This property is eclectic. Lots of old antiques, including the furniture. If antiques and well used furniture is your thing, you will love it. If it’s not, you will be disappointed. The hvac system really struggled with the heat. If you have a street side room it is noisy. It’s a 1/2 block from Bourbon Street. The staff is excellent and made great efforts to accommodate areas we perceived as shortcomings/issues. The property also has resident cats so if you are allergic it may be problematic.

The family that runs this hotel really makes it special. The property is absolutely gorgeous, the pool is fantastic, and the free coffee/water in the lobby is a huge plus. I absolutely loved staying here, it is truly a calm, historical oasis right in the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter/Bourbon St.

Lovely, unique property which provided a special experience of New Orleans for us. Sounds from nearby Bourbon Street did not infiltrate into our room at night which had been a concern. The room was cool and comfortable even on a hot week in summer and the pool was nice to relax in during the evening. A peaceful and elegant place to stay; we would certainly book again.

Here's the thing - Olivier is not a hotel, it's a home. If you're not comfortable with a \"crash at your friend's house\" vibe, then you need to go somewhere else. That being said, this place was amazing for my husband and I's 11th anniversary. Beautifully decorated, amenities when and where you need them, cozy, quiet, and walkable to nearly everything a tourist is looking for in NOLA. I felt safe and happy 100% of the time.

Let me be clear - there are some holes in the towels (but they are perfectly clean), the drain in the shower has some rust (dude the place is hundreds of years old, get over it), roaches are in the courtyard (you're in the heart of New Orleans, so don't kid yourself into thinking they shouldn't be there), and you are given a physical key to keep track of. If you're too bougie to accept these things, then move on so the rest of us can enjoy the break from suffocating modern minimalism.

Only the realest reals crash here and love it - so figure out your lane and have a great time in the Big Easy.

Every little thing about this property was amazing. The history, the uniqueness, the room, the staff, the cats! The views from level three and four. Maybe even ghosts(which we did not encounter). Location was perfect! 108 was spacious and nice and cool. If ever to return, we will DEFINITELY stay there again, even if there are so many other unique stay options. I think we were most disappointed to leave the property over visiting NOLA in general.

So. I read all the reviews before we went. I was a bit worried, but know some people are picky. First yes they have cats in the main areas. But this is an old house they arnt running throughout the hotel. I'm not a cat person but they were cute and we liked seeing where they were hanging out daily. Our room was a balcony you will be near Bourbon bring your ear plugs you'll be fine. Plus sitting on the balcony watching the chaos is fun. N.O people watching us a whole other level lol. If you go in realizing this is an early 1800s home you'll be fine. Elevator is an experience lol Would 100% book again. Even with the upstairs room trying to compete in the WWE the last night. ❤️

The room was absolutely stunning! I had a balcony and so I was able to sit out outside and enjoy the views and sounds of the city. The balcony was semiprivate, I think I shared with one other room. The staff was very friendly. I had to valet park and anytime I needed to get my car they were very quick about that. The property was really quiet to say that it was as close as it was to the bourbon Street. Occasionally, we’d hear loud music from a passing car, but that ended after a while as they shut the street down at a certain time of night. The only complaint that I have is that it was a little confusing to get to the rooms, but once you get to your room that first time you don’t get lost. I definitely got lost twice trying to get to the room the first night.

This hotel is AMAZING, clean, beautiful and absolutely spectacular all the way around. The ground floor has numerous private courtyards for coffee, a smoke, or to just enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. There’s a sotting room with excellent seating, coffee, tea, espresso, snacks, and a guitar for your enjoyment.

The pool is more than adequate even though the pictures made it look small. I could have stayed in the pool 24 hours a day just because your surroundings are simply stunning.

We tried to add an extra day to our trip because we were enjoying the hotel so much but unfortunately there was no availability. This was the first hotel I’ve ever stayed at that I never wanted to leave.

We met John at check in and he was absolutely amazing. He gave us great recommendations, had no problems with our numerous requests, gave us a tour and a brief history of the hotel.

I went with a friend who is very particular about hotels. She was dubious, but game to get the full French Quarter experience. Her second visit to New Orleans, my third. I love old things, she prefers new. I loved this hotel, with its exposed brick, skinny double doors, beautiful courtyards, sitting rooms, high ceilings, and exposed floors. She could smell mildew and was close to finding another hotel the first night, but by the next day she was getting more used to it. We stayed there three nights. I slept well and I think she did too, not the least of which from exhaustion from travel and walking.

It could have been more meticulously cleaned. Some of the areas (i.e., under the stairs in our suite) could have been dusted. The amenities are limited but the small pool was nice to dip into after coming back from walking in the Louisiana heat and humidity! We both agreed everyone was very nice and tried to be helpful. They offered to put us in another room, but as they said, some things just exist with an very old building and exposed brick. It was a bit of a family feel with three lovable resident cats (and I am not a cat person) that roam the lobby building. It was also well located and it was nice to be able to stop in and change clothes before going back out. In short, I would recommend it to anyone who likes history and wants to experience some of the history of the French Quarter, but if you are looking for new, pools, hot tubs and spas, this is likely not your place.

We just finished a 5 night stay at Olivier House. I want to start by saying there are so many wonderful things I absolutely loved about this hotel. It had such great character, a true New Orleans vibe. I enjoyed the cats, the aesthetics, the greenery, and atmosphere. It was a good location, easy to get around. With all that being said, I’m giving it a 3 stars because of cleanliness and quality. There were many bugs in the room, the vintage furniture was so cute but needs a good cleaning. If you want somewhere to rest and feel cozy, this wasn’t it. The bedding needs upgrading, it was itchy, not comfortable. It’s cute for a one night stay but not practical for a longer visit. We hung the “make ready “ request once to get a refresh of the room, clean towels, and sheets. After hot days of sunscreen, sweat and humidity, it was needed. The towels were the only thing changed. The bed wasn’t made, no clean sheets, dirty brick floor. Again, I would come back, but for a quick one night stay.

The decor is lush and elegant. Everything works somehow.
My room had a very comfortable king sized platform bed, a wet bar with coffee maker, and a large bathroom with a fabulous shower.
There was a dresser, armoire, and a/c
There is a claustrophobic but functional elevator.

The hotel does not have central A/C. We had to move from a loft room because it was too hot. The new room was cool but water dripped from the A/C unit onto the floor and if you step there you might fall thru to the ceiling below. The elevator is OLD and scary as heck. You barely fit 2 people in it. We used the valet service and when we were checking out, we had to describe our keys and car to them. When they parked it, they didn’t label the keys so all weekend they had no idea who they belonged to. The place is by amateurs and the building is not kept up. I won’t stay here again.

Loft room 109 had bed bugs. Outside of that the staff were incredible. The hotel was very cool and beautifully decorated. Our AC was perfect. A block from bourbon street. Perfect for quick bathroom breaks as we enjoyed the day. Just very unfortunate with the fact it had bugs.

I wasn’t going to leave this on review but when I told the front desk(very discreetly mind you out of respect) I was told the owner was there and I could talk to him. He never came out and I was offered nothing as an apology or anything. Our car was brought to the front and we just left. So frustrating but I just wanted to leave so I didn’t press the issue further. Just won’t be back.

We wanted an eclectic and charming place to bed down while visiting the French Quarter, and the Olivier did not disappoint. Everything about the hotel screams \"New Orleans\". From the friendly staff (both human and cat) to the incredibly unique rooms to the lived-in character of every nook and cranny.

Look, if you are wanting to stay at a sterile and soulless chain that feels like an airport terminal, this is not your place. It's warm (emotionally...the room AC was top notch and kept us cool!), it's got a bit of the city in its bones with the weathered brick and groan of the wooden back steps, and the whole building feels like it's alive with countless stories to tell to those who would listen.

Metaphysical intangibles aside, the staff was amazing. Everyone was so nice and remembered us as we came and went, the housekeeping was friendly, and the free bottles of water were HUGELY appreciated as we were able to recharge and hydrate in between adventures.

So, if you are looking for a stay that has that old NOLA charm, check it out. Shout out to Magnolia for always letting us bother her with ear scratches several times a day...that's one of the cat's names, btw...for clarification😉.

So much character- a beautiful place in a great location. John and Ben at the front desk were so helpful, and the “desk cats”, especially Magnolia, were so sweet. Four stars for cleanliness only because our comforter was very dirty upon arrival, but they switched it out immediately (to one with what looked like a cig burn hole in it). But that is just nitpicking. Beds were comfy, courtyards and pool were cozy and quaint. About 5 min walk to café du monde. Right around corner from bourbon street but noise/smell wasn’t noticeable at all

We stayed here for 5 nights and were choosing between this hotel and a Marriott. We decided on this property because of the pleasant phone conversation, great photos, and convenient location.

The location was excellent, and I have no complaints about that. However, our first impression at check-in was strange. The employee checking us in was sitting behind the desk, while another staff member was sitting nearby in a very relaxed position with her legs stretched out toward the desk, giving him instructions and answering some of our questions. It felt unprofessional and was not the welcome we expected after a long day of travel.

The room had a charming vintage style, which we initially liked. Unfortunately, things went downhill after that. The shampoo provided came in tiny tubes and left my hair extremely dry. There was no conditioner and no body wash. The only soap available looked and felt like old-fashioned laundry soap.

The shower was also inconvenient. The shower head was fixed in one position and could not be adjusted, making it impossible to wash your body without soaking your face and hair.

When we needed toothbrushes, we had to go downstairs to request them. There is no phone in the room, so every request requires a trip to the front desk. It certainly gave us a glimpse of life in the old days, but not in a good way.

The bedding was covered in pilling and felt worn out. I was uncomfortable sleeping on it and ended

Pretty property with old-world flair, but very worn out and not well-maintained. Spots on furniture, cockroaches, and cats that defecated on the carpet in the snack area. Unfair pricing. We paid the same as our friends for a small, pool-facing room with a tiny bathroom that even didn't have a hook for hand towels or a place for toiletries, while their room and bathroom were spacious and well-stocked. There was no shelf for shampoo in the shower stall. Actually, there was no shampoo and conditioner at all. We were provided only with two small soap discs. Property owners and staff were unfriendly and my complaint was met with smirks and ridicule.

Beautiful historical property that is well-maintained. Lovely courtyards & the overnight/early AM receptionist was super helpful & knowledgeable about the property and its history. It’s true what is said ab the noise on the street-facing balcony rooms, but that is going to be every hotel in that area. Cars drive down the quarter with music so loud, a couple made the window rattle. I didn’t mind; it was part of the experience & by the third night I tuned it out. If you’re going to be out late-night, it may not even be an issue. If it’ll bother you— get a room that isn’t street facing OR bring earplugs. Easy solutions. As a woman traveling solo, I felt safe & I loved being able to sit out on the balcony. Bed was clean & super comfortable. Easy & safe to get to everything. Local grocery w/in 5 min walk. The pool looked clean— it was raining most of the days so I’ve no idea if people use it— but it was beautifully done. 10/10 stay

What a beauty! So many secluded areas to sit and reflect. Our room was top notch. Looked like we were in a castle. So ready to go back.

The hotel was great! It’s not the Hilton or Sheraton, which I knew, but it still took a moment to get used to it. But once I did, it has the charm of New Orleans that I wanted and the chain hotels do not. I felt like I went back in time, albeit with a nice modern bathroom and small kitchen area with a sink, microwave and mini-refrigerator.

The location could not be better, in the heart of The French Quarter, close to Bourbon Street, but far enough away from the noise and partying. It was a quick walk to everything — Cafe Du Monde, The French Market, Frenchman Street, Riverwalk, Streetcars, etc.

The room was very clean and the staff were very nice, accommodating and helpful in getting around and providing recommendations for food and things to do in the area. Complimentary snacks and water (it was hot!) were very appreciated. Seeing the cats just hanging out was very cool too.

Alas, nothing is perfect. Despite having ample lamps, the room was still very dark. Also, there was just the keyed door lock on the knob. There was once a door chain lock, but that was removed. I would have felt safer with the chain lock too. Finally, the ceilings in the bathroom and second floor loft are low. I am 5’ 8”, and it did not affect me, but I couldn’t help but think how this room could be a problem for a 6’ plus person.

Overall, great experience and I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you for making my first visit to New Orleans a memorable one!

The staff was so helpful with restaurant ideas. Our room was amazing, it was clean and had a comfy feel to it. Our room was next to the pool so we enjoyed the relaxing sound of the fountain as well as opening our back door to swim. I liked the history of the hotel as well as the cat administration lol. It was a top 10 for us would definitely stay at The Olivier House again.

Absolutely quaint and darling! John at the front desk was eager to help, carrying luggage to our room, making espresso and parking the car. Jack of all trades! Super conveniently located, just a couple blocks to bourbon street. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We had such a disappointing stay. Based on the reviews and the price we paid, I was expecting good things. We checked in and the guy on reception rushed me so much, I’d barely stepped through the door before he asked for my ID (I literally hadn’t even put my bags down). No conversation or friendliness. The room was in a dreadful state - ratty carpet, dead flies, threadbare towels and dust everywhere. Housekeeping was so poor. Our bed was made ONCE in a four day stay. We’d come back from a day out and find the bed still unmade - it appears housekeeping came in, changed our towels and left. After two days of bad cleaning with no removal of dust or dead flies I went to reception to raise my concerns. The receptionist said ‘I’m actually really busy right now and housekeeping have left for the day’ and told me to come back later because he was so busy. What a complete joke and so unacceptable. There was no apology and no offer of a resolution. Unsurprisingly, when I came back the receptionist wasn’t there. I just cannot believe how dismissive the receptionist was of our concerns and how bad the housekeeping was. For the price we paid, it is completely unacceptable. I would avoid this hotel like the plague. Such a disappointing way to end our trip as New Orleans was fantastic; customer service was fantastic everywhere except this hotel.

A really disappointing and poor stay. Unclean rooms, staff couldn’t care less and dreadful housekeeping. A complete joke for the price we paid.

This is a great spot if you like walkable in the French Quarter. As many places in the Quarter - it is very historic and unique - so don't expect a Holiday Inn - We will definitely be back

Great place! Historical, so naturally it has some rough edges, definitely not handicap accessible, too many steps after a doorway opening, etc, this will give you a bit of a surprise walking through a doorway that has an immediate step down.

But, oh so charming!
Staff were helpful, recommendations to great restaurants within walking distance. Love the kitties and they love their home!

So after dark on weekends, cars tooling around the block and blasting their stereo system, one after another, rattling the windows makes it impossible for most folks to sleep. You just have to be ready for that, with earplugs and such. But, it is the French Quarter!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and I have to say, it was such a great experience! The look and feel of this hotel is so New Orleans, from the antique-ish furniture and look of the rooms, to the fountains, pool, and vegetation. The staff was super nice and attentive, especially the cats! Yes, there are three office cats! It’s conveniently located a few steps off bourbon Street and within walking distance of the French market. Five stars all the way from me. Hope you enjoy as well!

Great property in the perfect location. Unfortunately we had issues during check in that were a bit disappointing. Clerk checked us in to the wrong room, which involved hauling our luggage across the street and up 2 flights of stairs, then back down to relocate to correct room. No apologies offered, so that’s sort of ruined our first night. Other than that great property!
