Ursuline Guest House - New Orleans

The lights in the room were not working or really dim. We had to scramble our way in the night. TV was not working. We couldn't take a shower as the water pressure was too low. They did have muffins and coffee for breakfast but we just needed to get out as quickly as possible. The hotel is conveniently located close to the French market but condition […] of room was not up to the standard. Our 2nd hotel for a lesser price proved to be so much better than this one. More like a back packers motel. Mehr

This was quaint and we are always up for an adventure. But, the structure is greatly gally-whumpus, i.e. off kilter. It was very disorienting--we were not drinking (business) but felt drunk/hung over. We got sea sick and took days to shake it. As freqent visitors to the city, I feel sure we could have booked this poperty ourselves for much cheaper than […] we paid with hotels.com. But, an adventure. Mehr

Great location in the quarter but very poorly maintained rooms with little to no security on our room and no where to put larger valuables. The breakfast is poor and the person at the desk mostly unhelpful. The street noise was really bad and we didn't feel safe leaving anything in the room as the door on the street was previously broken and looked […] as though you could pull it open. Mehr

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. We booked through this site, but then stayed an extra night on our own and it makes sense to call the hotel and ask their rates unless they just gave us a discount for staying an extra night. They were very accommodating about letting us stay in the same room as they called the incoming guests and asked if […] it would be alright to change their room. Breakfast is a do it yourself affair at a little kitchenette but they have pots and pans and let you have access to a fridge and microwave, so you are able to prepare something aside from the cereal, muffins, toast, fruit and coffee/tea that are already set up. There is a tiny little courtyard that has been very pleasant to eat in and never over crowded. The rooms are quiet and clean. The staff has been very friendly and understanding and worked with us when we ended up having a few issues. You are smack next to Bourbon Street and Frenchman St. I would recommend you check out the latter if you are tired of the frat party that is Bourbon street, though both are a lot of fun. The location seemed very safe and it was easy to find all the touristy spots. There is no real street parking available, but they recommended a parking lot about a half mile away, where there is a actually a nice inexpensive place to eat called Mona's Cafe. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this place. Mehr

I sat in the courtyard one night and two rats ran in front of me. The hotel staff was EXCELLENT but the room really needed a good cleaning. I tried to remember it is an old, old building in the French Quarter.

There should be no surprises here. Great deal for the $$$. Wine & cheese each afternoon.

The only problem was that our room was up 2 narrow steep flights of stairs. This is not easily done if you're elderly and infirm. We would stay again as long as we could get a ground level room. The ambience is typical New Orleans, and the other guests were friendly and fun. The location was quiet, but close enough to the places we wanted to go.

Guest house is clearly a work in progress but we had so much fun and Bill the owner was an excellant host - would highly rate a visit .

we stayed one night, and it was one too many! i have stayed in my share of sketchy hotels, but this one may take the cake! i'm ok with small, older hotels as long as they're clean. our room was very dingy, there is a big hole in the wall, one of the beds tilts at about a 30 degree angle and was very lumpy. the bathroom was pretty scary--the toilet barely […] flushed, the shower was smaller than any i've ever seen (and i've been to europe!) and it looked like it hasn't seen a good scrubbing in a while. the worst part is, my friend saw a GIANT COCKROACH in the bathroom!! he did not tell us about it until the next morning, or i would have insisted on leaving immediately. apparently, it was the size of a hamster, no kidding. we couldn't get out of there fast enough! everyone was very friendly, and the place is very laid back, but i just cannot imagine going there again....

This is a great location but on the website they say SELF PARKING, It should say NO PARKING, you have to park 1/2 mile from hotel and YOU HAVE TO PAY $18.00 (12-24 Hrs.) They say wine & cheese at 6PM, we left to go out at 7:15 and still no wine or cheese. After 6 PM no front desk service until 8AM. This price was good if they included parking and I […] will probably not stay at this Hotel again. B.R, LA Mehr

The guest house owners could not have been kinder or more accomodating. However, the room and furnishings were very outdated and you almost felt like you were in a campground cabin. Bathroom sink did not drain well, heater did not work, but they brought us another portable one. It was just a lot rougher, more outdated, and not very quaint. Courtyard, […] hot tub, and the hospitality were great. Mehr

The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They made us feel like we were part of the family and at home.

We stay at hotels quite frequently and can honestly say that the Ursuline Guest House was by far the worst. Our tiny room was jam packed with tacky, beat-up furniture. There was mold on the ceiling, hairs in the sheets & sink and flies in the bathroom. Needless to say, the room looked and felt very unclean. The hotel boasts of its charming "courtyard," […] but the space is so cluttered with odds and ends that it bears closer resemblance to a junkyard. We missed their 6 pm wine and cheese hour, but walked out of our room the next morning to find the cheese & snacks still sitting out! It was disgusting. The young woman who showed us to our room was anything but warm and welcoming. We later needed assistance with an important question, and went looking for her. We finally found her on her cell phone making a personal call, and she completely ignored us. She didn't even bother to hang up and help. We were obviously VERY unsatisfied with this place and highly suggest you book at a hotel that takes better care of its facility and guests! Mehr

Guest house is located one block away from Bourbon St and on north end where the noise of the bars don't bother. Actually you don't even wanna stay closer of the bars than Urseline is located. It's about 5min walk to the bar district. This is your place if you wanna party, but still get the good night sleep.

Le guide du routard ne s'est pas trompé, le maître des lieux est extraordinaire. Ne manquez pas l'apéro offert tous les soirs : vins et fromage à profusion Chambres sur patio avec jacuzzi, joyeux capharnaüm, lieu d'époque (200 ans) il faut se replonger dans le contexte : douceur et convivialité de la louisiane. au choeur du quartier français, mais au […] calme. Nous n'hésiterons pas à retourner chez Bill (maître des lieux) si nous retournons à la nouvelle orleans PS : Offrez du fromage et/ou une bouteille de vin à Bill : il sera aux anges Mehr
