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.

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.

Awesome Hotel!

The location was fabulous and the service was outstanding. Our room was clean and lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. I especially loved the deep tub in the bathroom. The bar downstairs was a lot of fun and provided the perfect nigthcap for our evening out. All this at a truly competetive rate! I would highly recommend the International House to anyone traveling to New Orleans. I know we plan to stay there on our next visit.

Expected The Best -

After reading the reviews I thought I would be blown away with excellent customer service. I wasn't. First, when we arrived at the hotel there was no one to help direct us with parking and unloading our luggage. Quite frankly, there was no where to park to check-in. It was confusing. When we finally made it into the hotel lobby I was impressed. As I walked to the hotel desk I was expecting the best. The two hotel employees did not speak to me as I approached the desk. As a matter-of-fact, I was the first to speak. Overall, our stay was ok. The rooms were super clean! This hotel may be rated 4 stars, but they must make every customer feel like a "Guest". Right now, they do not.

Beautiful bar

The bar is a great place to start the night, and the hotel is close to everything. Wonderful hotel, very friendly service. Would recommend to anyone.

Chic Hotel in New Orleans

Thank you for recommending "International House" on Camp St. for our recent overnight stay in New Orleans. It was a very hip place to stay, and it was very close to the French Quarter. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the penthouse level (same size room) for the same cost, and we had access to the entire patio on the roof that was decorated with comfotable chairs and tables. The staff provided very friendly service. And the hotel was very clean. The bar in the lobby area was decorated with beautiful chandeliers and chic furniture and is a popular one from what I hear. Thanks again!

Wonderful Stay

We are a local couple that stay at various hotels in the city just to get away. This was, by far, one of the best. Everyone from the front desk to the doorman were exceptional. The bar (Loa) in the lobby was comfortable and accomodating. We look forward to our next stay!

Outstanding Hotel

The International Hotel was an absolute dream. Everything about this place was relaxing and totally chic. I loved that it was located right near the French Quarter. We walked everywhere, while we stayed at the hotel. The hotel bar, Loa, was fantastic and the drinks were priced reasonably. The large bath tub was the perfect ending to a long day of site seeing. It was very clean and we felt safe and comfortable during our stay. We will choose this hotel again on our next trip to New Orleans.

Simply Elegant

Our stay there was great from beginning until end. The service was very friendly and professional and the decor of the hotel was very classy. We arrived two hours before check in and they allowed us to check in early for no additional charge. The room was small but very elegant and clean. We truly enjoyed our stay. I think the hotel was a great value...

Excellent!!

I was expecting a descent hotel that was close to the quarter but was very pleased to discover this fantastic hotel! Beautiful rooms, lobby was elegant. Fine deal for a fine hotel!

Cool atmosphere, great value

Rooms can be had here quite reasonably. The staff is very courteous and attentive. There is a lively bar right off the lobby. Rooms are clean, bathrooms are updated and the beds are firm. Excellent location central to the French Quarter and central business district. No complaints.

Hip, Trendy and not too spendy

My husband and I booked this hotel for a spur of the moment weekend trip. We did very little research and just trusted the couple of reviews we read. We were not disappointed. This is a great hotel, easy walking distance to all the street car lines, Bourbon Street, Harrahs Casino, the waterfront, pretty much anywhere you would want to go in New Orleans. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated, nice designer touches and high end "spa" type procucts in the bathroom. We liked it so much we stayed an extra night. We were a little late to rise on that third day and housekeeping called our room to make sure we wanted service (we did, we were just being lazy). Great service. We'll recommend this place and we'll stay here again.
