We had a pleasant stay at Villa Convento, felt it was a good price for a French Quarter location. The place is old, elevator is super slow but that was expected and I was glad to climb stairs to our room instead especially after all the great meals we had in NOLA. It was clean, room (#408) had everything we need (bigger shelf in shower would've been helped), it was quiet, we had two balconies and plenty of room. We were right in the middle of things, super convenient location especially if you plan to stay put in the French Quarter. Heard a rumor that renovations are to begin soon but didn't confirm with hotel staff. We'll definitely stay here again.

I absolutely LOVED our stay! The staff were all so kind, the room was clean and nice cold AC, the hotel itself is so unique with its history, and the \"New Orleans\" feel. They always had tea and coffee and use of a microwave available in the lobby. The parking was a shkrt walk/drive and was secure in a garage and that made peace of mind so much better.
This will be the 1st place i look at going forward when visiting The French Quarter.

Tucked away in a quiet corridor of the French Quarter, this hotel was exactly what you want it to be. It’s old, it’s quirky, it’s full of charm and personality. It’s close enough to easily walk to every part of the quarter, but in a quiet enough area that rest and relaxation are easy. We had a street balcony overlooking the bakery across the street, and had amazing breakfast every day of our stay. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I cannot imagine a better place to stay in New Orleans. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and had an authentic charm without leaning into tacky kitsch. I cannot recommend the villa convento strongly enough. We absolutely will be back.

Hotel stay at Villa Conveto was great. We loved the hotel. The rooms were good, clean. Beds & pillows were comfy. Courtyard was pleasant. Everything was so beautiful!
Very friendly staff at check in and check out!! A great location.
Areas for improvement -- the locks on our doors did not seem secure, chain lock was flimsy. No bolt in our room. The paint was peeling in the bathroom ceiling.
Heard it's going to be renovated soon and hope they keep the uniqueness, & old charm& character.

The hotel is in the French Quarter, so it is an old building. It has some paint pealing from the ceilings and walls, and the floor creeks. The two-person elevator is very slow. However, the staff is great and loction is good - far enough away from the craziness of Bourbon street, but close enough to enjoy the entire Quarter. There is a cafe across the street for breakfast coffee and resturants 2-3 minutes stroll away.

So cute. So quiet. So spooky! I loved it. I had a room with a balcony and I totally recommend it. People watching after spending all day running around the Quarter was perfect on the balcony. It’s an old building so don’t expect all the modern amenities of, say, a usb port. But I think the charm of the hotel is in the fact that it’s old and holds so much history within its walls.
The room was clean. The bed was comfy. I would have loved fluffier pillows (I have a bad back) but other than that I had a lovely stay.

If you are looking for a large room with crap you don’t need the spend $400 more per night. But if you want all the charms I of Old New Orleans, this is the place.

Like most of New Orleans the hotel is old and full of character. The rooms are clean with strong window unit A.C. The bathroom is spotless and updated. The toiletries are pleasant. The lobby has tastey Community Coffe and assorted teas to be drank in hotel room,lobby,or a plant filled court yard. Across the lazy,quiet street is a yummy bakery filling the area with sweet aromas.The court yard with plants,outside balcony,stairway,old brick flooring and black wrought iron setting so totally New Orleans! I love it. A three block walk to French Quater is a great way to view how the locals live. Small alleys with small apts,apts stacked 3 high with balconies filled with ferns and other beauties, and a common lobby. One the same street a refurbished mansion can found usually with a brass plaque explaining the original owner's whom were prominent citizens when the house was built. The location is perfect. Off the beaten path but close to many attractions. Easy parking. Good value for a comfortable stay

When we booked a room on Expedia that didn’t match rooms the hotel currently had available, the staff was more than accommodating to make sure our stay was still enjoyable. Centrally located between the shops and market on Decatur for daytime roaming and the night life of bourbon st. Parking is limited but we stayed when it wasn’t that busy and had no issue parking in the provided garage about an 8 min walk from the hotel. Just a basic place to sleep with no frills which was all we needed. We didn’t come to NOLA for hotel breakfast or hanging out at a pool anyway. Would stay here again!

It is on a quiet edge of the french Quarter.
Unusually for the area, it has private parking in a locked garage about 5 minutes walk away.
I think we were upgraded to a top floor room with a balcony. The room was fine, not terribly big, but the balcony was an absolute delight! Covered; on 2nd floor (3rd in USA); great view down street; sun morning and evening.
All staff on desk very friendly.

Just ok.

The customer service and location are the biggest selling points to this hotel. The rooms are just ok and really in need of major renovation. If they do that this place is really going to be a great stay.

Great location, Nice front desk personnel, unfortunately the cleaning crew are not doing a good job, it was dusty, the walls need cleaning and painting, the AC was loud, The parking is not onsite, its a short 10 min walk, which is not too bad, sorry but I can't recommend this property.

This property may have been nice at some point, but is very run down now. Carpeting is nasty and it hasn't been painted in years. The only positive thing I can say is the bed and A/C were good.

Employees were great. Parking is a few blocks away but very secure. Room was available early. Garden 1st floor room was a perfect location only issue was smoking in the courtyard. Amenities are ice machine, vending machine and coffee in the lobby. Cute breakfast place across the street. Room had two chairs a table a dresser and a comfy queen bed. Sink was outside the bathroom. AC worked well. Towels were nice and changed out each day. Mini fridge worked well and was quiet. Short walk to Frenchmen and Bourbon St.

Location was excellent and very easily walkable to the busy areas, yet quiet and relaxed at the hotel. Parking worked out for us, but do not count on having it available - very few spots. Rooms are not accessible for anyone that cannot do steps (our room in a back corner of second floor required steps even with elevator use). Room was large and plenty comfy. The bathroom was very good, with a very deep tub. Loved the hotel overall!

Delightful!

We had a lovely stay at this historic hotel! Having the name - House of the Rising Sun - added to the mystique. We did not encounter any ghosts (which i am OK with! :-)

If we ever return to Nola we will stay here again!

Wonderful hotel! We stayed with two of our adult children and loved it! It falls perfectly between the French Market and Bourbon street. There's so much history there. It's small, since it was built in the 1800's. If you're looking to stay in an authentic New Orleans home, this is it. If you are looking for a modern hotel, this one is not for you. We will definitely be back!

The hotel itself was very nice. Everything was clean and the service was great. I really liked the decor and vibe the old building has. Parking is limited so i had to park on the street, where my tesla recorded a grown man defacating next to my car, but honestly that could have happened anywhere in nola. Other than that 10/10 would stay there again!

Cozy, Relaxed, Welcoming Stay

For myself and my party, we had an excellent stay. The staff was relaxed and extremely helpful when I needed to park my rental car for a day. I appreciated the long standing history and spiritual energy all around the neighborhood. For folks with inquiring curious minds and those who appreciate the past and love a cozy room (#303) and a cute balcony view outside your door, the this hotel is for you!

Life Saver for Super Bowl

We wanted to stay near the French Quarter. Everyone else was close to 2,500 to 5,000 a night. We found this place by accident and it turned out to be 2 blocks from Bourbon and on a quiet street near Jefferson Square. It wasn't new, it wasn't fancy but it was very nice and quiet and comfortable and clean. That's all we want in a hotel room. Clean and safe. Thank You Very Much

Disappointing Experience – False Parking Info & Poor Room Conditions

I booked this hotel specifically because they promised parking, and I even called ahead to confirm they had space for my moving trucks. Upon arrival, I found an extremely small parking lot with no available spots—even for small cars. On top of that, the room was disappointing: outdated, dirty, and the bathroom had black mold around the shower. Definitely not what I expected, and I wouldn’t stay here again.

It's very conveniently located, walkable to anything in the French Quarter. But it's very run down, we stayed in the loft, and it's moldy, smelly, the mattresses are very old and squeaky. Carpet is old and warn down. Looks much nicer on pictures than in reality. It needs a major renovation.

Our room was facing the street, you can hear lots, especially someone screaming outside during the night while they were in an argument.

Great location in French quarter

Our check in was fantastic… we asked for an early check in and we were accommodated with a small wait which was fine. We had the family room which served the needs of the 4 of us for 1 night just fine. The space was fine, the room could need a little updating in that the room was musty and the bathroom could use hooks for towels. Our overall experience was positive. Great location, friendly service and clean room.

It was an older facility but it was great for what we needed it for. It was perfect for our family. It was clean and a place to sleep near all of what we wanted to do . The only prob out suv was too big to fit into parking so we had to find other arrangements for it . Pillows needed updating . But other than that it was great. This hotel has a nostalgic feel for NOLA. Would visit again . You must also know that there’s alot of steps . Does have a small elevator that works only on the 2nd floor. But like I said it’s an older hotel , very quaint. No breakfast but there’s a shop directly across the street that sells homemade croissants . Everything was about .5 miles away. Great place
