Terrible service. Didn’t clean the room or change towels. No hot water. Only positive is the situation close to French Quarters in a calm area. I can’t recommend it.

I made a reservation at the Royal Frenchman for two nights at the conclusion of a cruise. When I got to the hotel at 11am I was told the room was not ready. I then sat for three hours. When I enquired at 2:30 I was told there was a note on my reservation that I had been upgrade at no charge but the room was not ready. At 3pm I enquired again. She said let me go see if the room is ready. She returned and played with her computer. Then she said it looks like we overbooked and we do not have a room for you. But, do not worry, you will get a refund. I asked her what I was supposed to do. She said "that's not my job." I found another hotel and Uber'd there. Now back at home, I find out the hotel charged me again for that first night. And, I have not received any refund. I call the hotel but no one returns my call.

Everything was perfect. The staff was super friendly. The bands each night were amazing. We had so much fun. If you are looking for total silence this is not the place. Everything was within walking distance. We will definitely be back

This hotel has a french chateau setting, and it's simply amazing! You can't beat live music 🎶 nightly. Safe location with so much to do within walking distance.

The location is excellent for any jazz lover and the staff is phenomenal.
I’ve stayed here multiple times and I strongly recommend it. Marigny is a little gem just outside the Quarter and definitely a MUST visit if you’re coming to NOLA. Royal Frenchman is a lovely and unique little place nestled in the neighborhood and has the best vibe. 5-stars across the board!
5.0 / 5.0
Every one on staff here is friendly attentive and helpful. From arrival to departure and everything in between. My favorite place when I visit.
So impressed with The Marigny area and the locals, I will be promoting myself from 'guest' to neighbor before the end of the year!
Can't say enough good things about this property, the staff, the live music and the surrounding area.

Was terribly disappointed in the hotel overall. Felt more like a hostel. Room was in the attic with a slanted ceiling, so if you’re anywhere close to 6ft, you won’t fit. No closet (just a small rod with about 4 hangers) so suitcases had to sit on the ground. And although the bathroom looked like it had been upgraded, there was no outlet so good luck trying to dry your hair (though ironically they provided a hair dryer?) Also it’s right on Frenchmen street so it’s loud regardless, but there’s live music in the lobby so you hear that too. It’s fine if you don’t want to sleep during your stay.
It was so rough, we checked out 4 nights early and booked a different hotel in the garden district.

We just stayed here on a Friday night before moving into the Quarter. The neatest thing about Royal Frenchmen is the music they have in the lobby every night. There’s only room for 20-30 people, so you’re right up on the performers, and there are 6-8 other places to listen to music on Frenchmen within 2-3 blocks if you prefer. There’s a nice bar in the room Nextdoor. The downside is that the music continues until midnight or 1:00 am on the weekend if you go to bed early. Also the staff are nice, you get a simple breakfast, and we came back three other times over the week, as it’s become our favorite place for music in NOLA

I want to give a fair and balanced review, so I will start with the positives. The boutique hotel is located on the corner of Royal and Frenchmen street and within walking distance to great restaurants and live music. The hotel lobby has charm and a nice courtyard. I also enjoyed the live music in the evening. Please note this is not the type of hotel to get a lot of rest given the live music and activities late into the evening.
Now the challenges. While I submitted a request for early checkin...I never heard back from the hotel and our room was not ready for a 3pm check-
in. When we finally got into our room around 3:30, the room was not fully cleaned, it was missing the iron and the remote control was missing a battery and inoperable. We immediately went to front desk and she worked to rectify the situation, however we never received the robes as indicated on the website. That evening as we pulled out the sofa bed, there were food particles and dirt on the mattress cover... we called to get new bedding. The next morning I contacted the front desk for housekeeping and they said they would arrive between 10-2. That afternoon we came back to the room, close to 3:30 and our room had not been cleaned. We contacted the manager about all of the issues and he along with housekeeping tidy up the room while we waited outside. We stayed for three nights and given the issues I won't stay again, but the manager did remove the parking charges bc of problems we had the first 2 days

The property was authentic New Orleans charm, and the staff was exceptional. I literally felt like I was at home during this stay. I travel often so I'm not easily impressed. Loved it so much, I've already booked another stay coming up in a month and a half from now. Looking forward to it ☺

Quaint historic hotel. Great location close to Frenchman market and street car which takes you to downtown. Has a few restaurants close by.
3.0 / 5.0
Hard to get my room cleaned even when I followed the directions to get a refresh. Loud, they need to do something to sound proof the rooms. The breakfast was not really a breakfast. Staff were nice. Hallway had the same ball of hair/dust outside the elevator all five days of our stay. I’d stay again but, would like them to get the feedback!

We stayed at the Royal Frenchmen Hotel for a short weekend break, and it was great; it is a boutique hotel located in the heart of the French Quarter. It was clean, the room was spacious, and the bathroom had a walk-in shower. The hotel has a bar, and the bartender was great at mixing cocktails. Different live bands perform each night. check in was smooth, if you are looking for a quiet place, it may not be a good choice for you as the hotel is located in a very vibrant neighborhood with many bars and clubs working till early hours of morning *though it may be a case of Mardi Gras celebrations. I'll definitely be looking forward to my next visit and stay. there.

Unique and fun. Great music in the lobby. Good cocktails at the bar.

I booked this hotel for the location and availability of parking. It looked nice as we checked in and went to our room. Then things took a turn for the worse. The bed was firmer than the floor and very uncomfortable. We had to call the front desk to check the water heater every time we wanted a shower. It was still only warm and not hot. All rooms can hear the band in the bar all night. There were very good bands playing in the bar. The front desk staff were not familiar with local companies. As an example we asked if we could get a carriage ride from the hotel for sight seeing. They said I would need to look that up online. We will not stay here in our future visits to the area.

The staff members are friendly and attentive. The bar has great craft cocktails. The live music is fun. However, being that it's an old building, keep in mind that your room may not have electrical outlets in the bathroom (a challenge for blow drying your hair, as that's the only place our room had a mirror.) Also, our room had no accessible/functioning windows so after a couple of days, the room was very muggy/stuffy - no fans, no way to open a window.

Terrific!
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing unique property with tons of character. Super close to Frenchmen Street with the best jazz clubs in New Orleans. Insanely amazing music downstairs in the lobby each night. The rooms were clean and the bed was firm and very comfortable. It's a quirky boutique hotel so if you're looking for a luxury hotel, this is not the place. It's also really loud at night with the live music. But for us that was a selling point. We LOVED the music and it was so fun to come home after a full day exploring New Orleans to have a cocktail and listen to some amazing musicians right in the lobby. We will definitely stay here again and really loved out whole experience.

Friendly staff. Secure parking. Large room (2 double beds upstairs on 3rd floor) tastefully decorated. The real bonus was coming back to swing dancing and jazz band in the lobby. Breakfast included.

This is a unique hotel, that I LOOK FORWARD TO STAYING AT AGAIN. It is very unique as in the evening the hotel lobby is a popular live music venue. The front desk clerk during the evening is juggling bands changing out and guests checking in. In my case, when I arrived in the evening and the band was in full swing, I didn't know where to enter to check in. I wandered down the drive-way past the BBQ food truck and saw an entry to the courtyard. It was there where I met the front desk person hanging out with her laptop. She identified me as a bewildered guest and said she would check me in the courtyard because it is so loud at her reception desk. I was concerned that the 2nd Floor room would be noisy. While my room was not over the band and instead faced the BBQ Food truck, it was very quiet. The quality of the room was very good. The bathroom, the size or the room, and sound proofing was very good. The mattress was firm. The negatives would only be the pillow cases seemed a bit corse (threadcount?) Breakfast was nothing to much than some granola bars and instant cereals. Just a few doors down across the street, there is a very good breakfast place with reasonable prices. I ate there every day. I really like the staff and the quirky vibe of the cool music downstairs and the first class room. I will gladly stay here again.
