Ok, this is a guesthouse not a B&B! If you need perfection in your accommodations don't bother. No fancy breakfast or choclolate candy on your pillow here. What you do get with the Biscuit Palace is authenticity, charm and a funky quaintness that screams New Orleans! Located directly in the middle of all things French Quarter you just step out... More

Even though the reviews were mixed of the Palace, we decided to try this place because we like old and charming, and the location seemed great. We used to live in New Orleans so wanted a quirky old world experience. We have both traveled around the world and can stay in simple places, and as long as they are clean,... More

The location of this place can't be beat! Right in the middle of the French Quarter on Dumaine, between the gorgeous and funky Royal St and the crazy Bourbon street, although it is down some from the real craziness of Bourbon. Half a block away are the Clover Grill and a gay bar called Cafe Lafitte in Exile. The rainbow... More

Great location a block off Bourbon Street - shabby chic meets antique charm - although seriously in need of refreshing, this is a wonderful value - reasonably clean and very comfortable - the bed is awesome (no backache when I woke up) and the water pressure in the shower is excellent. Bonus is the mini kitchen with a fridge and... More

Our grown daughter stayed with my wife and me in the Burgundy Suite on a 5 day trip to New Orleans. We had the nice bedroom with the unbelievably great balcony 3 doors from Bourbon Street. Our daughter stayed in the front room. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean, the beds were very comfortable, the service was great and... More

The Biscuit Palace is a quaint, small hotel located just a couple blocks from Bourbon Street, and close to everything in the French Quarter. Surprisingly, it is extremely quiet in this location so you can sleep undisturbed. Their rates are great given the location and amenities. Each room is different and has its own character, but don't expect the Marriott.... More

We stayed on the fourth floor in the "Barracks" for three nights. As other reviewers noted, the Palace is rather fun and funky, very eclectically furnished and decorated and quaint. On the other hand, it is a little run down and you don't want to look too close at anything. The location is a HUGE plus, as well as the... More

I just don't get why this place is getting such nice reviews?! When we went to stay at the Biscuit Palace, we definately were not expecting a Hyatt or Marriott, but at least a Motel 6? Our room was filthy dirty, and smelled musty. We stayed the one night, only because we came in too late, to find another accommodation.... More

Stayed here with friends in Oct 2011, paying $105 & $135 for two rooms (one bigger & with balcony). I'd definitely stay here again -- this place was great. Pros: - one of the most affordable places in the Quarter. & I checked a bunch of them. - great location -- Dumaine & Royal, core Quarter, easy walking everywhere in... More

The fact that this place isn't always full to capacity is shocking. It's the best kept secret. Location is one of the great perks, as it's right in the middle of everything-a short walk from Canal, Decatur, and Royal, and yes, steps from Bourbon. But this isn't the type of place that attracts the grenade daquri-toting, bead-wearing set. The rooms... More
