Royal Barracks Guest House

Our room was well maintained, clean, and close to a lot of attractions and restaurants. There’s a beautiful little courtyard attached and the vibe was very laid back and chill. We had to enter through a locked gate to get to our room, which also had a keypad lock and we felt safe our whole stay. My wife and I are already talking about booking again and making another trip. We had a great honeymoon!

The location and privacy of the guest house is fantastic! It has quintessential old New Orleans charm. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the shower hot. AC cold. A dehumidifier in the room helped keep it even more temperate. That said, the property is in dire need of some love and upkeep. The courtyard is lovely, but needs cleanup and mosquito treatment. Wi-Fi was impossibly slow at times. A curtain rod in my room kept falling down. Lots of dust bunnies. It met my needs, but I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

There isn't laundry as the listing says. The room was super small and we lived with a mouse.

Small, cozy, clean, adequate for the basics and fairly priced. A good breakfast/coffee place a block away. Market street 2-3 short blocks away. There is a nice little court yard. This is not big.

We had a great stay in the bunk room. We used the courtyard everyday. Location is great. One night the temperature really dipped and our room was 66 during the night and we couldn't control the heat in our room or didn't know how? Maybe it was in the binder provided? We would definitely stay again, but maybe not in the winter if we can't turn on or control heat?

So cute and quaint. We stayed in the garden room. Just enough room to move around. The furnishing and decor is very indigenous of area. The area is quiet and close to most things you may want to do. Only con is the walls are thin so, you will hear your neighbor. Parking is hit or miss. So, we just left ours on a paid lot.

Close to bourbon street but parking sucks

Small, quaint, clean, safe hotel. Absolutely amazing convenience to everything you need. No designated parking, but super easy to find a spot. Air conditioner was loud but kept the room cool. Hotel smelled old but it’s an old building so I didn’t care. Awesome courtyard! We will be back ❤️

we enjoyed our stay. A more rustic than I expected but nice. Great location to explore French Quarter - easy access to Bourbon Street festivities Only complaint is no parking. The convenient lot is a little hike. if you plan to drive a lot probably not the place for you - otherwise a very good spot

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? I sure do! This was our 2nd time at the Barracks and even being under new management, it was still a dream! Easy, no contact check in and out, clear instructions, and plenty of info. on who to call if there is a late night issue. The property itself is stunning.The courtyard possesses a magic about it, that is only emphasized by the twinkling lights, cobble stone path, and soft blues music playing throughout the evening. Inevitably, chance encounters you meet will become chosen and cherished family from all walks of life as you wonder if this was predestined? We stayed in the Garden Room this time, which was a slight upgrade from the Blues Room in size, but no less accomodating! Soft bed, clean linens, and a lovely renovated bath. We visited in August so the AC units in each room and the double freezers producing ice in the courtyard were a life saver! All of the rooms are decorated beautifully, but the photos in the Garden Room are beyond captivating! Overall, our 2nd stay topped the first! The only issue I would remedy is an upgrade to the music system in the courtyard. The music adds to the ambiance, but the CD player is not long for this world.

Unfortunately my carpet floor was wet when I arrived and the room smelt damp all week. You can hear the train horn at 5am every day too which is a shame. Apart from that, it's a good location for the French Quarter. The lady who helped with fresh towels was lovely - thank you

Convenient setup and good location, some issues with dust.

This is a historic building that is in deep need of a dehumidifier. You have to run the window A/C unit to cut the damp in this small room. The window A/C unit is full of black mold, so in essence you blow black mold air at yourself the whole time.

Charming room, very clean, and nice presentation.

Wonderful place, quiet, clean, safe and just in the middle of French quarter.

I booked the Jazz room for Essence weekend. When I entered the room there were a few flies but it was not a big deal. The problem started when I opened the shower and a huge cockroach was on the floor. I took a picture of it and flushed it. While I was sleeping ants were crawling on me. I reached out to management saying that I didn’t feel comfortable staying there because of the bugs. They told me that the room was cleaned before I got there. I emailed the pictures of the bugs I had taken and their only solution was to send a maintenance worker to spray bug spray. They didn’t even offer a different room. I then decided to leave and stay somewhere else. They have refused to refund me anything although I only stayed one night with unwanted guests. I only wanted a partial refund and was told that they couldn’t because of the hurricane & because they have a cleaning crew. I sent all my pictures to management and they were no help.

Amazing experience overall. I stayed in the jazz room, had a bit of a smell and could have been cleaner.

We loved our 3 night stay. The room was clean and cozy. The outdoor seating area was relaxing and a nice place to eat take out from a near by deli. Everything is in walking distance and felt safe. I would have liked more towels in Linen closet but our stay was great. I will definitely be back.

The place is in a great spot, very walkable, lots to do. The room we stayed in was ok, called The Suite, had lots of amazing furniture and kept with the decor. Our biggest issue was the floor, it was filthy, could not walk on it without shoes on, your socks and feet would be dirty, not clean at all. I believe I was bit by some sort or maybe, spider, 4 large bites on my hand and very itchy. The company running the rooms, had me wondering, half way through, said I had not paid for our stay, when I did through the Expedia app, and once I sent in my receipt, I got no response, just had us both wondering. Not sure I would stay again….unfortunately

Perfect place to stay in the French Quarter. Close to everything. (Bourbon St bar area and French market a 10 minute walk) Affordable. Easiest check in and check out ever. Code given to you over email. Garden Room was appropriate for French Quarter. Lots of charm. Room is small, but we spent no time in it anyway. Mattress probably needs an upgrade. Walls are thin. Didn’t bother us because we have teens/early 20 kids so we can fall asleep anywhere. Neighborhood is safe. They can accommodate big groups with connecting rooms, but I found it perfect for couples looking to experience the French Quarter without a car for a few days.

It was a nice, small room, but there was no window, and the air could feel a little sticky. The air conditioning was also very loud. Since the room is connected to the neighboring room by a door, we could hear the neighbors quite a bit. I loved the patio, and the beds were very comfortable.

Place was stylish and quiet. There was a nice common area outside with lush landscaping to relax and have a morning coffee. AC was cold. Getting in the room was a little confusing at first, but not overwhelming. Rooms are fairly small. Would stay again.

My son and I absolutely loved the room and the beds were super comfortable! We really were able to get the French quarter experience. The only negative was that the toilet closet and the shower were super small.

Staff were responsive and helpful. The guest house is cozy, charming, and secure. It is in a quieter area of the French Quarter with quick access to everything nearby. Keep in mind the age of the building and the small size of the rooms, but don't let that scare you away if you're looking for an immersive experience. Don't bother renting a car, just uber to and from the airport. You wont need it. You may want to stop at a grocery store for a few items to stock your mini fridge as the nearby grocers are small.

While the overall room was as described, there is not a traditional bathroom. The shower is in the room and the small closet the stand alone toilet is in is incredibly TINY. I am a petite female and had trouble fitting in the extremely tight space. The room holds 2 people max. As long as you know ahead of time of the space, it is located in a fabulous part of the French Quarter and super close to the Marigny.

Quiet little house with individual rooms to rent. It worked well for us just needing a place to sleep and shower. Room was well air conditioned. Bed was too soft. And head of the bed was lower than the foot. Im assuming this has to do with the foundation sinking, but could and should be corrected. Room and bathroom were clean when we arrived to check in. Close to pretty much everything and easy to walk to and from to enjoy the city.

It was acceptable but not outstanding given the price point. Tiny space, old but kinda cute.

The best was being close to bourbon street. Room was clean but was small. Overall I would stay again as long as it doesn’t rain. Unfortunately the rain dripped hard on the air conditioning unit and kept us up.

Its small, but in a good cozy quaint way. Absolutely fabulous communication! And wonderful Location! Plan on coming back and staying here again!

The Bunk Room was so quaint and perfect for a weekend stay. Easy walk to everywhere. Location perfect between French Quarter and Marigny. I was traveling alone this trip, but will stay again in one of the larger rooms with my spouse. Service responses were very fast and courteous.

Everything from check in to check out was extremely easy. Management was very responsive and helpful. Room was clean and had everything we needed for comfortable stay in a great location!

Nice, quiet, comfortable room. Steps away from any and every thing I wanted to do. Staff were attentive without being overwhelming. I will gladly stay there again.

Had a wonderful stay at Royal Barracks Guest House. Hosts were responsive and friendly and it was easy to come and go. The property provides a very private and uniquely NOLA experience. Incredibly walkable with exceptional nearby food, drink and music venues. The guest house exceeded our expectations. Hope to return soon!

A disastrous place Under NO circumstances book a room at the Royal Barracks Guest House. I say that as seasoned traveler who never complains Unable to get into the room after 10 hours travel and no one around in the night. Fortunately I could check into another nearby hotel, with a real front desk.

this was a pleasant place to stay, and in a very convenient location. I would stay here again if I am in a similar situation. The room was small but had what it needed to have, except for a box of tissues (I asked about this the first day I was there and was told "we don\'t provide that," despite the fact that virtually every hotel and motel room in the country supplies tissues). Also the Kuerig coffeemaker didn\'t work. That one is partially on me because I didn\'t report it for a few days, but instead of coming by with a replacement, I was told I could use the coffeemaker outside in the patio. The basic oddity about the RBGH is its essentially remote management. I never saw or spoke to a management person, although I did see the housekeeper a couple of times. Everything is done by email, the door codes are set remotely. If you have a problem you have to email about it and wait for an email response. For all I know the owners, or managers, don\'t even live in Louisiana.

Charming place in a good location in the French Quarter. Rooms are small but comfortable. One issue is that no one is on site, and it is difficult getting service. We had problems getting the TV to work correctly. Alll in all, a good stay in NOLA.

Easy check in

The staff were wonderful! They are quick to respond to any needs that arise, very friendly and accommodating. I felt safe and the property is located in a very convenient location...close to everything! Looking forward to staying at the property again in the future:-)

Great little spot. Everything i could have wanted being in the quarter (in the quiet peaceful part). So adorable including the courtyard and very accessible to walk anywhere. A great find!

We loved the charm of the property. It was clean and convenient to everything. It is perfectly located between Bourbon and Frenchmen St. We had a great trip.

Perfect location! Quiet and close to everything.

This is a great place to stay in New Orleans. Perfect location. Easy walk to transit and attractions. Easy check in and out. Quiet and safe.

Great location, 1 block from Bourbon Street. Area felt safe, walking distance to many jazz clubs, bars, and restaurants. Despite the proximity to Bourbon Street, it was very quiet!

Was a cool little room, nice yard area, and very close to all the major attractions .bourbon street, Frenchmen street,Louis Armstrong park Jackson park, on the doorstep

Great location that is close to attractions yet is a quiet retreat.

Located a few blocks off the main action on Bourbon was great to escape the noise but close enough to walk all around the French quarter. So much amazing food all around this place! The ceilings were tall and had cute decorations. Perfect for a solo trip.

Best location, very beautiful space!

Wonderful place, quiet, clean, safe and just in the middle of French quarter.
