Inn on Ursulines - New Orleans

A true New Orleans French Quarter experience. Funky but homey and friendly.

I stayed at Ursaline back in 1996.. the renovations were a nice improvement. The place is away from the crazyness of Bourbon St, but not a bad walking distance. I'd stay at Urusaline again.

Nice place. The service wasn't great. There was no shampoo in our shower and we had to ask for it. Additionally, our key cards did not work. The front desk woman was unable to work the machine to get us replacements, so we had to leave and hope that another employee could work it. Luckily, that employee was able to help. With that said, it is a great […] location and the rooms were fine. We would surely stay there again. Read more

Splendid!

The stay started with the front desk staff greeting us outside the hotel and helping my mother and I with our bags. She had the keys ready and helped us up to our room and got us settled. My mother is closing in on 70, and somehow the need for a handicapped room wasn't communicated to them, but the guests in the downstairs double-queen room agreed to […] switch the next day. The upstairs room was utterly charming - an L-shaped room with a fireplace and a window that looked out over Ursulines. The bathroom in both rooms were recently renovated with nice fixtures and covered in new marble tiles, and the beds were very comfortable. It was late when we got in, and she also recommended a nice neighborhood grocery, Verdi Marte, which provided an extremely satisfying sandwich for each of us. The downstairs room was spacious and comfortable. The courtyard and the rooms are very charming, the staff are very friendly and accomodating providing recommendatings and making reservations for us. The neighborhood is quiet and close to wonderful shops on Royal Street, and a nice stroll from the French Market and Cafe du Monde. For a leisurely morning, head down Ursulines to Croissant D'Or, right across Royal Street, grab some pasteries and some coffee from the hotel lobby and have a nice breakfast in the courtyard. The only criticism I had was that the cleaning staff would sometimes forget to put a liner in the wastebasket or give us more cups to replace the ones that they pitched. Read more

The best things were the location, the friendliness of the staff and the extremely comfortable beds. The rating would be higher if the rooms were bigger. We would have preferred a little more space in our room. Our first room was, as my husband called it, a "cell" There was almost no light in the room even in broad daylight. I was claustrophobic and […] asked to be moved. The desk clerk kindly moved us to a room on the courtyard which was much brighter, but not much bigger. There was not even room for a chair, which makes it difficult to dress if you are used to sitting while, for example, putting on shoes or stockings. Read more

Nice location with a real French Quarter flavor. Used to be the home of voodoo queen, Marie Laveau.

The bad: The floor was so dirty if you walked across it in your bare feet it would turn your feet black with dirt. The shower floor had mold coating the entire thing as well as the shower curtain. The next morning I informed the front desk and she said she would have housekeeping clean. This never happened. The toilet leaked water and had a puddle in […] our bathroom. There is no bathroom like advertised. The good: Awesome location. Great beds. Complained again at end of stay about mold and the clerk refunded $20 of our parking fee. Read more

Our first stay at the Inn and everything was perfect. Staff and rooms were great. Very close to Bourbon and other areas

It was very quiet and pretty room, just an overall great stay

Genuine Expedia guest review

this is a realy good place, no noise, excellent beds, great coffee, the only bad thing is the lack of opening windows in the room and bathroom, it get realy humid and no ventilation at all, but every thing was perfect.

This a wonderful small hotel right in the French Quarter within easy walking distacnce of everything. It room was very clean and cozy. The staff were outgoing and friendly and extremely helpful. It's just far enough off Bourbon St. to be quiet. If you are a fan of small boutique type hotels this a great choice. Price was very reasonable. We will definately […] stay here onour next trip.

This was quaint and we are always up for an adventure. But, the structure is greatly gally-whumpus, i.e. off kilter. It was very disorienting--we were not drinking (business) but felt drunk/hung over. We got sea sick and took days to shake it. As freqent visitors to the city, I feel sure we could have booked this poperty ourselves for much cheaper than […] we paid with hotels.com. But, an adventure. Read more

I hesitantly say "No" that I wouldn't recommend this one, because the location is perfect, as well as the people are nice; however, they could make some inexpensive but necessary improvements/ cleaning to make the place "pop"...the plumbing issues that they pawn-off as due to the age of the place could be corrected with tightening the faucets, etc, […] and cleaning the dust off the window unit/ fans...also, it's in the heart of NOLA...old pastries in wrappers and rotting fruit is kinda sad for the provided "continental breakfast"...there are inexpensive pastry places everywhere...just ask the guests WHO would be interested in fresh pastries the next morning (& run across the street to pick-up a couple fresh danishes)...otherwise the character of the place is nice, the wine/cheese hour is nice, and Ladybug (the canine hostess) is wonderful Read more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. We booked through this site, but then stayed an extra night on our own and it makes sense to call the hotel and ask their rates unless they just gave us a discount for staying an extra night. They were very accommodating about letting us stay in the same room as they called the incoming guests and asked if […] it would be alright to change their room. Breakfast is a do it yourself affair at a little kitchenette but they have pots and pans and let you have access to a fridge and microwave, so you are able to prepare something aside from the cereal, muffins, toast, fruit and coffee/tea that are already set up. There is a tiny little courtyard that has been very pleasant to eat in and never over crowded. The rooms are quiet and clean. The staff has been very friendly and understanding and worked with us when we ended up having a few issues. You are smack next to Bourbon Street and Frenchman St. I would recommend you check out the latter if you are tired of the frat party that is Bourbon street, though both are a lot of fun. The location seemed very safe and it was easy to find all the touristy spots. There is no real street parking available, but they recommended a parking lot about a half mile away, where there is a actually a nice inexpensive place to eat called Mona's Cafe. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this place. Read more

I sat in the courtyard one night and two rats ran in front of me. The hotel staff was EXCELLENT but the room really needed a good cleaning. I tried to remember it is an old, old building in the French Quarter.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There should be no surprises here. Great deal for the $$$. Wine & cheese each afternoon.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The only problem was that our room was up 2 narrow steep flights of stairs. This is not easily done if you're elderly and infirm. We would stay again as long as we could get a ground level room. The ambience is typical New Orleans, and the other guests were friendly and fun. The location was quiet, but close enough to the places we wanted to go.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

we stayed one night, and it was one too many! i have stayed in my share of sketchy hotels, but this one may take the cake! i'm ok with small, older hotels as long as they're clean. our room was very dingy, there is a big hole in the wall, one of the beds tilts at about a 30 degree angle and was very lumpy. the bathroom was pretty scary--the toilet barely […] flushed, the shower was smaller than any i've ever seen (and i've been to europe!) and it looked like it hasn't seen a good scrubbing in a while. the worst part is, my friend saw a GIANT COCKROACH in the bathroom!! he did not tell us about it until the next morning, or i would have insisted on leaving immediately. apparently, it was the size of a hamster, no kidding. we couldn't get out of there fast enough! everyone was very friendly, and the place is very laid back, but i just cannot imagine going there again....

This is a great location but on the website they say SELF PARKING, It should say NO PARKING, you have to park 1/2 mile from hotel and YOU HAVE TO PAY $18.00 (12-24 Hrs.) They say wine & cheese at 6PM, we left to go out at 7:15 and still no wine or cheese. After 6 PM no front desk service until 8AM. This price was good if they included parking and I […] will probably not stay at this Hotel again. B.R, LA Read more

We had a fabulous time and would stay at the Ursuline again in a heartbeat. The owner was very helpful in recommending great places to eat and was a great host at the daily wine and cheese tasting events.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The guest house owners could not have been kinder or more accomodating. However, the room and furnishings were very outdated and you almost felt like you were in a campground cabin. Bathroom sink did not drain well, heater did not work, but they brought us another portable one. It was just a lot rougher, more outdated, and not very quaint. Courtyard, […] hot tub, and the hospitality were great. Read more

This is a no frills but really great hotel to stay at, especially if you want to get a feel for the locals & the neighborhood vibe of the French Quarter. It’s like a 'Mom & Pop' (or maybe a 'Pop & Pop') kind of establishment. It has a very folksy & friendly atmosphere with a timeworn but comfortable feel to it. Make no mistake. You will not think you […] are at the Ritz. The trade off is character & quaintness for luxury & high end furnishings… and a substantial rate differential. It just depends on what you are looking for. I really enjoyed my stay & would recommend the hotel & would stay again in the future. The evening wine & cheese ‘meet-n-greet’ was a really nice way to casually get to know the proprietors & the other guests. Read more

The Ursuline Guest House was a great place to stay for a couple or single traveler. The location in the French Quarter was excellent - only blocks away from Bourbon Street and Jackson Square. The rooms surround a courtyard, and looked like they were renovated from old slave quarters. The rooms were clean and comfortable but not modern, so if you are […] looking for a hotel with all the bells and whistles look elsewhere. The owners and staff were friendly and helpful! I would definitely stay again. Read more

The Guest House was fantastic! The people and staff were very friendly and the room was delightful. Very convienient to everything in the Quarter. Had a wonderful stay there!

Very Comfortable, in a great location away from all the noise. This hotel is OLD as you would expect from such a beautiful part of the French Quarter, but it is tastefully decorated and well maintained. Naw'lins is a city with edge... You need to have your wits about you and we felt totally safe coming home to Inn on Ursaline each night. The beds are […] sooo comfortable and the staff were helpful and informative, especially Jennifer. I love this place! Read more

The lights in the room were not working or really dim. We had to scramble our way in the night. TV was not working. We couldn't take a shower as the water pressure was too low. They did have muffins and coffee for breakfast but we just needed to get out as quickly as possible. The hotel is conveniently located close to the French market but condition […] of room was not up to the standard. Our 2nd hotel for a lesser price proved to be so much better than this one. More like a back packers motel. Read more

Great location in the quarter but very poorly maintained rooms with little to no security on our room and no where to put larger valuables. The breakfast is poor and the person at the desk mostly unhelpful. The street noise was really bad and we didn't feel safe leaving anything in the room as the door on the street was previously broken and looked […] as though you could pull it open. Read more
