905 Royal Hotel

Stayed at 905 Royal, Halloween weekend, visiting NOLA for the first time. I stayed by myself in one of the first floor rooms. It was just perfect for my 4 night stay. Clean, cute, & comfortable. Great location. Staff was friendly and more than helpful throughout my stay. Thank you so much ladies! Cant wait to come back and visit!

I have stayed at this hotel for the past several years. The hotel is the oldest hotel in the Quarter, so the décor is primarily with antiques and the bathroom is EXTREMELY small. The owners are very nice and they have always responded positively to every request. The location is excellent and very convenient to Jackson square and Bourbon street. I will stay there on future trips.

The hotel staff was so rude, and the customer service was so poor, that I decided not to stay here. I made a reservation for Labor Day weekend, which is the peak of hurricane season. In the reservation, I noted that although I was paying in full, I would expect a full refund if a hurricane prevented me from staying in the hotel. A hotel representative called me the next morning and said she did not accept my terms. If I wanted to keep the reservation I would have to e-​mail them to confirm that I accept their terms. She was extremely rude about it. The next day, I e-​mailed the hotel to let them know that I was not in agreement with their terms and did not want to make the reservation. It was a courtesy message on my part since the reservation should not have gone through without my e-​mail confirmation. The representative said I didn’t cancel it on the same day as our phone conversation (which was not our agreement) and therefore they must withhold a $ 35 cancellation fee. I now have to dispute the charge with my credit card company.

Great place, location is the key. It’s an old house, so you just need to not expect the St. Regis. Perfect, romantic in the old school sense; the Quarter.

If you like old world, without the charm…905 is for you.
If you like water damaged peeling wallpaper and a damp musty odor…905 is for you.
If you like none of the luxuries of a 5 star hotel… 905 is for you.
The only saving grace for this place, at $ 285 /​night… Is the location. The balcony facing Royal street provides non stop entertainment all day and night right in the middle of the French quarter.
The bathroom and kitchenette are clean but very small. I would not stay here again.

During our stay in New Orleans, my boyfriend and I were willing to spend a little more money and get ourselves a decent hotel. We arrived at the 905 (without a reservation) and were able to rent a room for three days, no problem. This hotel is one block away from Bourbon street which makes it convenient yet not annoying. It is a fairly quiet street which is nice when it is time for sleep. We had our own mini kitchen as well as a living room and bedroom, complete with door separator that helped keep the street noise down while napping during the day. The décor was Victorian feeling which made us enjoy the room even more. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in the French Quarter and willing to pay a little bit of an extra price.

For the price, 905 Royal is a perfect little hideaway from the chaos of the Quarter. We were overjoyed to find something so affordable on the most beautiful street in New Orleans! Not a typical hotel, more like a bed and breakfast with quaint rooms in an old Victorian, each with comfy beds and kitchenettes. Very clean, quiet and a lot like having our own apartment in our favoritest place in the US… would certainly return.

I love this place. I stayed here 2 nights of my trip to NOLA.
It’s amazing. Clean, private, quiet. Beautiful. We had the room in the back next to the courtyard. (Ok, the shower stall is a little tiny bit tiny. but how much of your trip do you spend in there? not much)
awesome, oldschool. Friendly people. I just love this place. Far enough removed from the Bourbon Street craze but close enough that it’s just 2 min walk.
I am so not a romantic, and even this place put me in that frame of mind for long mornings spent on the patio with coffee, and my soulmate.
Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable compared to most of the NOLA hotels — this place is the best kept secret.
