Pros:

I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to vacation on LOA. Its nestled in the Garden District, but Lyft/Uber got us to the Quarter in like 12 minutes tops.
Staff was super awesome and I highly recommend letting Tyler make you a signature cocktail of his choosing :)

Pros:


Recently stayed at the **Henry Howard Hotel** in New Orleans and really enjoyed it. It’s in the Garden District, so you’re away from the noise of the French Quarter but still close to great restaurants and shops on Magazine Street. The streetcar stops nearby too, which makes getting around easy.

The building itself is beautiful—an old townhouse with a lot of character—and the rooms are stylish without trying too hard. Think tall ceilings, comfy beds, hardwood floors, and cool vintage details. It feels more like staying at a friend’s elegant home than a typical hotel.

One of the best parts was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure guests had a good stay.

There’s no gym or pool, but the vibe and service (and parlor!) totally made up for that. If you’re looking for a quieter, more relaxed place to stay in New Orleans with a lot of charm, I’d definitely recommend it.

My wife and I had an amazing stay at the Henry Howard Hotel. The hotel has a lot of charm and character, the location is convenient to everything in the Garden District, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting New Orleans who doesn’t want to stay in the French Quarter.

Great, beautiful hotel in the Garden District
Pros:

This hotel is absolutely one of the best we have stayed in. It is in the beautiful garden district and close to the St. Charles Streetcar and many wonderful restaurants. Our room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Bruce greeted us when we arrived, handled our luggage and gave us wonderful suggestions on where to eat and what to do. He is a wealth of information on the area. We spent a couple of hours just walking around the neighborhood while on the lookout for interesting houses such as Anne Rice, Jefferson Davis, Sandra Bullock and more. Tyler and Hethe were wonderful throughout our stay and at checkout. Thank you for the tea and extra chocolates in the evening. The hotel has coffee, tea, orange juice and wonderful muffins in the morning. We loved going right across the street to have breakfast or lunch at Aquila Bistro. The owner, Yasmin, is very special. We highly recommend this hotel.

Pros:

I would have given it a "5", but for one glaring detail; there is NO BREAKFAST (despite being advertised as such). They put out coffee and orange juice, along with one edible item (a sort of muffin sized piece of cinnamon bread/roll... which since one of us is diabetic and the other can't do wheat, made it inedible). So we had to drop about $80 on three breakfast meals elsewhere. No explanation nor solution offered by staff. Also (unrelated) the tiny elevator has to be manually called by staff for the couple times we had to use it when moving luggage. And FYI, no on-site parking... street parking only (though that was not an issue)

Otherwise....a beautiful property convenient to lots of restaurants (walking to or driving to, on Magazine Street) and walking around the garden district. Staff is very nice. Room was beautiful (though the bathroom...tub only...was what you might expect from a 19th century conversion. I would certainly recommend to anyone, especially if you are looking for a unique (non corporate) environment. Just aggravated (still) about being misled about the breakfast.

Pros:

We thought this place was just great. Great building, big room, big bed, helpful staff. Many things to do within walking distance, and it's two blocks off the streetcar to the French Quarter. We would definitely stay here again.

Unprofessional staff looking through windows. Staff was not helpful and not available. Room smelled like raw sewage. Thermostat was locked behind a box and not accessible to change temperature setting. Bed was super comfy. Property was very pretty.

HHH
Pros:

We only stayed one night. Staff was amazing! Room was very nice with very high quality bedding. Keep in mind that when the HHH is full you will hear others just like you would in a hotel. After spending the week in French Quarter we came to the HHH for peace and quiet and some well needed sleep. I wish that housekeeping could start a little later. Vacuums started outside our door while we were still sleeping. The owner was very gracious and refunded the balance of our stay. If possible book an upstairs room and stay away from rooms near exit doors. We were told after we checked out that noise cancelling measures are available and offered at turn-down service, however we had just arrived so we didn't require a turn-down service. Overall this place is a great place to stay in the Garden District and walking distance to Magazine street.

Pros:

Nice little hotel in a more quiet part of New Orleans. It was still easy to get to the French Quarter by 30min walk or 15 min uber. We never used the street cars bevaise they were closed for a couple days due to an unusual snowstorm, but that option was a block away as well. The hotel was nice and quiet. I did bring earbuds for sleeping and my husband used the sound machine app on his phone because other reviews had said they could hear noise from other guests, so we had no issues with that. We were close to restaurants/shopping on Magazine St. and St. Charles Ave. Tons of coffee shops to choose from. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall a great stay.

Pros:

Cool old mansion with big rooms. Lots of character. Friendly and warm staff. Not so great: Bathroom small and dark. But - Excellent balcony where we spent our mornings, drinking complimentary coffee and pastries. Location in Garden District was a bit far from the downtown. Needed an uber everyday. Safe, pretty neighbourhood, which is what we wanted.

Lovely charm in Garden District
Pros:

This is a lovely boutique hotel in a quiet and charming part of NOLA. The manager was friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, but the bathroom a bit tight. If you are a senior citizen, you would probably prefer to stay in one of the downstairs rooms. I would definitely stay there again on a future visit.
