Great location on Canal/Bourbon St. Close to French Quarter Restaurants, Street Car lines, All French Quarter entertainment. Our room was in the old building. Looked out on a roof. They have a good bar and place for breakfast. Since we were seldom in the room it was a great place to stay. Paul, the Concierge was good, friendly and helpful. More

This is an older hotel in great condition with a beautiful interior. The rooms are very nice and the beds are comfortable. The location is prime, being right on the corner of Bourbon Street. While this is a great hotel for a romantic vacation, this hotel would be a poor choice for business travelers or families with children. Pros: Excellent... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Astor. We seemed to have meet your expectations regarding room size, cleanliness and location, however I see we have missed in other areas. Sorry to hear about your iron and ironing board, we certainly could have replaced it with a simple call. Just so the rest of our... More

Although I initially wanted to stay in a smaller, bed and breakfast, boutique style hotel, I was happy with what $180 a night paid for at The Astor. The only major bummer, in my opinion, is the lack of hot tub. The best part of staying at The Astor was the fact that it is located right at the intersection... More

Thank you for taking the time to review the Astor. We agree, our location is one of the best in the city.

Stayed in this hotel in November of 2011, when we earned a free trip to NOLA. The hotel was pre-arranged for us, and knowing the company that arranged the accommodations, we had confidence that it would be an outstanding place. The customer service was awesome. The concierge was quick to answer any and all questions and made several calls on... More

We stayed here during the Sugar Bowl/New Years Eve. We had a GREAT time! The location can't be beat! Rooms were clean and had a view of Bourbon street! I gave the rooms a 4 because there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom. Beds were SOOOO comfy! We will definately stay here again next time we're in NOLA! More

Quite disappointing to read your review because we obviously missed on your stay all around. I truly wish to apologize for the challenges that occurred. Normally, it is our staff that makes the difference with our guests, but again not even our normal southern hospitality seemed to have touched your experience here at the Astor. It is disheartening to read... More

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza January 27-29, 2012. The location of this hotel is perfect...On the corner of Canal and Bourbon streets. A little noisy but you have to expect that when staying that close to Bourbon street. The hotel is very pretty -- Nice lobby. Our first contact was with the valet folks.
