The room itself was not that comfortable because the couch looked dirty, but they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom and were in the best location one block from the action of frenchmen street. It was incredible! There was a cute courtyard to relax in and the staff were super helpful and responsive so we would book there again.

Liked the location, walkable to Bourbon St, riverfront and Frenchman St. Disappointed in breakfast, was just bagels and waffles, cereals and coffee, I expected more. Showers were hit and miss, had a couple of cold ones! Air Cond did not work till the last morning we were there. I was given 2 free drink coupons as compensation. Would not stay here again.

The location is excellent for any jazz lover and the staff is phenomenal. I’ve stayed here multiple times and I strongly recommend it. Marigny is a little gem just outside the Quarter and definitely a MUST visit if you’re coming to NOLA. Royal Frenchman is a lovely and unique little place nestled in the neighborhood and has the best vibe. 5-stars across the board!

The property was authentic New Orleans charm, and the staff was exceptional. I literally felt like I was at home during this stay. I travel often so I'm not easily impressed. Loved it so much, I've already booked another stay coming up in a month and a half from now. Looking forward to it ☺

Every one on staff here is friendly attentive and helpful. From arrival to departure and everything in between. My favorite place when I visit. So impressed with The Marigny area and the locals, I will be promoting myself from 'guest' to neighbor before the end of the year! Can't say enough good things about this property, the staff, the live music and the surrounding area.

Checked in and our 2 bedroom suite had not been cleaned. Lots of apologies and they got it done while we were at dinner. After 4 nights they never cleaned our room again. We requested it twice. They brought us 3 clean towels and 3 fitted sheets. It's a quaint little boutique hotel on the very edge of the French Quarter. Most of the employees were very kind, but never followed up on tgeir promises.

Perfect location for great music and food nearby!

The staff members are friendly and attentive. The bar has great craft cocktails. The live music is fun. However, being that it's an old building, keep in mind that your room may not have electrical outlets in the bathroom (a challenge for blow drying your hair, as that's the only place our room had a mirror.) Also, our room had no accessible/functioning windows so after a couple of days, the room was very muggy/stuffy - no fans, no way to open a window.

This is a great boutique hotel at the top of Frenchman Street (which is a more authentic version of Bourbon street). It's a great hotel and location for access to the bars, restaurants and live music the street has to offer - which goes on to at least midnight. Thus, if what you want is peace and quiet at 10pm then this is probably not the place for you! The room was lovely and to a high specification - however, whether we were at the end of a long pipe run, the hot water took and age to actually arrive, and it only just got hot enough to shower. Breakfast is also rather casual and a bit "hit & miss" (maybe they expected everyone to go out for brunch??). But we thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay - and would stay again if we were in New Orleans. There is no parking provided (we dumped our rental car on arrival in NOLA as you can use the Jazzy Pass to get around) but this a common issue and we planned accordingly.

Nice Hotel and Best Spot for Music

We just stayed here on a Friday night before moving into the Quarter. The neatest thing about Royal Frenchmen is the music they have in the lobby every night. There’s only room for 20-30 people, so you’re right up on the performers, and there are 6-8 other places to listen to music on Frenchmen within 2-3 blocks if you prefer. There’s a nice bar in the room Nextdoor. The downside is that the music continues until midnight or 1:00 am on the weekend if you go to bed early. Also the staff are nice, you get a simple breakfast, and we came back three other times over the week, as it’s become our favorite place for music in NOLA

We stayed at the Royal Frenchmen Hotel for a short weekend break, and it was great; it is a boutique hotel located in the heart of the French Quarter. It was clean, the room was spacious, and the bathroom had a walk-in shower. The hotel has a bar, and the bartender was great at mixing cocktails. Different live bands perform each night. check in was smooth, if you are looking for a quiet place, it may not be a good choice for you as the hotel is located in a very vibrant neighborhood with many bars and clubs working till early hours of morning *though it may be a case of Mardi Gras celebrations. I'll definitely be looking forward to my next visit and stay. there.

Amazing unique property with tons of character. Super close to Frenchmen Street with the best jazz clubs in New Orleans. Insanely amazing music downstairs in the lobby each night. The rooms were clean and the bed was firm and very comfortable. It's a quirky boutique hotel so if you're looking for a luxury hotel, this is not the place. It's also really loud at night with the live music. But for us that was a selling point. We LOVED the music and it was so fun to come home after a full day exploring New Orleans to have a cocktail and listen to some amazing musicians right in the lobby. We will definitely stay here again and really loved out whole experience.

I stayed at the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar with my dad during a last-minute trip to New Orleans. We booked an ADA room, which was affordable and met our needs after his knee replacement. Overall, the stay was decent—not terrible, but not the best either. The location is great if you love nightlife and jazz—right on the edge of lively Frenchmen Street, with live music both outside and inside the hotel. However, the nightly jazz performances make it difficult for light sleepers to get a full night’s rest. The lobby has charm but could use some maintenance and deep cleaning. Our room had a stale smell when we entered. While the bedding was clean, the stained desk chair and curtains, lack of luggage space, no full-length mirror, and a burned-out bathroom bulb brought the experience down a notch. There are also no windows to look out of in the street-level room, and noise from outside was constant. The courtyard was a nice touch, and rooms with balconies facing it might offer a better stay. I wouldn’t stay here again personally due to the location not matching my preferences, but I would recommend it to those who enjoy live jazz and a lively, late-night atmosphere.

I booked this hotel for the location and availability of parking. It looked nice as we checked in and went to our room. Then things took a turn for the worse. The bed was firmer than the floor and very uncomfortable. We had to call the front desk to check the water heater every time we wanted a shower. It was still only warm and not hot. All rooms can hear the band in the bar all night. There were very good bands playing in the bar. The front desk staff were not familiar with local companies. As an example we asked if we could get a carriage ride from the hotel for sight seeing. They said I would need to look that up online. We will not stay here in our future visits to the area.

I want to give a fair and balanced review, so I will start with the positives. The boutique hotel is located on the corner of Royal and Frenchmen street and within walking distance to great restaurants and live music. The hotel lobby has charm and a nice courtyard. I also enjoyed the live music in the evening. Please note this is not the type of hotel to get a lot of rest given the live music and activities late into the evening. Now the challenges. While I submitted a request for early checkin...I never heard back from the hotel and our room was not ready for a 3pm check- in. When we finally got into our room around 3:30, the room was not fully cleaned, it was missing the iron and the remote control was missing a battery and inoperable. We immediately went to front desk and she worked to rectify the situation, however we never received the robes as indicated on the website. That evening as we pulled out the sofa bed, there were food particles and dirt on the mattress cover... we called to get new bedding. The next morning I contacted the front desk for housekeeping and they said they would arrive between 10-2. That afternoon we came back to the room, close to 3:30 and our room had not been cleaned. We contacted the manager about all of the issues and he along with housekeeping tidy up the room while we waited outside. We stayed for three nights and given the issues I won't stay again, but the manager did remove the parking charges bc of problems we had the first 2 days

The property itself is in the best location possible. It is very walkable to everything you will want to see and do. The property has a bar and has music nightly. We stated in room #207 we could hear the music in our room but to us it wasn't too load. We both fell asleep before the music ended. The biggest problem we had was no hot water in room. We didn't complain to management, I'm not sure other than switching rooms changing rooms.
