Sweet Olive is a great value. It's a short walk from the French Quarter.... And even closer is the new jazz/creole district on Frenchman Street, where we heard tons of great music. Delicious coffee shop a few blocks away on Royal St. for the espresso fiends out there like me. Hosts are very sweet and accommodating. Rooms are clean and... more

I really enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely and we were pleased with our stay. From reading some of the other reviews I would have to disagree about not feeling safe. How could you not feel safe with the police station right across the street. The only problem I had with our trip was that we were unable to... more

I don't know how we could have had a better experience in New Orleans at any price. Our room (the Cypress Room) was spotless and soothing. We loved the lack of fussy florals and Victorian decor so prevalent at other B&B's. We absolutely felt safe at all times, even when we came in from a late dinner. The breakfast pastries... more

Ah…………New Orleans, one of my favorite cities!! It’s thriving and making such a comeback since Katrina. What could be better than the Sweet Olive B & B, nestled within Faubourg Marigny and easily within walking distance of the French Quarter. If you’re in a hurry it’s a 15 minute walk. If you take the time to enjoy the diverse, eclectic... more

The character, not to mention the history, of this 140 some year old home is evident the moment you walk through the front door. The high ceilings and architectural details are wonderful…if only walls could talk. The hospitality of David and Dale, and their knowledge of New Orleans will knock your socks off. Their love of Mardi Gras and the... more

The Sweet Olive B&B is the perfect spot from which to venture out to explore the exciting city of New Orleans. This B&B is biker-friendly, allowing for off-street, secured parking. It boasts the most gracious hosts (Dale and Dave) who know the ins and outs of their city. They are happy to tell you about its rich history and help... more

This was my most recent of many stays at the Sweet Olive. It is the only place I will stay in New Orleans. The Sweet Olive is an obet d'art, having been painted inside by the former owner, one of New Orleans' top muralists. Each room has different theme and all are comfortable with good baths. The Sweet Olive is... more

I had a great stay at this Bed & Breakfast. It felt like a second home. Everything I needed was right there. The owners went out of their way to tend to their guests, as did their housekeeper, Miss Clara. The house is clean, quite large and beautiful. The rates for rooms were extremely reasonable. It's in a great neighborhood... more

My husband and I spent 6 nights at the Sweet Olive in April 2009. We stayed in the Magnolia room, which has a queen bed and ensuite bathroom. Despite the reports of a couple recent reviewers, we found the room to be clean and pleasant. It was a reasonable size, had a very high ceiling, air conditioning and the bathroom... more
