“Jazzfest Digs”

For quiet when you want it, yet footsteps from the mayhem of Bourbon Street when that's what you want - you can't go wrong at Hotel le Marais!

For quiet when you want it, yet footsteps from the mayhem of Bourbon Street when that's what you want - you can't go wrong at Hotel le Marais! If you're fortunate, as I was, to be greeted upon arrival by the most accomodating and good-humored Pierre - then the tone for your entire stay shall have been set, and at a high bar. Be sure to seize the opportunity to chat up Collette about the little ones in her life as she's fixin' the coffee service. The coffee's very good; the conversation's apt to be even better!

“Great location in the French Quarter.”

The location was excellent. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants . Very close to Jackson square. You will learn to look down at your feet to avoid pot holes,etc. most street signs are literally ON the Sidewalk.Get an “upgraded room” if you can…Our room had 2 queen beds and a newly renovat… more

No refrigerator tho. Very clean, not noisy.

We stayed here three nights. After three other hotels. This was the worst hotel of our stay. Tired , worn and in need of updating. The three stars are for location close to Royal street, quite nights sleep and Pierre. The only friendly person in the hotel we came across. A broken iron , chipped furniture, scratches and dents on the floor Broken telephone. A sub standard TV. A lift which made us question how safe it was. A pool which was like a pond. Furniture left out in pouring rain. . Free coffee and water. They did fetch extra coat hangers. I wish we hadn't have u packed i should have asked for a different room. We booked this with a travel agent . I wouldn't have chosen here. Nor should you. Sorry,New Orleans is lovely if you stick to anywhere other than the crazy street. I see someone got a upgrade we sadly didn't. The hotel wasn't busy.

“Perfect Base for Exploring the Quarter”

Staying here felt like being dropped right into the rhythm of the French Quarter. The location is easily the biggest highlight—step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by everything that makes New Orleans come alive. I arrived during a major festival, so access into the area was a bit restricted. That meant a short walk with luggage, but it also meant I was instantly immersed in live music, crowds, and that unmistakable city buzz. Not a bad welcome at all. The hotel itself leans into its age. It has character, but you can also feel that it hasn’t been heavily modernized. My room was comfortable and worked well for what I needed—mainly a place to rest between long days out exploring. There were a couple of minor inconveniences during my stay. The elevator had a bit of a personality of its own—slow at times and occasionally hesitant. I also had a brief encounter with a small insect in the bathroom one morning. That said, what stood out most was the people. The staff were consistently kind and approachable, which made a difference and added a welcoming touch to the experience. If your priority is location and you don’t mind a property with a few quirks, this place does the job and puts you exactly where you want to be.
