    Room backed onto courtyard and noisy guests could be heard to early hours of the morning.

    Great location in the French district. Helpful staff.

    The beds - not going to lie they were horrid - after 3 nights I need to go back to the physio. Even my 8 year old slept on the day bed in preference to the bed as it was more comfortable. Up grade the beds and you’d have 10 out of 10

    Great property close enough to walk to everything but also far enough way. Hotel has charm and character. Lovely staff. It has old world charm.

    Some of the staff were not the friendliest. My room was kind of noisy being between the front door and the ice machine.

    The location and price were great. Walking distance to everything in the French Quarter.

    Air conditioning was not the greatest. Our room never got very cool, just tolerable. The guy playing the piano in the lobby needs a break. He seemed a little dehydrated and malnutritioned...:)

    Location was close but far enough to be quiet. Staff is very nice and willing to work with you.

    The hotel is in a fabulous location - close to the beignets in Jackson Square, the madness of Bourbon St, the atmosphere of Frenchmen St but in a quiet little road. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Love the little courtyard where we would enjoy our coffee in the morning - free all day in reception. This hotel absolutely does what it says on the tin!

    Don't have far to walk to take part in old New Orleans.

    Parking is a long schlep, about five blocks or more. Easier to walk and return than to find because of one-way streets. The elevator needs to feed the squirrels that turn the wheels to raise and lower. The noise is loud and a bit scary. I thought one of the squirrels was going to croak every trip.

    Vieux Carre at your doorstep.

    Great Jazz Fest weekend stay

    • Couple
    • Queen Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Its a very old building so I dont think it could have or should have been any better but for the sake of potential guest, some of the rooms are quite small and youll have to manage your space well. Some reviews suggested it isnt clean. I didnt find that to be the case. Being an old building it isnt pristine. There is cracked and peeling paint, some banged up doors and railing etc. but nothing feels unsanitary. They do seem to clean the rooms well. Getting hot water in mornings can be a challenge though.

    The location is great and the staff is very friendly. They always had fresh coffee in the lobby. The building is approx. 200 years old so it sort of has its on character and charm. Itscleaner than I expected based on some reviews. There is a great bake shop across the street too.

    the bathroom could have been a little cleaner and the a/c a little quieter but we had a good night's rest all in all.

    location was on a nice quiet street in the French Quarter near everything, the room was comfortable and clean with room service each day, there was parking available but we didn't need it for our stay. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating.

    The rooms really need a deep cleaning and a coat of paint. It’s been quite a while since that was done. Rooms are quite small but we don’t spend a lot of time in room.

    Location is amazing. Close to everything but the street itself is very quiet. The balcony is well worth the extra cost. Free parking is a huge bonus in the French quarter

    The room was a little rundown, lots of peeling paint in the bathroom. The door was difficult to operate (though we were warned of that). Elevator was a little scary! All in all I know these are just old building issues.

    Location was perfect distance from attractions, it was pretty quiet, staff was friendly and helpful, they got transport to airport for us, good communication before arrival. The balcony was very nice to sit on in morning and evening. Good coffee in the lobby. Bed was soft and comfy. All the drinks in vending machine were $1.

    There were no chairs on the second floor balcony for us to use, it would have been nice to sit out during the nice weather.

    Location was really phenomenal, very close walking distance from everything in the French Quarter and across the street from a bakery but it was still quiet. Nice courtyard and comfy rooms.

    Charming old hotel in the middle of the French Quarter. Very friendly staff. I enjoyed eating in the courtyard! For those who believe in ghosts: this hotel is rumored to be haunted. I didn't sense anything, but my boyfriend felt like something was watching him...

    The elevator is a little bit scary! It works fine, but it makes a lot of noise. I sent my luggage up to my floor and then went up the stairs to get it. 😆

    Charming boutique hotel in a perfect location in the Quarter. Close to Esplanade Ave and quiet… away from the upper quarter bustle. Lovely and friendly front desk staff. I used to live in the French Quarter, so I’m visiting I don’t want to stay in a cookie cutter hotel. Via Convento was another perfect stay in one of my favorite cities. If you’re looking for turn down service and a chocolate on your pillow, this is not your place. If you want true old New Orleans charm… Give it a try.

    The only thing we felt a bit uncomfortable with was the lack of safe in the room. I would recommend the hotel invest in one per room to help guests feel more comfortable.

    The staff was very nice and accommodating to our needs. The location is absolutely perfect if you want to be near the busy spots but without the noise of the area.
