What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 887 guest reviews
The Bourbon Orleans Hotel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently praising its prime French Quarter location, warm and attentive staff, and historic, well-maintained rooms. However, a recurring issue with loud private pool parties and at least one complaint about ineffective air conditioning and a steep early check-in fee suggest some operational inconsistencies worth noting.
