We had a great time at Lafitte's during the French Quarter Festival. The rooms and staff are awesome. Right in the best part of the Quarter, we were close to all of our favorite venues and had the peace and quiet when needed at Lafitte's. We will be back next year!!!!!

I had visited this property several years ago and truly enjoyed the location and ambiance...charming. Upon returning to the city and bringing guests with me, I booked accommodations there again. We found the property in the midst of a full renovation that both updated the rooms and maintained their charm. The complimentary breakfast and snacks were appreciated and thoughtful. We... More

With New Orlean's age and all, it was fun staying in an older home on the edge of Bourbon Street, but not in the middle of the partying, etc. The rooms are furnished unlike other hotels with older furniture which is a plus. The lobby/waiting room has artwork which is very interesting. There were 3 "senior" women in all in... More

This was a super-laid back place to stay. It is well located; lust a short walk to just about anything (or a bus line), but it is not in the thick of Bourbon St. We stayed in the off-season, and really enjoyed spending mornings reading a book on the kitchen balcony while having coffee. People live near this guest house;... More

This was only my second visit to New Orleans, and I didn't know the French Quarter well when booking the Lafitte Guest House. I was concerned about the Bourbon Street location (my son and I aren't huge party types), and as a result booked only 2 nights of our 4 night stay here, but I needn't have been. Even though... More

Dear vob1. It thrills me to learn that our efforts pay off!! I can't think of anything more important than cleanliness and the comfort of our guests. I will make certain that Ms E, Tangie and Yvonne, our housekeeping staff are aware that you noticed the great job that they do for us daily! As I order, I will certainly... More

My bf and I stayed at LaFitte Guest House on a recent visit to New Orleans. We wanted to be close to the tourist attractions of the French Quarter without all the chaos and debauchery. We hit the jackpot with LaFitte. The guest house is an old house transformed into an art gallery/guest house. We had a room on the... More

We were pleasantly surprised, very clean, exactly as shown in pictures we saw, location was perfect, within walking distance to attractions, so we never drove, kitchen was next to balcony, so we sat out and had beverages and food handy. They even had fresh coffee and WARM blueberry muffins and biscuits for breakfast! We had a wonderful stay!

Room was great. People, especially Kesha, are great. Very good location. Excellent service. Excellent price. We were able to walk all over town from this central location. There is an old time feel to the place yet the amenities are modern.

The staff at this great little hotel are extremely friendly and provide welcoming New Orleans hospitality. The quaint courtyard and art gallery are cool extras. The location is perfect as restaurants, saloons, and live music are all within walking distance.
