Hotel Villa Convento

"Free parking is about a ten minute walk and the courtyard is cute but that’s about it. There were patches on the walls that had been patched and not painted, holes in the chairs, the toilet sits on a pretty severe angle and my knees touched the tub when I used it. The stairs are shaky and the elevator makes you feel like it’s going to plummet to the floor when it’s used. Our room key quit working twice. The first time was after the office was closed and there’s no way to contact anyone unless you have a specific number which was locked in my hotel room. We got a second room key which I checked before leaving and when we went back to get our belongings, the new room key didn’t work again. They blamed us for what has to be an issue with their system or the door lock itself."

"My best friend and I stayed last weekend. The location was great, the hotel is unique and interesting and the guy who checked us in at the front desk was adorable and friendly. We got the Jimmy Buffet loft room and while the room itself was interesting and unique, the king sized bed was pretty awful. I’m pretty sure it’s the actual mattress Jimmy slept on when he lived here. It sunk in, all the way down to the frame and my back was really sore the rest of the trip. We ended up sleeping in the twin beds in the loft the last two nights which were better, so I’m grateful we had other options and weren’t stuck with the king mattress. The bathroom was pretty off putting too, as the tile floor and tub would sink when stepped on. The sub floor is in need of repair. Other than that, we loved our stay and had a great time."

"Lovely place, great location near the historic convent of the Ursuline Nuns. The staff was friendly and happy to chat, and the courtyard was a great place to relax. The beds were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here if you have the opportunity."

"We had a small hiccup with the first room we went into, but the situation was quickly taken care of and we were given a different room. The gentleman at the front desk helped us quickly and made sure we were well taken care of. The hotel is very charming and really added the the experience of staying in the French Quarter. We originally booked through a second party site and be aware that if you do this, it states that they have parking, while there is parking, it is limited and not right by the hotel. We got lucky enough to get a spot to park and had zero issues with the garage being a short walk away. The hotel does state this on their actual website, but the second party sites do not. The courtyard was beautiful, especially at night. Overall, it was a good experience and honestly if I ever make my way back to NOLA, I'd stay here again :)"

"I loved staying here. We stayed for 4 nights. Couldn’t ask for a better location. The guy at the front desk was awesome and check in was easy. The elevator made us chuckle every time. The room was clean and was thankful to have a refrigerator. As for haunted, I would say yes. We had some unexplainable and strange incidents. We do some amateur ghost hunting and have a few gadgets. We got some EVP’s, lots of orbs and strange noises IN THE room that actually woke me several times. We got lucky with parking. Had parking right on Chartres St. Loved having the little breakfast spot across the street from the hotel. We come to New Orleans often and so far this is my favorite place to stay. Not fancy. Very home feeling. Will definitely stay here again."
