This is THE place to stay in the Quarter. Its close enough to Esplanade to get the fun of Frenchman and the Marginey, while being near all the Quarter can offer - but not TOO close to Bourbon Street and the noise (and occasional vomit smell that Bourbon St can offer). The Royal Barracks is quiet at night, I mean... More

My daughter and i stayed at Royal Barracks Guest House to celebrate her birthday weekend. We wanted to experience a small B&B or guest house to get a true feel of New Orleans' French Quarter. This was a perfect choice! Kelly and Sugar B were the very sweetest of hosts and both were all smiles when we arrived. By the... More

A buddy and I stayed at Royal Barracks Guest House during JazzFest. It was tremendous! Great location and as many advised Kelly was fantastic. We experienced her great hospitality, drinks with other guests in the evenings and a vast knowledge of New Orleans. The location is within walking distance of all French Quarter attractions and an easy transfer to Jazz... More

We stayed at Royal Barracks for 3 nights before joining cruise ship. The guest house lived up to all the reviews we had read being ideal for exploring the French Quarter especially after being advised by Kelly places to go to get the real taste of New Orleans. We booked the suite and it was everything we had hoped for... More

This was a tough one to review. Kelly the manager was extremely accommodating and helpful. We sat out and talked to her and her neighbors each night, as they sat out with a drink and chatted. The property is in an excellent location, at the north end of the FQ near Frenchman St. but close enough to the rest of... More

Twelve of us decided to go to New Orleans together, and we searched high and low for a place that was affordable and interesting. We settled on the RBGH, and we couldn't have been happier! We had almost the entire Guest House to ourselves. Kelly is an excellent hostess - always quick with helpful information or friendly conversation. She even... More

This isn't the place for posh accomodations and 24/7 service, but the location and charm very nearly make up for it. Kelly is a marvelous hostess: personable, informative, funny and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Kelly couldn't be more a more accommodating hostess. She took great care of us when we arrived early, shared excellent food and music recommendations (over a glass of wine), and made a cab reservation for us. The location was perfect; we could walk everywhere. It is so close to the French Quarter but very quiet. The courtyard was very relaxing.... More

On Barracks between Royal and Bourbon, you can easily walk to shopping and dining or nightlife, or take the opportunity to meet other guests and locals as they pass by the front steps. Kelly and Suga B are the best hosts, they can help you with where to visit and how to make the most of your trip. Stay out... More
