I noticed I was charged additional $23 and when I called the hotel for the reason they said I drank from the alcohol from the fridge. Look I don’t mind paying if I actually drank from the fridge but I didn’t. The gentlemen who I spoke to was snippy and said I go based on physical evidence, instead of hearing me out. I spend easily 100 bucks on there outside bar so I wouldn’t be calling for no reason about $23 bucks. Never have I experience this before and I travel frequently. Definitely won’t be coming back to this hotel.

Being from the NW, my daughter had never seen a roach (the size of about a 50 cent piece) before. It was not due to lack of cleanliness, but just snuck in as we were bringing in our luggage

This property has a great location on Frenchmen St. That being said, it is noisy in the evening. But the grounds were beautiful, well kept, fresh, and the staff was very accommodating. They serve strong coffee, tea, and fruit to get you on your way in the moring.

The property is lovely but the building across the street is a complete eye sore - graffiti broken windows. It’s such a shame. The hotel is funky and has a private bar, pool, hot tub. But the area has gotten rougher post Covid. Not the Frenchman’s fault - but as a heads up.

Visited the Frenchmen Hotel as a solo traveler in Nola. My stay was convenient and cozy. The staff was friendly and helpful in giving recommendations nearby. My only disappointment was that the power went out in the area for half the day, serving as an inconvenience as I was getting ready. Although not the hotel’s fault, there was no comp for the inconvenience.

The Frenchmen is a perfect location to explore the music and vibe of the Quarter without a lot of the traffic. Our room was very tiny, but efficient and the bed was clean and comfortable. It is a good budget hotel with character. There is no breakfast however the lobby coffee pot wasn’t reliable either. Scope out your breakfast options beforehand. “Who Dat?” Cafe is a trek but has great coffee and breakfast.

We booked The Frenchman due to the nostalgic look, we did read some of the reviews and wondered how bad it could be. When we arrived for check-in we had to be let in as the main entrance was locked. When we were offered a complimentary pair of earplugs that should have been our first clue. We checked in and went to find our room. We booked a queen room and that's all it was, a very small room with only a full mattress, not queen. The room was extremely small and the bathroom was smaller. It certainly was not like any of the pictures on the website. We spent the night and pre-booked at another hotel.

We had a very nice stay at the Frenchmen Hotel. The location is right at the end of Frenchmen street which is great if you want easy access to many music venues in the French Quarter. We went out of season so it was relatively quiet but would be very noisy in season.

Will come back
This is not the first time in this hotel. And we will come back again. The room was very small, but quiet, despite the festive atmosphere of Frenchmen street. The staff was very courteous. The Nola decor is what we were looking for. And I can't thin of a better location in the city: Frenchmen street is where the music lives..

Built in 1860, the hotel is very old and quaint. It was in a great area with everything within very close walking distance. The room was clean and bed very comfortable. You are not staying at a 5 star hotel with all the services but for us, it was great since we were never in our room anyway. If you are bothered by noise, don't get a room on the street. Our room was in the courtyard so the noise was not an issue. I would stay there again.

Beautiful and great loacation
This hotel is gorgeous. Everything I wanted from a beautiful New Orleans building! I didn't go in but the pool was stunning. Air con and fridge in the room. Corner shops nearby for water etc. The location was perfect. Right next to the french market, street car stop and frenchmen street bazaar and pubs. The noise didn't keep us awake at all and we were directly above reception next to the stairs. The Tiki Tok was great next door too. My one and only issue was that we were there for 5 nights with lots of luggage and there were no drawers or wardrobe for our clothes. We were in america for 17 nights and could have done with somewhere for our things. Instead of the quite usless desk under the TV, a huge set of drawers for storage would have been so much more helpful. Our room was large and could have handled lots more storage options. A full length mirror would have been nice too. Even if it was in the hall! All we had was some hangers on wall hooks. The bathroom was clean and very nice. The decor in the place was fantastic. I would return to this hotel in a heartbeat. Despite the lack of storage, as everything else was great. If you do have large cases, be aware there's no lift. BEAUTIFUL hotel.

Great location and Gorgeous Decor
The pictures do not do this place justice! It is beyond adorable and eclectic! There’s a charming blend of modern and classic in the decor and art work. The beds are so soft with really good linens and pillows. The service staff is beyond amazing! They were able to check us in early which was great because we needed a nap. They have an amazing tiki bar with classic drinks and a rooftop patio. The location is perfect! It’s on the south end of Frenchman (live music) and a short walk to the main drag and Jackson Square. You really feel a part of the city!

All of the ‘Yes’!
The Frenchmen was PERFECT. The pillows were to die for- majorly comfortable bed that made me want to stay in all day if it weren’t for the NOLA life calling me out. Perks: Bed Great A/C Design and decor were perfection Easy check-in & check-out Great location- blocks from the quarter Coffee- the lobby coffee in the morning was delish! Minor Negatives: Frenchmen St is LOUD at night. Cars parade by with subwoofers. I was in room 209 which was on the inner part above the pool. It wasn’t a problem for me but if you’re sensitive to noise, take note. Water- the water temp in the room was only warm and hot. No cold water :( Text Communication- a little overkill TBH No microwave- NOLA food calls for leftovers. Wish they had a communal microwave at least. Overall HIGHLY recommend. I’ll be a regular!

The Frenchmen Hotel is a must for anyone keen on exploring the cultural scene in New Orleans, without any of the trashy chaos of Bourbon Street. We also found it extremely affordable for what you're getting out of it. If you're looking for a spot at the edge of the French quarter, in walking distance to virtually everything, with all the jazz, blues, deep roots, and southern cuisine that Frenchmen Street has to offer, then this is the place for you. There's a gorgeous pool under an open sky available to patrons at all times, the staff are very attentive and kind, and the rooms are fun and clean. The only thing to be aware of (and they'll be the first to tell you via text message in advance of your stay), it is very loud right up until around 12am for most nights, and up to 3am on Friday and Saturday night. But if you're willing to plan around that rather than resist it, you'll be fine! You're on vacation in NOLA for goodness sakes! Live a little :)

Absolutely loved this place!
We LOVED this place. After reading other reviews about noise and feeling scared to book beforehand, it’s NOT that loud. Once inside the room I never heard the guests next to me, and the street noise was very muffled unless something was happening right outside the room on the street. Had the old hotel feel to it with very tasteful styling for the room. Very large room, high ceilings, tall windows, nice private restroom, Also felt very safe with the security setup for keys for the hotel, have to have a key to enter the lobby off the street given to you after check in and separate keys for rooms. Also courtyard has a pool and Hot tub, and there is a chill bar area attached to one side of the hotel with a lower level and upper level for hanging out, bar closes at midnight, and access to the street for the bar closes down too. It was fun going to the bar after walking around before going back to the room. We had a balcony room with Frenchman street view, and you have to raise the big windows up and walk through them like a door to get to the balcony, very cool. I would book this place again and have already recommended it to a few people I know who visit there. Also asked several locals and even Uber drivers and everyone said Frenchman street is where it’s at for fun and music. I also personally parked my vehicle in a parking garage with security at 930 gravier and caught and Uber back to hotel after unloading and had no issues.

The property is beautiful. Just what you’d expect from a historic property in this area. The pool is beautiful. It’s easy to walk to Decatur and there are a ton of bars on the block. There is also a rooftop and bar at the hotel. Because of it, it had its moments where it was loud but it wasn’t too bad. Check in was super easy and staff was friendly.
