Great spot in the quiet part of the French Quarter

New Orleans has a lot of older housing and converted housing, and this was apparently an old house on the edge of the French Quarter that was converted. The small room in a divided-up building and confined building lot space are consistent with this heritage. It is within walking distance to many French Quarter areas, businesses, and restaurants. The small room, small bathroom, and limited amenities are not for everyone. Our room had a queen bed with a foam mattress cover, but the mattress sagged into the middle. The motel-style heat pump HVAC unit was noisy, as was the dehumidifier, so all outside and other-room noise was masked. The dehumidifier does not have an attached drain, so it must be drained daily. The people responding to our needs were friendly and helpful, but there is no on-site staff for immediate and in-person advice or assistance. There is no parking on the street except for N.O. residents, so you have to find a place with no restriction or use one of the pay lots. All in all, it was expensive for what it was, but we had a good New Orleans visit, and used their recommendation for Verti Marte for food, which was very good for the price vs. most restaurants, but still fairly costly. It IS New Orleans, so, like many major cities, plan to spend more than anything is really worth, no matter what it is. Bottom line: been there, done that, so we have no need to return.

The location of this room is perfect! You can easily walk to anything on Bourbon St or Frenchman.

We stayed in the smallest room, the blue room. If you plan on staying in the blue room, just be aware that you must go through a very narrow passageway on the side of the house and then the door is also smaller than average. If you were a larger person, I wouldn’t recommend this room. They have others that I think would be more appropriate. Our friend stayed in a different room and it was super easy to get into. Also plan your luggage accordingly for the narrow passage. The property itself is adorable. It looks like a regular house in the neighborhood. The location is fantastic. It’s about a four block walk to Frenchmen Street and a few block walk to the French market and to the central part of the French quarter. The best part is it’s just far enough away that it’s quiet. The staff was fantastic. They were prompt to answer questions via email and checked on us regularly. The on-site cleaning person was wonderful. She made us feel at home. There is a shared back patio which is nice for relaxing. Each room has its own air conditioning unit, which, of course is important in New Orleans. They will give you a door code the day before you arrive to help you get through the front gate and into your individual room. All the directions were excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at Royal Barracks. The place is amazing! So close to everything, yet so quiet. It has the charm of the old New Orleans. The backyard with a small fountain adds to its unique vibe. We will definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends. Thanks a lot!

This spot is perfectly located for a stay in the quarter. Room is small but who stays in the room?? Minutes walk from Bourbon street or Frenchmen’s street, lots of local jazz and food. Felt safe at night. Bourbon street just far enough away for a quiet night’s sleep. Not a luxury experience, but the perfect French Quarter experience.

This was a wonderful place to spend 3 nights. Beds are GREAT!, room beautiful, tight and clean and cutie pie. Great garden space for mornings, right in French quarter. When can we come back??

The property staff were very communicative. The location was quiet despite its proximity to the french quarter. The rooms had ac and heat and plenty of towels. We stayed in the Jazzfest room and it was perfect for 2
