I visited the hotel during Christmas and it was wonderful. It was beautifully decorated and it felt so cheery. I had a room in the main building (not a courtyard or balcony) and it was great. It was cozy, quiet, and I slept so well in that bed. Me and my partner have been to New Orleans several times and... more

My wife and I went down to New Orleans the week after Christmas to get away from the family a bit. Though I wouldn't recommend this time of year unless you like the cold. We bundled up out side to brave weather. But the inside of the hotel was no better. It was freezing throughout the halls. There are many... more

I found this hotel in the Frommers travel guide, and it sounded quaint. I like boutique hotels, but this one seemed as though the owners did not really pay attention to details or care too much about them. Our room had a dresser with missing knobs, a piece of the wall had loose wires hanging out as though the fire... more

Visitors will either love it or hate it. There is a charming rustic authenticity to the Hotel Villa Convento that gives a real taste of New Orleans. The location is great! Its very close to the Frenchman's Ave. music venues and to the Balcony Music Club. The staff were always helpful, friendly and efficient. The property is old and shows... more

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary with four nights in NOLA. We selected Villa Convento because the building's unique old history and the great location, close to lower Decatur and the Marigny. While this original "House of the Rising Son" seems charming on the outside, it is in terrible disrepair, showing years of lack of maintenance and poor standards... more

We live in the New Orleans metro area, but were looking for a place to stay overnight in the French Quarter after a "Tales of the Cocktail" event--we knew we'd both be over the BAC for DUI. Made reservation at this hotel online because of the price and because we prefer family operated hotels no matter where we travel. Elevator... more

This is one of many small quaint hotels in the French Quarter. The hotel is family run and the family members were very solicitous and helpful at all times. The hotel is 3 blocks from the French market and even better- close to Frenchman Street- Check out all the clubs on Frenchman Street- you will feel like a local if... more

The hotel is in a great location, in a quiet street, close to everything. Front desk staff was helpfull, but the room we took was one in the backside, with wiew to the internal garden. The stair and the balcony were old, needing a urgent repair. They had blocked the end of the balcony with a table, so nobody would... more

We arrived in New Orleans late one afternoon having lost 20 IQ points for being tourists in a new city. We were warmly greeted by Warren who helped us get acclimated. Our only snag of the trip came from a tour we had set up for the next day. They had let us know that there were booking problems. Warren... more
