    Fun

    Had a fantastic stay. Armani was super welcoming and made sure everything was organised. Great gym and facilities. Really fantastic hotel. When returning to New Orleans, sonesta will be top of the list. Great location and excellent energy.

    Great hotel

    The hotel is amazing and beautiful! Shout out to Armani at the front desk! He checked us in at the front desk and gave us a warm welcoming and gave us the run down of the restaurants and amenities they provide here. He was really cool and helpful, Great start to our trip!

    Very good stay in heart of French Quarter

    The room was comfortable and quiet--an interior facing room that didn't get any of the noise from loud party goers during a festival week. Location was great, right in the heart of the French quarter. The furnishings were a bit tired and dated though, and for the price we paid, I would have expected more upgraded furnishings.

    Great location and the Jazz playhouse is very special

    Fantastic location and staff, the Jazz Playhouse and pool area are fantastic. Bathroom was a little tired and water was $8 a bottle. But overall it was a true slice of New Orleans. Very much recommended and overall we are glad we chose this hotel.

    Fab few days with hubby!

    We stayed here before and after our cruise for a total of four nights. A fantastic location right in the heart of Bourbon Street, within walking distance to loads of attractions. Had a slight hic up with our first room as not cleaned but quickly allocated another. Great toiletries available with a fantastic bathroom. The coffee/tea machine also a great addition along with a fridge! A safe also available. The room as well as the hotel fantastically clean. Beautiful hotel. Unfortunately no time to use the pool but looked fantastic.
