Creole Gardens

I really need to rave about this place for a minute.
I love how cozy the house itself is– there are rooms in the back area and there is a nice colorful patio. We were in one of the back rooms that is right off of the street and it was nice and quiet and we weren’t bothered at all. The room is small, but if you are looking for a great «crash pad» during Mardi Gras, or any other time that you are visiting, this is the place for you.
I love this neighborhood, and there are a lot of bars and restaurants in the area that are walkable and the streetcar is just a few blocks over. The staff is as nice as can be– the first time I dealt with a man and the second time I dealt with a woman. I think they are both owners and they were helpful in getting us cabs so that we could zip around town.
Creole Gardens has a complimentary breakfast for customers– one at 7am and one at 9am. You order at the kitchen and they bring your food to you in the dining room.

My sister and I needed a place to stay for one night in New Orleans and we decided on Creole Gardens because of their good pricing, prime location in the garden district, fun atmosphere, and of course complimentary hot breakfast!
The customer service was superb. Before we even arrived they contacted us to give instructions for after hours check-​in in case we were running late which was a relief because we got off to a late start on our trip. Upon arriving we were greeted by an enthusiastic and helpful staff member. He gave us many great suggestions on where to eat and go out which proved to be all great choices! He gave us a personal tour of the b&b and even allowed my sister to park her car in a safer area of their parking since she was moving and had all her belongings in it.
The room was quaint and stylish which was perfect for us. The next morning we were able to get up and run around the garden district because the b&b was in such a prime location. When we returned we were given a delicious hot breakfast with plenty of fruit, drinks, and other standard breakfast items to choose from.
Definitely would stay here again on my next visit!

I could go on and on about how much I loved
this place. It’s dog friendly, no size, quantity, or breed restrictions! This property contains 3 neighboring buildings, the mansion, the bordello, and the slave quarters and each has a different feel/​charm. We stayed in the bordello and had an upstairs room with a balcony facing Prytania. This place has all the old historic New Orleans charm you could possibly want. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We felt very safe and comfortable and had an awesome anniversary stay with Creole Gardens! We will be returning in the future!

Dog lovers, this is your place in NOLA!!! Nicely decorated Dog friendly rooms, other dog people to hang out with, great staff, great location, etcetera. Book here for your next trip to New Orleans!!!

Very clean. Staff very nice. Breakfast good. Nice courtyard. The place is close to the trolley which is just one block over, that made it very easy to get to Canal Street which is the edge of the French Quarter. There are also a couple of juice bars & organic food cafes across the street from Creole Gardens. That is something I love so to me it was very important. There was no iron in the room.

If you are looking for cookie cutter rooms, this is not the place for you. But if you want an amazing Garden District experience, pick Creole Gardens. The staff is fantastic and very helpful. Plenty of great restaurants and pubs within walking distance. This is an old property so be prepared to deal with a few quirks, but we couldn’t have been happier staying here. The Bordello Room has a private porch and we even ended up staying an extra night because we didn’t want to leave. I can’t say enough about how fantastic this B&B is!

My husband and toddler daughter recently stayed here for two nights for my sisters wedding. The staff was very accommodating. We had confirmed multiple times before we arrived that they would have a pack and play available for our stay. My mother arrived the day before me and checked again, and the were unable to find the pack and play, so the owner went out and bought a brand new one for us to use during our stay. We stayed in mansion 3 and the room was beautiful with high ceilings and plenty of space for us with our daughter.
Most of the guests for the wedding stayed at the hotel and the courtyard and dining area were perfect for people to get together.
Also, easy access to the St. Charles streetcar line.

Our stay at Creole Gardens this summer was a treat. They were able to accommodate our (very) late check in without a problem. Our suite was beautify decorated, had magnificent king size bed, and a back door that opened to the courtyard. Breakfast served was hot and fresh with something different every day. The staff was wonderful and helpful with tips for getting around the city and where the New Orleans hot spots were.
We would absolutely stay here again if we make our way back to New Orleans.

What a fantastic place to stay. I thought the free breakfast was going to be some cereal and pastries. It was cooked-​to-​order eggs and corned beef hash with toast and fresh fruit salad and a million other things, and strawberry sorbet for dessert, in the light-​filled front room with fresh flowers on the tables and white tablecloths. I was blown away. I loved our room, I loved the staff, I loved the colors. It was a dream– thank you Creole Gardens!

We were traveling on our way from Tucson Arizona to Raleigh North Carolina and we stopped in for a day to stay on New Orleans. Words cannot describe how happy I was to stay here. Since we were relocating, we had our two dogs with us. They were really dog friendly and the dog park was close by. The room that we stayed in was a cottage on the second floor. Small and cozy, the bathroom was huge and the floorings were perfect for the dogs. Our doggies loved it there. The staff was really nice and we even ate on the porch on the swing. The downtown was close by. We took the streetcar from a block away to canal at. And on the way back we über from bourbon street for $ 5 – 6, which was great. Great location for everything! I know for a fact that I will be coming back here to stay here again.

Enjoying the outdoor space this evening! DJ playing old 45 records after Mitch Woods played the piano.

We booked a room here last minute and got the penthouse. This is an old house that has been fixed up nicely and is Less than a mile from the French quarter. Our room was the converted attic space at the top of two staircases and we had our own rooftop patio. Excellent staff and a great breakfast of bacon and French toast. I wish we could have stayed an extra day.

My fiancé and I are regrettably on our way home from New Orleans and of the many wonderful things we did while visiting staying at Creole Gardens bed and breakfast was our best decision.
The entire staff was amazing, warm and friendly, the room we stayed in was just beautiful and had so much character, we had a hard time motivating ourselves to get out and explore the city because it was so cozy there and the breakfasts Anne made were some of the best meals we’ve ever had! Additionally Creole Gardens is in a wonderful location in close proximity to the warehouse district, museums and the french quarter.
The only downside to our stay was leaving and I can honestly say we will never stay anywhere else in New Orleans. So, If you’re looking for a charming bed and breakfast, with a welcoming staff and delicious southern breakfasts each morning look no further!

Love this place! Friendly staff, very welcoming. Annie fixes a wonderful southern breakfast every morning. My Florida raised husband was thrilled for real southern grits with his eggs. We had an issue with too much light coming in the sheer curtains the first night and they had them changed within minutes.
Fantastic location. 1 block from St. Charles and many food options as well as the street car. We tried everything from Voodoo BBQ to The Irish House to even Delmonico (it was our anniversary!).
Get away from the chains and meet the locals. Take a walk in a real nieghborhood. You won’t regret it!

The quintessential New Orleans experience that you’re looking for. The place is clean, quiet, warm and friendly. Breakfast is included and worth it. The rooms are charming and delightful. The location is in walking distance to shops, food, and booze. We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back.

If you visit New Orleans and don’t get out of the French Quarter, you’re missing something amazing: the chance to live in an authentic neighborhood among some of the warmest and most welcoming people you could ever hope to know. We spent a couple of days in the lovely Bywater district (downtown/​downriver) then moved uptown to this unique bed-​and-​breakfast inn in the Lower Garden District. What a treat. Miss Annie aka Motown Queen Anne is in charge of the kitchen and is also a dj, spinning classic records on Friday nights and special occasions, like the Sunday art show and vintage clothing sale that took place while we were there. A wonderful lady named Andie, newly arrived in New Orleans to live near her daughter, greeted us at check-​in and shared our wide-​eyed enthusiasm about New Orleans and the neighborhood.
Since we were staying longer than originally expected, and the inn was fully booked by people requesting specific rooms, we had to move once during our stay here but it was an opportunity to sample the place in two different moods. (Take their website’s advice and book your room directly, by PHONE; the rooms are all so different, and an online booking service isn’t going to give you all your options.)
First we had Cottage 12. The «cottages» are actually rooms in the old servants’ quarters («dependency») behind the mansion, wrapping around three sides of a big communal courtyard. Cottage 12 was an airy, high-​ceilinged space painted in cool blues and whites, so pretty! It can be a little noisy (sounds of early risers outside in the morning) and the white curtains don’t do much to darken the room, so if you’re a light sleeper you might mention that when selecting your room. Cottage 12 had a mini-​fridge and like both of our rooms it was dog-​friendly. The clawfoot tub really functions as a shower, since it has a shower-​style drain.
Our next room and hands-​down favorite was the front downstairs room at the Bordello, a vintage two-​story building next door. These rooms are each named for a famous New Orleans madam from the Streeterville era, and ours was Countess Willie Piazza’s Hall of Splendor. Fist pump! It was fabulous: four poster bed curtained all around in wine-​red lace, an old fireplace mantel, heavy curtains to tame the sun coming through tall windows, and a big, private front porch facing Prytania Street. The TV picture was a little fuzzy in this room, but who cares? The space was quiet, private and gorgeous.
You can walk to a bunch of bars and restaurants on St Charles (Irish House is a wonderful place to chill) or walk deeper into the neighborhood down Prytania and discover some charming old homes and a sweet little park on Terpsichord. This is a mostly working-​class community, not the Garden District of grand mansions, but we found that if you greet the people you meet on your local walks with «Good morning/​good evening,» you’ll be greeted cordially.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Me and my now husband came to New Orleans to get married and we stayed at several different hotels to get a taste of all different areas of New Orleans and out of the 4 we stayed this is definitely my favorite. We stayed in the Bordello and our room was beautifully decorated, painted in a deep red color, big beautiful windows that open up to our private balcony… just amazing! You really get a feel for the history and culture of the city here and that’s what we wanted. To see the older historical buildings.
The room was very clean and the breakfast was homemade and delicious! I cannot say enough great things! I wish I had booked my stay here for longer than 2 nights. I will definitely come back here for our anniversary! Thanks to everyone there, you are great people! If your looking to be uptight and picky then go elsewhere but you WILL miss out on this beautiful gem.

Came to the Creole Gardens for our honeymoon and it was a delight. The owner and everyone who works there is so helpful and sweet. We arrived before check-​in and they let us keep our bags behind the front desk while we went out and about until time to check-​in. The room was spotless, but if you’re looking for something more modern this wouldn’t be your style. I see someone said shabby chic and I completely agree. It had just about anything we needed though. They do not do a full cleaning every day, just really reload toliet paper and change out towels if you leave them on the ground. They also make up the bed.
The breakfast is very simple and good. The week we were there, there were pancakes, eggs and bacon that they make to order. There are some pastries, bagels, fruit and yogurt on a buffet. There’s also coffee but don’t wait until the end of breakfast because we ended up missing the coffee twice!
On the day we were leaving, they once again let us leave our bags behind the front desk while we adventured some more during the day. Then, when we were ready to leave (we were moving to a hotel in Gretna because they did up the rate for Halloween and we couldn’t afford it), they called us a cab and started telling us about some cool local places to try and talking to us about Atlanta (where we’re from). Super nice people. Would definitely stay here again.

We LOVED our stay here and I’m picky when it comes to where I’m staying.
Our room (bordello 7) was spotless and SO cute! The place was peaceful and had so
Much character.
The staff is incredibly welcoming.
Breakfast was awesome! (Bacon, eggs and shrimp and grits, plus bagels, toast, yogurt fruit and coffee and juice)
I won’t stay anywhere else in NOLA.

Creole Gardens had some really tasty breakfasts and was dog friendly, which was good. The staff was also really friendly. I think that this will be a nice place to stay someday when they finish renovating the rooms. As of right now, it’s not fit to stay in. There was daylight coming in all around the front door, the door didn’t shut properly, the tub was unbalanced (taking a shower was like trying to balance in a row-​boat), the paint was peeling off the walls, and the whole place just felt like a work in progress… slow progress.
Most unplesant, though, were the uninvited guests. We had two cockroaches join us during our stay… Not sure how many more would have shown up if we hadn’t had our dog with us. When I showed the staff a picture of one of the roaches in our room he offered a partial refund of one night.
So…stay here if you like roaches.
