Great location comfortable rooms fast elevators friendly staff - all good
1.5 / 5.0
We were there 4 nights. Room cleaning erratic. Had towels with stains 2 nights. Poor quality towels. Stains on the walls from water leaks. Did not refill coffee or cups one night. Location on Bourbon Street is convenient but definitely not worth the price.

A wonderful comfortable stay in the middle of all the action!

Only issue was getting extra supplies from housekeeping. It took a day before we got any help

All of the staff was super friendly. Door man, front desk and valets were highlights of the stay. Had the Bourbon balcony and although I didn’t stay out super late the outside noise didn’t make it impossible to fall asleep. Parking is easy to find, just put the hotel address in google maps and stay on Conti until you pass the hotel then look to your right. Christmas decorations were amazing, lots of photo opportunities. Everyone greeted my dog and there’s some natural green space for dogs about a 10 minute walk away.

Wonderful costumer service! All employees were so friendly! Alberto at Desire Oyster bar was the best! Housekeeping service the room even though we left our room rather late each day. Doormen were delight! Only negative was all the construction on Bourbon street but that was of no fault of the hotel.

Really horrible rooms. Smelt like major mold and vents not changed. I got an asthma attack after the first day. Big Cockroaches in my first room. I was switched without help and no a same dark room on another floor even after asking for a room with more air. The rooms were also FRIGID and the blankets really thin. The thermostats don't work. Can't sleep. Paid daily resort fee and the aren't any amenities pool is frigid. Don't even know why paying. Please see my other hotel reviews, I don't ever complain but for this one I highly suggest not to stay here

Very clean, just no phone or microwave in the room. They did bring both after I asked just thought why wasn't it in the room to begin with. Also no clear instructions on if there was room service or what the amenities were. Great location.
2.0 / 5.0
I liked the location a lot and the room was very nice. Even though our room was right on Bourbon street the noise was not bad. The front desk staff seemed disinterested on check in and not welcoming. We had some issues with hot water in our room. The first two days you had to run the water for about several minutes for the shower to get hot - I didn’t say anything bc it did eventually get there. But the last day it never got hot no matter how long I let it run.

I am leaving a review because to call this stay bad would be an understatement. The room was in ruins, I didn’t even have blankets or proper towels - it was dirty and unclean. The person who was working the front desk was beyond rude and my debit card mysteriously disappeared from the room. I’ve stayed here before many times but after the pandemic it’s gone to shambles. I feel unsettled by how bad this experience was. The safe was conveniently broken.

Perfect and excellent location

This room and rate was advertised as Bourbon Street balcony. The room I was issued is side street balcony. I went to the desk and complained. Told them the importance of this and that the rate I paid was for bourbon balcony. All of those rooms were already assigned. This was a big deal and a huge mistake.

We were there for Taylor Swift weekend. Very welcoming
2.0 / 5.0
The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and the mattress was comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is that it is in the middle of everything. It also has everything you need. Without leaving the hotel you can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and go to a jazz bar, get a massage, and more. The dinner restaurant, Revolutions, was the best restaurant I have ever been to. It's expensive but worth it. I live in NC and I would take a 2 days trip to New Orleans just to have dinner here. The only thing I did not like about the hotel was the tub and shower curtain in my room and the TV. The Tv literally took about 6 second between channel changes and there was no way to connect to your accounts such as Netflix. Anything worth watching was an additional charge. For $1200 a night, I would think a decent shower and TV would be standard. I would definitely stay here again but would request a room with an updated bathroom.

The bed was terribly uncomfortable. The head was lower than the feet. Couldn’t eat at the restaurant because it was too booked, someone pulled the fire alarm at 4 am and didn’t sleep well.

It would have been nice to know when we booked this very expensive room over looking Bourbon street with a balcony that there would be construction right in front making noise all day. The room was basic, the refrigerator didn't work. They said they would send someone up right away and didn't. Our food spoiled. They said they would credit back some funds but i have yet to see it. I don't think i would stay here again. The price was very high for what we did and didn't receive.

The hotel was clean and the location was very convenient. We at at both hotel restaurants and they were excellent. The staff was always helpful and professional. And we think the hotel is a fine value for money.

Excellent location, well maintained property and clean rooms. I had booked my resevation via Expedia and there was drink/food credit - at check in the front desk staff did not offer it right at the check in, we had to go and ask for that later next day. Not a big deal but something for the hotel management to train the staff.

I'm a local who booked a few nights 4 a staycation in my beloved city. First impression.. the lobby was beautifully lit and welcoming. My room was clean and tidy & I was glad they had a fridge. Property was maintained. Great location on Bourbon Street & easy access to other areas in the French Quarter. This property had security personnel visible outside & inside the property. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this property & would stay there again!

Wonderful hotel! Would stay again and would highly recommend it to family and friends.
2.5 / 5.0
Great and helpfull staff. Room was very clean but out a/c was exteamly loud. We are not light sleepers so it wasnt necessarily a problem for us. Hoel os beautiful but old, but to be expected due to where it is located. Will come back and stay again, it is in the heart of things. That being said get there early as they close Bourbon st at around 5pm and taxi will not be able to drop you off at the door.
2.5 / 5.0
From start to finish and even my preliminary questions, this property was A-1! In the heart of the city, it was beautiful. The restaurants in the resort were great as well. It was also a great addition that I received a discount on some of the attractions in the areas. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at The Royal Sonesta.
It started with a genuine and warm welcome when we arrived. Nice large room that was tidy and clean: although the hotel is in the middle of Bourbon Street, our room on the 6th floor was strangely very shielded from sound and light. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Distance from the airport by taxi is less than 30 minutes.
