We enjoyed our stay at the Degas house, the only things to note:
-it was nearly impossible to get in contact with the staff. The phone was never picked up, and there’s no front desk. When we ran into the staff at the house they were very helpful and kind.
-Room and building were generally clean, we stayed in the Carrie room and it didnt have a window and was very stuffy. The AC and fan were helpful but loud.
-We really enjoyed the proximity to the bus lines and the beautiful neighborhood.
Clean room. David the owner had amazing hospitality. No bed and breakfast but the area is fairly safe and the architecture of the building is beautiful .
I am extremely dissatisfied with my stay at Degas House in New Orleans. The property was in unacceptable condition, with apparent mold, cockroaches, excessive dust, and a persistent musty, deteriorated smell. I have photographs documenting these conditions.
The owner's conduct was also deeply concerning. His text messages and interactions with me were inappropriate, intimidating, and unprofessional. His behavior toward my daughter and cousin was also aggressive and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. As a woman travelling with family, I found this experience particularly distressing and had serious concerns about feeling safe.
The property lacked basic hospitality standards, including a professional front desk, available staff, and the amenities I expected. There was no breakfast or meaningful guest service. The location was also farther from the French Quarter than anticipated.
Considering that I paid approximately $$$ per night, the condition of the accommodation and the overall experience were completely unacceptable. Additionally, I was charged an extra $$ credit card fee without receiving a satisfactory explanation or a proper itemized receipt.
I feel that I did not receive the standard of accommodation, cleanliness, safety, or service that Expedia customers should reasonably expect.
I am requesting that Expedia investigate this property, review my photographic evidence and communications with the owner, investigate the additional credit card charge, and co
I stayed in the Desiree room which was very lovely. The room was beautiful, very clean, and the tub was large enough for two people. It was quiet and we weren't bothered by anyone working there or any tours.
There were some miscommunications at check-in. This is obviously a small bed and breakfast in a historical building, so there isn't full time staff that check you in. I received an Expedia message about an envelope in the lock box that had our keys and welcome materials that wasn't there and had to wait for the owner to bring us the keys. He did text us letting us know the wifi password which was supposed to be in the envelope and we didn't really need anything else.
They advertised breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, but we checked in on Saturday and there wasn't breakfast on Sunday, but that was ok with us since we wanted to look at some local restaurants.
We were transported back to Old New Orleans and the life of Edgar Degas. Our stay led us to new thoughts and opened up great conversations. Very inspiring. The people were so friendly and caring.
Very elegant. Historic. Not modern and up to date but I enjoyed that about it. The hot tub was amazing. The staff were very friendly. Parking available around the hotel so we didn’t have to pay for parking unless we went out. Within walking distance from the French Quarter. Gas station/ convenience store within walking distance. Very peaceful. They offer a tour and history of the property. They offer breakfast. Only issue I encountered was since the furniture is antique, it’s starting to break (knob missing off the wardrobe and hinges need to be oiled) and the tv would only play audio, video would not load. Overall great place to stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Over promised and under delivered, but I'd stay there again. It is an older property so things are not perfect. It is a beautiful building and very historic. I lived in the historic French Quarter before, so I was prepared for a historic property.
The night we arrived there was a wedding going on so it took a bit to get to the lock box. The keys were in an envelope with the name of the room. After 8 hours of driving and walking through a wedding party, it would have been nice to have my name on the envelope. So I grab the wrong set of keys and eventually found someone to tell us where the room is. We drag all of our stuff from one building to another set up in the room, leave for dinner and get a phone call that we are in the wrong room. I mentioned to the lady who showed us the room that we did not book a double. It was a mess, but the housekeeper and some staff helped us move rooms and gave us drinks and a bottle of Champagne. She was wonderful.
Breakfast was not as pictured. It was lovely sitting at the table with the other guests and chatting, but the menu was limited. The owner was very nice a breakfast but not so much the night before when the mix up happened.
The upstairs room on the 3rd floor had no windows so I felt a bit claustrophobic. I worked for us, but a single person it is perfect.
All in all, I'd stay there again. Bus stop right across the street. Off street parking was advertised, but not a reality, but there is plenty of space within a couple of blocks.
My room was super clean. The bathroom was impeccable. Plenty of towels. I especially liked that not a lot of other guests were there; it was very quiet despite the busy street. Important detail that Expedia leaves out; there’s no front desk, so check in is between 3-5. They were kind enough to let me in after hours, but you shouldn’t rely on my experience; call ahead! I just got lucky. If it had been in the middle of the night I’d have been in trouble. The charm of staying in an old historic rooming house far outweighs any perceived inconvenience for not having a desk. I would definitely stay here again, and might very well do so next year.
Important notes; I keep odd hours, so I didn’t utilize the breakfast. Parking would be a major concern on Esplanade if I’d been traveling with a rental. It’s a busy street. Don’t expect off street parking. It’s a neighborhood! The charm of it was wonderful. I walked all the way to the French quarter in maybe twenty or twenty five minutes and took a taxi home.
The real deal bed and breakfast, we came in right after they did a wedding and it was touch and go getting our room ready because the turnover of all rooms, but once we were in it was magical.
The historic aspect of the house, and the beauty of the building and furnishings, really stood out. I loved getting to talk to David Villarrubia, the owner, who served the breakfast. I also enjoyed the free tour, given by Edgar Degas' grand niece.
Didn’t even end up getting into the hotel. I got to the hotel and called the manager to let me in, he immediately rejected the call and told me to text him. After sending him multiple texts with no reply and the same happening to other people waiting there too I cancelled my booking and found another place. Total scam don’t stay here
This place is completely unsuitable for accommodation. It's a house where they hold occasional events and have also decided to host people. I received arrival instructions by email, but practically nothing that was described was done. Breakfast is practically nonexistent; they bought bread, some fruit, and left a coffee machine with a few capsules for use, but everything was very basic. On a hot night, cockroaches appeared in the room I was staying in. There is no staff or anyone who stays there for very long.
The staff here was wonderful!!! A great breakfast was served daily and it was very comfortable. This is a historically registered property and the formal tour of the property was WAY BETTER than we had hoped for. It gave great background to the area, the history people of this house and of the times.

Host was unprepared, disorganized, condescending, and dismissive. Our experience was so poor that we left after the first night even though we were supposed to stay two nights.

No heating available and no new towels were provided. Had a small 3 year old child with me and this was deeply concerning. Tried to ask for help but requests went unfulfilled such as the request for an extension cord since most wall sockets were not working. Parking was good but owner made me feel unwanted and not valued as much as other guests.

The house is beautiful, but the bed and food services are bad. The tvs are old they juts need to update the bed and some furniture in the rooms
It was a good stay, good communication for the most part but had alot of trouble getting the tv wifi signal even afyer they cam next day to reset it so do to game being postponed we couldnt even watch the other games other than on our phones which was disappointing.
The Degas House hotel is not a serious business. It is shabby, outdated and run-down to the point that normal cleaning is not possible. Even with the Super Bowl approaching, the hotel appeared empty. The "office" looked like a looted demolition project. Was the hotel even officially empty this week? Hotels.com disgraces itself by allowing such a property to be listed.
