Reviews of The Frenchmen New Orleans by Kasa LivingReviews of The Frenchmen New Orleans by Kasa Living

Great location, recent high-quality renovation, friendly people. I really enjoyed my stay. Pool is nice for a quick cool-down. Rooftop area was pleasant for planning my days. Close to the streetcar, Blue Bike station, Quarter, Bywater. The Marigny & Frenchmen St. in particular is a music-centric nightlife area (though not a zoo like Bourbon), so there is the potential for it to be noisy on weekends or in high season. Suggest you get a white noise app on your phone and stay out late having fun yourself ;)

We loved this place Our room was gorgeous! King room with balcony facing Frenchmen street. Can get a bit loud but it’s Frenchmen street and the hotel provides earplugs. The rooms with these balconies have windows you open up to walk out onto the balcony from but it’s not an issue. This hotel is a cross between a hotel and bed and breakfast feel. We loved it. Very private. The tv in the room is tiny, very tiny so be prepared. Here’s some advice on parking, it’s free in Sunday if you can find a spot where n the street but read the signs. Lots in this area are cheaper than Bourbon street for sure so that’s helpful but if you can find a spot after 7:00 pm on the street it’s free until 8:00 am so you won’t have to pay for overnight parking.

Hotel was cute, staff were nice… biggest issue was being told on arrival that I shouldn’t park anywhere in the area due to break in’s but then was given no solution on what to do then. I was told I could take my car to another hotel with valet parking if I didn’t want my car broken into. So I did it was an addition $100 and I had to walk a mile back in 110• heat. There’s tons of constrict going on so we were woken up each morning of our vacation by 6:30 am. Then when leaving I had to walk a mile back to the hotel that my car was parked at to come all the way back and get my things. Very unprofessional way to run things in my opinion. Won’t stay again nor recommend.

Romantic, cozy, authentic. Helpful, knowledgeable, kind staff meet all your needs with respect. Secure gate and door locks. A true hidden gem! Ask about the best safest parking before you buy somewhere (they let you pull up to unload and can help you from there if you’re as clueless as I was showing up it’s a life saver!) The best part, the whole music scene is walking distance from where you’ll lay your head!

I would definitely stay here again. The location was great. The hotel was very cool and the pool was amazing. The bar at the hotel was very nice and they have live music. The staff was also very courteous. Highly recommend!!

first time to the frenchquarter nice room, comfortable bed, the staff was great, the pool was a life saver & we had a great view of the 4th of July fireworks from their rooftop lounge! The hotel was a very short walk to the French market & streetcar.

Our stay was fantastic, loved the quaint hotel; it was just what we were looking for. It is romantic, historical/whimsical with modern amenities. It was walking distance to a lot of restaurants and the night activity was right there. It was nice to be able to stop by our room in between our roaming all around the French quarter. The bed was so comfortable which is always a plus; slept well. Definitely a 10/10 and will stay there next time we are in NOLA.

I am approx 190 lbs & 5' 11" & could not sit on the toilet because the sink was so close. The room was not big enough for 2 adults. Music was blared into the courtyard ALL night. The hotel staff were rude and not caring in the least. Horrible location even for the Marigny. We left after the first night and were offered Nothing. What a horrible damn mistake in hotel choices.

Goods: the staff was so nice and accommodating, the aesthetic of the hotel was appealing, the location is right in the heart of the action Bads: Not the hotels fault, but it was so so loud. The earplugs they gave didn’t really work so maybe they could give out better ones? I think they did such a great job renovating the place, it really was very unique!

This a great hotel for a weekend visit to New Orleans. Walking distance to everything, very clean, super cute and full of history! We loved it.

Wanted to love it, but... The property itself is beautiful, a well-designed renovation of a historic building. Lots of charm. The bed was very comfortable - mattress and pillows were great. Our bathroom floor was very dirty upon arrival and obviously had not been cleaned, despite having fresh towels. The floor had a significant amount of sand on it, and a quick wipe with a paper towel made it clear that the floor was very dirty. Being in a neighborhood like the Marigny/Frenchmen, where the streets and sidewalks are extremely dirty - you want to know that the floors of your room have been cleaned properly. This was not the case and naturally made us concerned that the rest of the room had also not been cleaned properly. Front desk staff varied from neutral to completely unhelpful. Of the four separate front desk people we interacted with, only one was informed or even interested in helping to answer questions. The retail items available for purchase in the lobby are great, but the staff knew little to nothing about the items, their pricing, or how to find them if we actually wanted to make a purchase. The pool area is very nice, just like the pictures. Free coffee in the lobby in the morning was a nice little surprise. The location is great (if you're not familiar with it - bring earplugs!) and very walkable. Overall, this is a very cute property with a lot of potential, and the price was right for our last minute stay. A refocusing on cleanliness and customer service would go a long way.

Very cute boutique style hotel.

Our room is impeccably clean!

Stayed here for a long weekend get away and it was everything we hoped for and more! Such a charming, boutique vibe. You get the feel of the history of the building, but with wonderful modern updates. We stayed in the Queen Balcony and had a great view of the street. Absolutely great location if you want access to good music - the whole street comes alive at night! So many great clubs to check out. Also highly walkable to the Trolley and other parts of the French Quarter. BUT WARNING- it is loud at night!! If you are looking to go to bed earlier, maybe not the place for you. But our room was supposedly the most exposed to music- they gave us ear plugs, and we used the in room speakers to put on white noise, and had no trouble sleeping. And finally, everyone that worked there was so kind and accommodating. Gave great tips and so so nice. Would definitely stay again!

Just a really well-done renovation. Full of style but still comfortable and welcoming. I found the location to be perfect, as well. And the staff was so friendly and accomodating. I will definitely be back!

Great location & Loud music Pros: Very convenient to jazz clubs, easy walk to French Market, Jackson Square. Lovely rooms, tasteful decor, nice staff. The jazz museum is very close by and on Tuesday afternoons, there is a free concert in the lawn area in the back. If you go to Envie Bar & Cafe,, you can sip on a beverage and hear the music. Cons: The earplugs at the front desk are there for a reason. I had picked this hotel because of the proximity to Jazz clubs. However, I wasn’t expecting to be hearing loud music until the wee hours of the night. Perhaps it was because I was in room 101 which is right by the street. When I asked to have my room changed, the morning Reception person told me to check with the evening person since they would know better if there was a room available. The evening reception person told me that I should have a checked with the morning person since the manager was there during that time. Not sure it would have made any difference though.

You can't ask for a better location for great New Orleans music. The hotel has been beautifully renovated and the the rooms were very comfortable. The hotel staff and managers were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. Visiting NOLA in the summer can be brutal to someone not used to it, so the pool was great for a quick dip to cool off. Made all the difference in surviving the weather. I highly recommend!

The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful! Loved the rooftop bar and the pool/patio area! Would definitely recommend!

Great experience

The hotel met our expectations, the location can be a bit much. If you want to sleep before 1am, stay elsewhere.

Wonderful hotel and hospitality! Great location for music as well!

We have a very small room. Also the fan above low acts as uf it wants to rip of the ceiling. The rest of the facilities are spot on. The customer service: Top notch. The location for evening night life is superb. Music, food ,drink....everything just steps away. Don't plan on going to sleep early, would be my only off note.

Great

Saw music in the courtyard..nice little spot

The staff was very accommodating. Ray and the rest of the staff were very helpful. Love the pool and the retro decor. We will be back. Primo location.

Perfect location for music lovers There are numerous music clubs nearby, presenting a wealth of choices for entertainment. We were there during Jazzfest, so clubs had more shows than at other times. Some shows began as late as 1 or 2 AM. The hotel itself was clean & comfortable, not deluxe, but satisfies all basic needs. Music spills out onto the street from the clubs, so not the quietest location. Plenty of casual restaurant choices within a short walk.

Price Gouging Due to no fault of our own or the hotel, we checked in a day late. When we did arrive, staff deceived us and told us that Hotels.com had cancelled our reservation and proceeded to charge us more than the original booking price (in addition to the missed night). They were disinterested in answering the phone or e-mails for follow-up. The building was beautiful and be prepared to hear street activity throughout the night.

Eclectic style stay Amazing atmosphere, friendly service beautiful scenery!

My first time to New Orleans and I couldn't pick a better place. The room was very comfortable and we had a balcony! It was minutes away from anything and the rail to downtown was a block away. All of the staff was great. It has a great little lobby, I loved the pool area and it is a block away from great music! Unfortunately the bar wasn't open when we were there but that would have been the icing on the cake. Still a wonderful time and a wonderful place with a bohemian feel!

BEST Amazing stay

Very cute and well kept hotel. Friendly staff, BEAUTIFUL rooms, pool, and property. Not for someone who doesn’t want a small room or needs a fridge, but with this location- WHO NEEDS THAT?!? This is a wonderful boutique hotel that is very pleasing and accommodating. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Property is adorable, staff is amazing. Walked around during the day. More comfortable Ubering at night. No elevator, rooms 2nd floor; however, staff carried our luggage up and down since we are seniors.

NOLA flavor Wonderful, old school NOLA place but with modern amenities. Lovely pool and hot tub, great security, super nice staff. Loved all the New Orleans flavor in the details of the art and building itself.

Perfect NOLA flavor Love this place! Cool (!), comfy room with a terrific old NOLA vibe. Great amenities, even down to ear plugs to help with overnight on a street that stays up late (I brought a travel white noise machine, personally). Really nice pool and hot tub in the courtyard (private). Staff was lovely and accommodating. Great little zen retreat with plenty of flavor.

The hotel is old built in 1860, but rooms have been upgraded to modern standards . The rooms are clean and comfortable, but noises at night from the local jazz clubs during weekends. Very quiet during the week east walking distance to French Quarter and jazz clubs. Highly recommended for the

The hotel was renovated and just reopened with new ownership. It is such a cool vibe with beautifully furnished rooms, a hip lobby and a cute little pool area. The bed was super comfortable. The bartenders make great drinks at the bar/music venue, and the upstairs bar is a nice private little escape. Awesome little escape from the Frenchmen Street action.

Spent 2 nights in this hotel and enjoyed our stay. Super friendly staff, very accommodating! We will definitely consider staying here next time we visit New Orleans!

Very charming. Staff super helpful.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful in finding local restaurants and hang outs! Highly recommend staying at the Frenchman!

Homely with excellent service Ideally situated for the bars and restaurants on Frenchmen Street and 15 minutes walk to the lively Bourbon Street. It’s a small and very friendly boutique hotel recently renovated. The rooms are very clean with everything you need. Only criticism would be the size of the beds in the smaller standard room. The rest of the room is compact but the fittings and furniture are tasteful. The service from Glinda and the rest of the reception team was exceptional. Always on hand to help and provide advice on restaurants and bands to see. I would definitely recommend this hotel which provides real value for money. However don’t expect a quite uninterrupted nights sleep. You are in the middle of a music district which carries on throughout the night into the early hours.

Had a wonderful stay at the Frenchman and will continue to book for future visits. All the staff are so friendly & helpful. Room’s are so cute and the courtyard is beautiful. Location is perfect!! Parking lot is close and accessible. Also, felt very safe.
