Fantastic and unique place to stay. The old building is preserved but has all of the modern amenities you need. We loved the shower in the old drunk tank. Plenty of great spots within walking distance including a great neighborhood brewery and nice restaurants. Close enough to the French quarter, we walked there but Ubered back after dark. Todd the owner greeted us and showed us the place and sent us recommendations. He had beers in the fridge that you can grab and leave cash or a Venmo, grab one and head to the nice rooftop patio.

Would highly recommend this place if you want to get off the beaten path, we hope to return in the future!

Unique property. Very well done but could do with a little more house keeping ie; fresh towels. If you want to stay somewhere different from the average hotel then you will not be disappointed!
Location just a little too far out if no car but with a 10 min walk and a streetcar pass all is good. Todd the owner is extremely helpful.

Get locked away in this New Orleans hotel

What a beautiful and unique property! The room was very comfortable, the decor and condition of the historical building were exceptional. The owner trusts his guests which is fantastic, with an honor bar/fridge and open kitchen. We had issues with the front door security which required us to call him several nights in a rolw. Thank god for Facetime, he was able to walk us through the process (which was different than on the instruction pad). I would have given the place give stars across the board except we never had linen service/room cleaning that we could tell. We got towels upon request, but that was because the maid service was in the building at the time. These are small things though, and we will stay there again!

This place is all right, all right, all right! The Old Jail is a gem, if you like original old buildings you’re in it for a treat! The Police Jail has a lot old charm and character, situated in Tremé / LaFitte neighborhood. Go to breakfast or brunch to Leo’s Bread or Flour Mood! Walkable distance to New Orleans Streetcars on Canal Street or take the city bus just around the corner! -Pierre

This is one of the coolest places to stay in NOLA. They did an excellent job preserving the history of the jail house with thoughtful details and fun decor throughout the inn. The common area is spacious and welcoming like a big house, beautiful kitchen area, lots of tables and seats 3 pianos and occasional musicians popping on to play a tune. The roof deck is wonderful for enjoying a beverage and some chill time. The 20min walk to the French Quarter and charming. Todd our host is the best and will give you great recs. We'd definitely come back to stay at the Jail House!

The building itself is beautiful, and has amazing historical charm. The host is very accommodating and friendly. However, it is advertised that there is a breakfast. There was coffee, and bananas. But there was no breakfast to speak of. So that was a bit of a disappointment. We were warned by our taxi driver that the area was not safe to walk around. The area did appear a bit run down. However, I couldn’t say for sure about the safety as we did not walk around we took an Uber everywhere.

Great place to stay.

The Inn at the Old Jail is exactly what it says. A fantastic place to stay with authentic feel and original features.

Todd our host was brilliant and very knowledgeable about the history of the building plus gave us very useful information about what to do and where to eat etc.

We could not really fault this place to stay with its quirky feel and historical vent which includes various memorabilia from its past use.

Very nice place to stay. Not the normal \"hotel\". It is beautiful inside and just the history behind the Inn. If we ever come back I would definitely stay here again.
I could see where parking could be an issue as it is in a residential area. We were lucky and parked right out front.

Cool, neat venue in an old jail, double Queen bed room was spacious! Todd, the owner was so sweet and responded quickly to any need and gave us a tour of the place to boot! Very nice that there’s a kitchen downstairs with cereal, dishes, snacks available and fridge to store drinks and leftovers! Parking was right in front, it is located in a newer part of Treme’ being redeveloped to be safer, we felt safe at that location but be careful any part of NOLA!

I can’t say enough good things about the Inn! The Innkeeper, Todd, was awesome! He took us on a tour of the Inn sharing all the buildings history. I enjoyed seeing all the antiques throughout the Inn. The neighborhood was quiet and away from the crowds, but only a 10 minute drive from all the action of New Orleans. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend this place. I will stay here again the next time I’m in town.

Get away from the craziness of Bourbon St

Beautifully appointed Inn in Treme that was restored by Liz and Raul. Great place to stay if you want to be away from the rat race of Bourbon street and want to learn more about the local color of New Orleans. Walking distance to historic local eateries (Dokie Chase, Willie Mae's Scotch House, Parkway bakery), it's about a half hour walk to Bourbon St.

We loved this property so much and it’s so unique. Liz is amazing and knows so much about the area and the history of the jail. I was so impressed when we got there. The rooms are pretty big, bathrooms are clean and the beds are so comfy.

On a side note we are both military and left them with a patch from our MAJCOM. They have an awesome showcase of memorabilia for front line works and we wanted to add to it.

The owners, Liz and Raul, were so incredibly welcoming, it felt like we were visiting old friends! This is a very unique and important restoration that was obviously a labor of love. The bed was super comfortable, and the fully-stocked commercial-grade kitchen was very convenient. There is a large, beautiful deck attached that was very relaxing in the later, cooler hours of late July in New Orleans. We will definitely be staying at the Inn at the Old Jail the next time we visit New Orleans, which we try to do every year. So much history is contained in this Old Jail, and we received a full tour with details of the restoration. We highly recommend the Inn at the Old Jail!

Wow! Just Wow!

One of the best places I have ever stayed at. Lovingly restored over 3.5 years, Liz and Raoul have created a wonderful guest house keeping a lot of its original features. When we arrived, Liz gave us a guided tour and explained the history of the place and the stories behind the people who have rooms named after them. Both of them make you feel very welcome from the moment you arrive and have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We were on honeymoon travelling across The States and this was by far our favourite place. We will be going back to “reoffend” as soon as we can.
