We go to New orleans several times a year and we would definately return to the Bienville. Though this is an older hotel, we found the hotel to be more than adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a great location. The Mississippi River is just a few minutes away and you are very close to many of the restaurants and music venues. The pool area was a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle. The only problem we had was with the air conditioning/heating adjustment which staff fixed promptly.

Having not been to the French Quarter in a number of years, I was a little leery about the quality I would find in a Boutique French Quarter Hotel. The Bienville House far exceeded all expectations! Quiet, exceeding clean and tastefully decorated. The employees were gracious and helpful ----and one step out of the door and you are in the French Quarter just steps from all of the music, food, art, and night life that N’alins is famous for. We will certainly stay here as we are now planning a return trip.

We missed our first day in N'Awlens due to flight difficulties. The Bienville House gladly refunded our deposit for first night, despite a 72 hour cancellatiion policy. We ended up with a large balcony room for the same price as the large chains. This is great boutique hotel in the heart of the French Quarter but far enough away so you don't hear the madness of Bourbon Street. We loved it and would not hesitate to go back or recommend to good friends. Just book it.

We had a very nice stay at this lovely, old hotel - the staff was pleasant and helpful and the pool was beautiful.
