Charming older hotel that's been refurbished. Wonderful staff. Great location. There were two downsides: the heating in our room wasn't adequate to keep our room warm. And, although the hotel has elevators, you will have to haul your luggage up a few stairs to get into the hotel and to your room.

Most important to me is cleanliness and comfortable beds - great on both counts. Large rooms, closets, bathrooms. We had a king room and king suite. Plenty of room for everything! Location is great for restaurants and shopping- all within walking distance. Would stay here again

Spacious room with a comfortable bed. It's a little off the tourist path and a bit of a walk to restaurants. It had a small fridge but no microwave. A bar but no dining area. Still, it's a part of New Orleans history and we enjoyed our stay there.

the air conditioning was set at such a cold temperature that it was difficult to sleep. the thermostat did not work to raise the temperature and no extra blankets were available. the desk clerk said she could not do anything except call the maintenance number and they could reset the temp from a central location...didn't happen!!

Convenient location to both Bourbon St and Frenchman St (especially Frenchman St), without being loud at night. Very comfortable mattresses. Great place to stay in the French district. The phone-based lock system didn’t work in our room but they gave us a fob that worked fine, so no big deal. Good price for what you get.

We had a great experience at this hotel. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Its location was a good walking distance from just about anywhere in the Quarter. I was so impressed with housekeeping, they kept our towels stocked and fresh and our room cleaned daily. The AC worked well, a little too well at times lol! But not a complaint :) My only gripes would be that our neighbors were very loud (not the hotels fault, some people just can’t talk below a mild roar or realize yelling down the hallway isn’t appropriate at midnight). The rooms are a little plainly decorated and the bed was not awful, but not the most comfortable thing ever either. I also wish the bar would’ve been open during our stay. A bathtub would have been a nice addition as well. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Le Richelieu and I would definitely return to this hotel!
