Parking is hard to find late at night. The only major issue we had with the place was the floors are old and have weak spots. My wife wore heals to the theater on Saturday night and ended up that her heel went through the wooden floors once we got back.

I did not care for all the keypad locks that were on most of the doors. One of the locks the battery died and we were stuck in a hallway which caused me anxiety. All I though of was, what if there was a fire. Apparently, there was another way to get out but we were not notified of that. The room was very dark and musty smelling.

Loved this property!!!! It was easy to walk to the French Quarter and Frenchman Street. With a quick Uber drive, it was in the perfect location. The room was cute and the property was amazing. There was a cute garden with a pool and a hot tub. I will be back again!!!

The property is quite old and updates have been made. Our room was comfortable and clean. The door to an upper back entrance was supposed to be closed at all times. However, the door would not close tight. Important to know that there are no elevator and the stairs are many.

The listing for the hotel does not explain that there are two buildings across the street from one another. Additionally you receive an email from the hotel telling you to call in to reserve for parking and for early check-in. You do not need to reserve parking because you may end up in a building that's not even near the parking. There is also plenty of street parking. Additionally the first room we were given the AC did not work and the attendant did not know how the AC worked. She also did not proactively suggest that we go to another room instead she took time to try to figure out how to turn the AC on which we already had done so before she came into the room. After we had asked to be switched to another room she did oblige. However at that point it was past the early check-in window. We then had to request for a refund of the early check in fee instead of it being proactively offered to be refunded. The hotel was safe. I liked how it was gated with a code. It was also only a 5 to 10 min uber ride to the french quarter.

Check in went smoothly. The noise level in the hall way and people slamming doors was annoying. The floor of the shower sounded like we were going to fall through it. The toilet was loose so in the middle of the night that was jarring. There is free parking on the street and we used that even though we paid for parking which was down the block and across the street. It was more convenient to park in the street. The “breakfast” consisted of bananas and tiny mandarin oranges and oatmeal bars. I know this is an old building but I don’t think we will be staying again. The room was too small. I’m glad I didn’t pay for a patio since the building next to the hotel was some dilapidated home that should be condemned. Sadly people actually live there.

An amazing value for the rate. A short walk from Frenchman street and the Quarter in one direction, a slightly longer walk the other direction to the amazing NOMA Sculpture garden and St Louis Cemetery 3. Clean, quiet, with a relaxing pool and hot tub out back. Rooms are small but well appointed, and the bed was crazy comfortable.

Beautiful properties but the upkeep was rather minimal. We upgraded to a king suite with balcony. There was a four poster rice bed of which one of the four posters were broken. The glass is left for us to use we're filthy. The entire room was slanted and there was no hot water in the shower. After having owned a Victorian that was 122 years old for 16 years. I understand what's required to upkeep one. The upkeep at this one was rather minimal. The location was wonderful and the staff was very accommodating. The bedding and bathroom were both clean. More attention needs to be paid to the rooms themselves, the furniture, decor and ensure that each unit has hot water.

Creamer and coffee lacked attention. The beds are getting old as we had a hump between us. You have to waste 5 gallons of water before the shower finally heats up. It is tough to navigate schedules and transportation in LA. Overall, the hotel is very old, and we never used maid service, so for the most part, I'll give it a 4-star rate.

Our first experience in New Orleans. We decided on the rathbone for two reasons. 1. It had the authentic feel of New Orleans 2. It had a pool and a hot tub to enjoy To start with the hot tub is just that a hot tub not a Jacuzzi. After spending a full day in New Orleans we come back to our room and my wife's foot went through the floor In the room that we were staying in. They're refunded our money for our stay and we left.This house/Mansion needs many many upgrades and is basically falling apart.

Beautiful property within walking distance to Bourbon street. There are two buildings, both lovely old homes. Our room was very comfortable, with a balcony that we enjoyed tremendously. Bathroom was modern, which is always nice in an older building. The pool and hot tub were not modern, but that’s what made them so great. Thank you Rathbone staff for a perfect stay!

Very comfortable and cute. The Rathbone is two lovely old houses across the street from each other. We stayed in a room on the back courtyard. The room was large, with a mini fridge and microwave and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. It’s an old building, and that shows a bit (hot water ran out one morning), but no deal breakers for us. They put out coffee and modest breakfast items (instant oatmeal, fruit) in the reception room every morning, although not always as early as advertised. Neighborhood around the buildings is urban, but seemed safe, and we walked out to informal dining. Would definitely stay there again.

I’m calling it now - I’ll be staying with Rathbone mansions every time I visit NOLA. Communications were seamless, clear and accommodating. The staff are incredibly friendly, kind and generous - especially as we encountered some issues on our check out day (they really saved us from some challenging travel issues). The rooms are very great - for the value, it’s everything you need and the bed is so so comfortable. And the LOCATION - perfectly situated near all of our destinations, and quiet enough help us get a decent nights sleep. Thank you Rathbone for a fantastic experience, we most certainly WILL be back!!

My husband and I have not had the best experience finding a good place to stay when we travel, but Rathbone Mansions ended our bad luck streak. It was such a beautiful property, and we never felt unsafe. We arrived after the front office had closed and they were well prepared, and an off duty staff member even came to help us when she saw us looking confused! We only had one problem during our stay - which wasn’t even a problem for long because not only did they ease our concerns, they provided solutions. They even followed up with us the next morning to offer more solutions even though we were set to depart. We loved how walkable it was with both local and tourist locations. We couldn’t recommend this place more and look forward to coming back! (also totally recommend the hot tub after a long drive!)

Clean and spacious room. Easy self check in. Great pool and hot tub in the back with a bar (I used the pool in the morning so I didn’t see the bar operating). Perfect location within walking distance to the French Quarter but far enough to have plenty of free (and apparently safe) street parking, and no street noise. Rooms could have more towels tho, specially in a place where there is nobody at the lobby after 6pm. We tried getting more towels in the morning but couldn’t find anyone there either. Overall awesome stay and will definitely stay here again next time I’m in town.

Breakfast is a light breakfast (Coffee, protein bars and fruit) The needs to be a few updates to property like lighting and door locks.
