Pros: Price, amenities, location. Cons: The French Quarter location near Esplanade can be dark and deserted at night. We were upgraded from a regular room to a one bed room apartment and the room was very, very nice and comfortable. Our room and the entire hotel was spotlessly clean. Check in and out was efficient, courteous, and friendly. Our room... More

Location is good. But I rather stay close to Canal street on the border of downtown and French Quarter. We came in early and got our room. Front desk clerk upon check in was very kind. Hotel is old and outdated. We stayed for 2 nights in double bed room. Room was small and had strange odor. I smell that... More

We spent three nights at Le Richelieu. First of all, the location is perfect, within walking distance of everything in the French Quarter but away from the craziness of Bourbon Street. Frenchman's Street with its great music and cool restaurants is just a 5 minute stroll away. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable and king sized. The staff... More

We returned to New Orleans in April, 2013. We looked at other hotels in the area but none seemed to offer what we were looking for more than Le Richelieu. It is a quiet hotel with the atmosphere you expect from being in the French Quarter. The decor is beautiful and the staff is superb. The front desk can answer... More

For the past 4 years my wife and I have attended the Satchemo Festival in August located at the old mint on the edge of the Quarter. We have stayed at the Le Richelieu each time. The location to the Quarter is super. Walking distance to everything....Royal street, French Market, the Cathedral and Jackson Square, Bourbon street, Frenchman street.......and only... More

The property is located on the "quiet" side of the French Quarter, and is near the newly and nicely revamped French Market (1.5 blocks) and Frenchmen's Street (2 blocks just outside of quarter) which is THE place to go for great music (forget Bourbon Street!). The staff is 100% terrific--helpful, hospitable and friendly. The room we stayed in was very... More

This was a wonderful hotel for our stay in New Orleans. The location is perfect to be in the French Quarter but not in the madness. The building is historic and beautiful. The hotel is within walking distance to everything in the Quarter. The staff was accomodating when our reservation through Booking.com was a lower price than it was supposed... More

I have stayed at Le Richelieu dozens of times over a couple decades - alone, as a couple, with friends, with family, on business and for pleasure. It is privately owned and the charming owner lives on the premises. The hotel is quaint, quiet and welcoming. The staff, top to bottom, is friendly and accommodating. I have stayed in nearly... More

We've stayed here a couple of times. You can't beat the location. Nice rooms each stay with friendly staff. I love the on site parking, but not the extra fee. What do I expect, it's NOLA. We'd stay again and again!
