International House

What a disappointment...

After reading the other comments, I was very excited about staying at this hotel. The lobby was great, but the room was such a disappointment. It was small with tiny windows, a TV set at least 15 years old with a broken remote, and a bathroom with nowhere to put your toiletries. The hair dryer broke the first day, and the toilet broke the last. The staff was very helpful, but nothing could make us forget the terrible room.

Small room for the money

The room was the size of a shoebox. For the rate I paid, I could have had two rooms down the street and thrown a party.

Great Overall, but breakfast would have been nice!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Internation House, but I wished they had breakfast...it was slightly inconvenient to have to go next door in the rain to eat, however they did give us an umbrella so that was nice!

Great Hotel

Stayed here twice within the last 4 weeks. Great staff, very helpful and friendly. Restaurant has terrific food!! Rooms nice, will definitely stay again!

Great service, terrible hotel rooms

My wife and I arrived at the hotel at night. The lobby, bar, elevators, and hallways looked nice. We got up to our room, opened the door and looked at each other in shock and started laughing. We couldn't believe how small and uninviting the room was! Barely any room to fit our bags. No counter space in the bathroom. The first night the air conditioning couldn't keep the room comfortable, even with the ceiling fan on. The windows were so thin we could hear EVERYTHING on the street. The bed was very uncomfyand the TV was ancient. We ended up getting no sleep the first night. In the morning I spoke to the front desk about leaving. The wanted us to stay so they changed our room to hopefully a better room. The next room was a bit better larger but smelled like mold. Still another uncomfortable bed, poor air conditioning, and ancient TV witha remote control that didn't work. We went right across the street and booked a room for the next 2 nights over at another hotel. This hotel has great customer service from the staff, but the hotel itself is not worth it at all!!! I don't know how it is getting such high reviews from other people. Don't be fooled by the pictures and good reviews.

Great room for the money

Hotel is beautiful and room is clean.

Great location and atmosphere

Although the atmosphere and location were great, the drawback was that the rooms didn't not have their own temperature controls and it was much warmer than I would have liked.

Parking is a complete rip off

paking was 38 dollars a day. Total rip off

Exceeded my expectations

Nice common area, friendly desk staff who helped me with dinner selections. Room was good sized and well-laid out. Bathroom was good sized. Good selection of TV channels, although the TV wasn't big or flatscreened. But hey, you're in New Orleans, get out of the room and live a little! Outside the French Quarter, but conveniently located to French Quarter, to Harrah's & to streetcars. A/c plus ceiling fan kept room cool.

Dated and tired

While the hotel is well situated, it has seen better days. The rooms are very drab and decorated in beige tones from 1992. For a supposedly hip, boutique hotel, they are missing modern amenities like flat screen tv's and ipod hookup sounds systems. It WAS nice to have free wi-fi, but that didn't make up for the overall appearance of the room. Also, people should know that as a boutique hotel, room service is over by 10pm. In a city like New Orleans when people get home much later than that, you are out of luck if you want to order anything "after hours".

Great value near the Quarter

This hotel was recomended to me by a co-worker. I was pleasently suprised to find it to be as nice as it was. I was looking for a hotel near the quarter, but not too close. This was perfect. The hotel was very trendy and the room was small but nicely appointed. We will definitly be staying here again.

Great style in the city

Beautiful hotel and excellent food at Rambla. The rooms were stylish and the staff was very helpful. We did not get to partake of the hotel bar, but it looked like a really good time. We will be coming back very soon.
