Great Stay!

The hotel was very nice and we loved the balcony as it gave a little more space. Even though the rooms and bathroom are a little small, the hotel is very nice and in a great location. It was surprisingly quiet and restful for being right in the French Quarter. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We loved the rooftop pool. This is the second Omni hotel we have stayed at and both hotels were really nice. We were right down the street from Nolas, which is a wonderful restaurant. We walked everywhere, so there was no need to take a cab. It was a fun trip!

Omni Royal Hotel Review

Loved the hotel and it's location. Room was comfortable and clean but small. Pool was adequate but fitness center could have been larger with more equipment. I would book this hotel again in a heartbeat.

Perfect vacation spot

This was our third visit to the Omni Royal Hotel. We've travelled to New Orleans many times to attend Jazzfest or the French Quarter Festival and this is our favorite hotel. The location is great, the staff friendly and the pool area with an obervation deck overlooking the Missippi is beautiful. The rooms are smallish but clean and nicely furnished. We cannot wait to return.

Excellent Location

This was a perfect location for our visit to all the French Quarter sites. We could walk to everything and it was quiet even being only one block off Bourbon St. Excellent, friendly staff. Enjoyed the Rib Room & bar in the Hotel. So many Great places to eat that we'll have to go back to enjoy some more. Court of Two Sisters had the best Bloody Marys.

Great Hotel!

This hotel was in the best location to enjoy Mardi Gras. Close enough to walk to all activities, yet far enough away to enjoy a bit of quiet.

Good french quarter location

It's an old hotel, so the rooms are small. We upgraded this last visit and the room was still small, I could not really see any difference. The hotel is kept perfectly clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. It's pet friendly and we have taken our dog(s) several times.

Very Helpful

The Omni Royal Orleans staff kept us notified on the latest hurricane Gustav updates. Updates would be placed under our door so we knew that the airport was closing and we needed change our flights, when the hotel would be closing, and where we needed to go to be evacuated to the airport. Having this information alleviated a lot of pressure during a stressful time.
