I stayed in the Desiree room which was very lovely. The room was beautiful, very clean, and the tub was large enough for two people. It was quiet and we weren't bothered by anyone working there or any tours. There were some miscommunications at check-in. This is obviously a small bed and breakfast in a historical building, so there isn't full time staff that check you in. I received an Expedia message about an envelope in the lock box that had our keys and welcome materials that wasn't there and had to wait for the owner to bring us the keys. He did text us letting us know the wifi password which was supposed to be in the envelope and we didn't really need anything else. They advertised breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, but we checked in on Saturday and there wasn't breakfast on Sunday, but that was ok with us since we wanted to look at some local restaurants.

No heating available and no new towels were provided. Had a small 3 year old child with me and this was deeply concerning. Tried to ask for help but requests went unfulfilled such as the request for an extension cord since most wall sockets were not working. Parking was good but owner made me feel unwanted and not valued as much as other guests.

History and comfort - close to NOLA nightlife

The staff here was wonderful!!! A great breakfast was served daily and it was very comfortable. This is a historically registered property and the formal tour of the property was WAY BETTER than we had hoped for. It gave great background to the area, the history people of this house and of the times.

The Degas House hotel is not a serious business. It is shabby, outdated and run-down to the point that normal cleaning is not possible. Even with the Super Bowl approaching, the hotel appeared empty. The "office" looked like a looted demolition project. Was the hotel even officially empty this week? Hotels.com disgraces itself by allowing such a property to be listed.

Loved the charm of this historic property! We were the only guests at the time and no breakfast available. Lousy shower pressure. The room was hot, although not unbearable with window AC. I liked the experience, but my wife didn’t. If comfort a priority, stay elsewhere.

Loved it!

Very elegant. Historic. Not modern and up to date but I enjoyed that about it. The hot tub was amazing. The staff were very friendly. Parking available around the hotel so we didn’t have to pay for parking unless we went out. Within walking distance from the French Quarter. Gas station/ convenience store within walking distance. Very peaceful. They offer a tour and history of the property. They offer breakfast. Only issue I encountered was since the furniture is antique, it’s starting to break (knob missing off the wardrobe and hinges need to be oiled) and the tv would only play audio, video would not load. Overall great place to stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Over promised and under delivered, but I'd stay there again. It is an older property so things are not perfect. It is a beautiful building and very historic. I lived in the historic French Quarter before, so I was prepared for a historic property. The night we arrived there was a wedding going on so it took a bit to get to the lock box. The keys were in an envelope with the name of the room. After 8 hours of driving and walking through a wedding party, it would have been nice to have my name on the envelope. So I grab the wrong set of keys and eventually found someone to tell us where the room is. We drag all of our stuff from one building to another set up in the room, leave for dinner and get a phone call that we are in the wrong room. I mentioned to the lady who showed us the room that we did not book a double. It was a mess, but the housekeeper and some staff helped us move rooms and gave us drinks and a bottle of Champagne. She was wonderful. Breakfast was not as pictured. It was lovely sitting at the table with the other guests and chatting, but the menu was limited. The owner was very nice a breakfast but not so much the night before when the mix up happened. The upstairs room on the 3rd floor had no windows so I felt a bit claustrophobic. I worked for us, but a single person it is perfect. All in all, I'd stay there again. Bus stop right across the street. Off street parking was advertised, but not a reality, but there is plenty of space within a couple of blocks.

My stay a Degas included mouse droppings with my coffee and tea. That was the entire stay. The breakfast area had mouse poo. The kitchen sink filled with the same dishes from when I checked in, checked out still there. There was no access to trash inside the house. The room I stayed in had mouse poo in the tub and on the bathroom floor rugs. The jetted tub was also dirty upon arrival. Amenities, absolutely nothing that was described was offered besides the room, the bed, the AC. No one was attentive. No housekeeping. No, BREAKFAST!!!! Being a Bed& Breakfast is why I had chosen the place. And I did not get breakfast at all, not even the least bit. No access to Wi-Fi. Cable was disconnected or, so. No iron. No ironing board.

Cool house, no custom service.

The house it's self is absolutely beautiful and everything you want in a historic (possibly haunted) house. The outside neighborhood cat (grey tabby). Was also an enjoyable temporarily companion. I would like to nominate the cat for employee of the month. She was available 24/7 and it only cost us a small bag of dry food in tips. My issue is with the outdated listing. Breakfast is only served on weekends. Not specified in the listing There isn't check in available after 5pm. I didn't see this in the listing. There was no staff available at all during our 4 day stay. Things were noticable dusty throughout the house. Full trash cans in the dining room. The listing photos aren't clear. From the photos I thought there was a pool. But there isn't a pool. The house is conveniently located along the bus route which was super easy to utilize. Definitely a mixed review. Had I been better informed prior to booking I would have understood. It's just a little disappointing.

Do not stay there!

My wife and I had an awful time- so bad that we left after the first night even though we had a reservation for 4 nights. The owner was overwhelmed when we got there and it took some time for us to get settled in our 3rd floor room. He said he would retake care of a burned out bulb on the night table lamp but never did. The sink in the bathroom had no hot water unless you turned the valve underneath. The towels were not clean. The bed was terrible- it made noise every time you moved and the mattress was awful. The breakfast was mediocre at best. When we called to let them know about the problems in the room we did not get any response until 11am the next day by which time we diecided to move to a decent hotel. While the history of the place and the art was interesting, I would never stay there again because of the condition of the place and the lack of concern from the owner/operator. I have never written a bad review of anywhere else (I travel a lot all over the world) but in this case I really felt compelled to do so.
