was a little uncomfortable, but there is absolutely nothing else I did not like.

Five Continents is a wonderful all-inclusive B&B! The owners were very accommodating and expected our arrival. The two course breakfast is incredible, as well as on-site parking with electronically controlled gate system. We stayed in the Asian Suite, and the furnishings were lush and comfort to the max! The bathroom was well stocked and everything was clean. The bed was just as comfortable as mine at home (and I'm a big fan of my own bed!).

I would say the ONLY downside to this lovely B&B is the location. It is just down the road from the quarter (about a five min drive), however it is in a slightly sketchy and rundown area. The surrounding houses are nice, but there's not the complete feeling of safety that you like to have in NOLA. You cannot walk to the Quarter, and a taxi cab may be required to avoid the annoying parking when exploring the area. All in all I would definitely consider staying here again, but the area and proximity to the Quarter was a big factor to me despite all the other AMAZING qualities this place possesses.

I liked that the owners were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the area.
