1896 O'Malley House

Love this bed and breakfast! Larry and Brent welcome you and make you feel like family. The house is beautiful and very clean. The location is far enough away from downtown New Orleans so that it is quiet and so relaxing. The street car stop is a block away so getting everywhere is a breeze. And when you get back after a day of exploring, Jasper & Porter are there to greet you with a smile and a tail wag. We will definitely be back!!

This place was AMAZING!! We met the owner a few times and he was very friendly. We interacted mostly with Brent and he was WONDERFUL. It really wasn't expensive, especially considering how long we stayed. Very reasonably priced if you factor everything in!! I mentioned a dairy and tomato allergy and they were accommodating (even though I was clear they were mild), any questions were answered, we were directed towards more towels when we needed them, Brent gave us directions when we needed them, told us the best places to eat, grab a drink, site see, etc. When we visit again, we intend to stay here if Brent is still there by that time. The B&B was kind of the best part of our honeymoon! I know some reviews said it's overpriced, but look at it this way: Someone is cleaning your room every day, taking down your dishes, cleaning up after you, taking care of you, cooking you a homemade breakfast every morning (juice, fresh fruit, coffee, etc.). You seriously don't have to lift a finger the whole time you're there. I'm pretty sure we chose the smallest room they had available and it was still very spacious, clean, and nice! We spent just under 1400 and were there from the 10th to the 17th!

Great, great stay. Larry and the innkeeper were wonderful and very accommodating. I had a late check in due to flight problems and they still met me at 10pm to show me around. The breakfasts were delicious (seriously - bourbon bread pudding?! Yum!), coffee was strong and good, and the room was adequate. As a single traveler, I got the most budget-conscious room (McNair), which perfectly met my needs. One comfy bed, couch/daybed, desk, closet, bathroom. There were also a high-end brand shampoos/body gels to use. My one complaint was that there was not a tub drain stopper. However I'm sure they would have given me one had I asked. Regarding the location, yeah it's not in the French quarter, or downtown NOLA. However, the streetcar stops literally 1/2 a block from the B&B and costs only $1.25 to ride. Very easy and cheap, and comes every 15 minutes or so. To get from O'Malley to Bourbon St took about 20 minutes on the streetcar. Honestly, I appreciated staying a bit away from the bustle of an urban center. It felt very safe! Definitely a B&B - the owners sit and chat while you eat your breakfast. They were pleasant and conversational, and informative to a first time NOLA traveler. Overall, would stay again!!!

This is the second time we've stayed here and LOVE IT! I can't imagine coming to New Orleans and not staying here. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful, including the ambassadogs Jackson and Porter. The owner, Larry, and the manager, Brent, are both very informative and great with suggestions for places to visit while in town. The breakfasts are just the right size to start out your day. The rooms are well tended and comfortable. We usually stay on the third floor which has the most modest guest rooms, both have their own private bath. The baths are nice, plenty of hot water and they provide the Esa brand toiletries. And the location can't be beat, if you don't want all the chaos of French Quarter. It is a half block from the street car stop on Canal and a bus stop on Carrollton. Adjacent are a day spa and restaurants in case you don't feel like traveling one of your days. And the Walgreens in case you forgot something or need your "Jazzy Pass" for RTA transit (great deal!) is right there on the corner of Canal and Carrollton.This is the kind of place that really makes me not want to go home at the end of our vacation...

I recently stayed here for a week with a few coworkers while working at a conference in town, and so glad we did. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Each suite is tastefully decorated with big comfortable beds, ceiling fans, desks, power strips and all the amenities you need. (If you run low or forgot some person items, a large drugstore is within walking distance.) There's complimentary wifi for guests throughout the house (may be weaker in some rooms). The shower pressure is good. The entire house is kept at a good temperature (i.e., cooler than outdoors but not icy like the convention center).The owner and innkeeper were very friendly, caring and attentive without being intrusive. The daily coffee, fresh fruit and hot breakfast gave our team a great start to each busy workday. In the evenings, there were beers, wine and a lovely porch where we could unwind. Just a note: There are two dogs in the house. They're very well behaved, but the owners/innkeeper will keep them out of the common area if you're not a dog person.The location of the house is very convenient for getting to the convention center, parks, shopping, dining and other popular tourist destinations, but just far enough from the party scene, which is perfect IMO. I would stay here again when I return for business or pleasure.

This is my favorite place in New Orleans - comfortable, quaint and affordable. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. If you stay here, book the room with the haunted bed in advance (I forget the name of the suite). They dont make a big deal about it, but every night about 3AM the larger bed will violently shake. The location is close enough to hop on a trolley to the FQ.

This is my second visit to the 1896 O'Malley House and I can not recommend it enough. Larry and Brent have been more than gracious. The food is delicious and their location is perfect. Just steps away from MANY wonderful restaurants and the trolley system to take you into the other wonderful parts of the city. I stayed the first time for 4 nights and this time for 6 and was never more relaxed. Thank you Larry for your hospitality and to both Larry and Brent for their many suggestions for food and entertainment. I will definitely be back and am looking forward to more R&R.

Went there for my fiance's 41st birthday with 2 friends. They stayed at the O' Malley Suite and we stayed at the Colonel Parker Suite. We were greeted by Brent who walked us through the house and the rules as well as all the accommodations we were welcome to enjoy. Also gave us a brief background on the house and introduced us to the cutest residents of the house Parker and Jackson, the friendly furry friends. We loved staying there and using the street car to get to the French Quarter. I loved walking around the old house and enjoying the art, architecture and impeccable decor. We felt so at home as if we were guests at a friend's beautiful home. We got along wonderfully with the other guests and both Larry and Brent had alll the recommendations we needed to have a great time our first time in New Orleans. The breakfast was divine as well, and it was the only place I found that included a full breakfast. Everything was clean and comfortable. I have absolutely no complaints. Thank you guys giving us a memorable first bed and breakfast experience and New Orleans experience. And to end the trip on such an amazing note, Brent made my fiancé BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES on our final morning! You can't get that kind of awesomeness everywhere. We cannot wait to go back!

Do not stay here in the colder months unless you really really really like being cold. No space heaters available. Paying way to much to be so uncomfortable. Super disappointed.Service was terrible. Owner was rude and unaccommodating, his parter is a bit more friendly but just expected more for the price. The building is pretty, but you can't open the windows or come and go without being jumped on by large dogs.

If you want to stay IN New Orleans and are NOT in a hurry to be anywhere and you're accustomed to having the property owner completely ignore you as a guest- this is for you! On the Canal Streetcar line, it's about a 30 min ride into the Quarter or to the Museums, but the property manager is the saving grace as he can suggest tours to pick you up at the house ($100 for 2). Also, don't think about venturing out after dark by yourself on foot to get dinner. Not the safest neighborhood. Uber eats.
