great hotel, great location
we were in New Orleans for Halloween. This is something you should not miss. The hotel was great and the food and street intertainment was unbelivable.

Excellent Choice in N'awlins!
First trip to NO. Would stay at Royal Sonesta again. The staff was warm and friendly and helpful. All touring and dining suggestions were top-notch and on the mark. Especially enjoyed half-day city tour with Oswald of Celebration tours. He was so knowledgeable and informative and justifiably proud of his city! Look forward to returning to NO....so much to do, so little time!

Great location, wonderful ambiente
Booked online through [...]; everything went smoothly at check-in; hotel lobby is very grand, appealing, clean, and has a friendly atmosphere; room was large enough for two people, very well taken care of (no rips in wallpaper, cracks in ceiling, smudges on carpet, etc.), extremely clean with rather comfortable beds; room was always ready when we came back in the afternoon to rest; staff was quite courteous and helpful and gave informed answers to our questions. Two things, however, we did not like as much: the toilet flushed very noisily and the computer use in the business office is clearly overpriced (we believe that a hotel of this class ought to offer free internet use to its guests). We will certainly recommend the Royal Sonesta to our friends and acquaintances warmly.

Fantastic location on Bourbon Street
We got an excellent deal on Orbit for a New Year's weekend getaway. We opted to pay the extra $45 to upgrade to a suite. When we checked in, we weren't expecting much-just happy to be in New Orleans in a great location on Bourbon street. When we opened the door to our room, we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. HUGE room, complete with a whirlpool and small living room. The beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable, the hotel was clean and inviting, and the staff were warm and friendly. And you couldn't beat the location right on Bourbon. Overall, a very nice experience.

For a break from the drinking and debauchery of Bourbon Street, head over to Royal Street and cruise the art galleries and shops.

Reasonably priced, great location
Great staff, great location. Hotel is family friendly, but the area is not. Leave the kids at home.

Great location for price
Hotel was in a great location... Our room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was very busy that week, because the Sugar Bowl was on Friday and quite a few fans stayed their. The concierge was very helpful, giving us advice on things to see and do in New Orleans. The only thing that we did not like was paying the extremely high parking fee... Excellent hotel and good service.
