Top Gentilly Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is right on Bourbon Street but the hotel is an oasis of quiet. The staff is always ready to help. Our room was a tad small but well appointed. The bed was wonderful. There are great restaurants all around you. We would definitely stay here again."

Hotel Mazarin

10/10 Excellent

"About half a block from Bourbon Street and really in the middle of everything. We had a room on the second floor in an atrium area. It was very quiet. Room 230. Some of our other family had rooms right towards the front of the street and they had a lot of outside noise in their room. The included breakfast was very nice some of the best fruit salad ever! My only negative is that the coffee was not good. I would definitely recommend Hotel Mazarin and would stay there again."
