Nice hotel in a great location, but very overpriced. The room was small and not very well maintained. Parking was also overpriced and the scratched my spouse's custom car when the valet parked it. more

Just returned from a long weekend with 14 friends celebrating a couple of big birthdays. We booked a pool baclony room and upon (early) arrival were given what may be the worst room in the hotel. It was right next to the laundry room, was VERY loud and had no balcony. After waiting on hold for 5 minutes, we returned... more

Very nice hotel. The reception area is extremely nice. The rooms are also very nice with large flat screens although they are quite small. Very good breakfast. Very good location though as a result quite noisy. more

While the hotel itself was very pretty and luxurious looking, we were not all that pleased with our stay. The hotel itself, although it was on Bourbon St, seemed to be far from anything we wanted to do except Bourbon St. The rooms were nice and the beds great but the satellite kept going in and out while we were... more

Excellent, friendly service. Comfortable room with stocked minibar. Air conditioning, good lighting, comfy bed with plenty of pillows. The Royal Sonesta will definitely be our go-to hotel and I... more

It is a beautiful hotel and everyone is very helpful. We stayed for two nights and my husband and I had a room with a king bed. The room was large and... more

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights while travelling. The location couldn't have been better. We parked our car and walked everywhere. I requested a quiet room and I was glad that I did. Bourbon Street was still noisey and bustling when we went to our room and we slept like babies. We had breakfast in... more

This is a very nice hotel right in the French Quarter on Bourbon Street. We went for the French Quarter Jazz Festival and had a great time. They close down most of the streets in the area for musicians, so you wander around and listen. There is a schedule of guests plus the local musicians who set up on their... more

When I booked the hotel, the agent was very nice and helpful. I thought the rooms with jacuzzis were outrageously expensive, but if you can, I'd recommend splurging for a balcony room. One of the best nights we had was eating crawfish, drinking beer and people watching on our balcony. It is awesome to be this close to Bourbon St,... more
