Fairchild House

If you'd like to stay in an antique house that was built in the mid-1800s and be served breakfast every morning, then you might want to book a night or two here. I would suggest staying in the front room with the balcony overlooking Prytania Street. The fine folks who serve you breakfast are very nice. Just keep in mind that the water coming out of the shower head is either very cold or scalding hot; there was no in-between to be found. Also, I was hoping this house was haunted, but it really did not seem like there were any ghosts or spooks here at all. I suppose a lot of people will appreciate that, but for me, it was a bit of a disappointment. Would I stay here again upon a return to New Orleans? No. Not because of anything bad, it is just that there are too many other places to stay in NOLA that I would like to try out.

Fairchild House , my my. Daryl (Darrell) was super friendly. Walked in to office and we really couldn't see. It was dark and really really cold in there. Long drive from Texas. We checked in. Unfortunately we checked out 30 minutes later. Room 9 definitely needs a good cleaning. Smelled musty. Property needs a good upkeep. Has great potential. Felt bad for leaving but couldn't stay in a place where you are not comfortable. Got money back though!

This is a nice cozy getaway tucked in between two major tourist streets. The rooms are nice with a window air conditioning units built into the wall. The ceiling is about 18ft tall which lends itself to a very big room. The windows are floor to ceiling. If you are looking for top of the line BNB this isn't for you but if you like a simple no frills stay, I recommend this. The owner will make you breakfast every morning between 830-930 am. The menu is light but on our stay she added something extra as a treat.

Very pleasant experience. Great location. Lots of local restaurants and far enough/close enough to the tourist stuff. Super safe. The owner is very nice. The courtyard is tucked away and feels like a world away from French quarter

Wow! What a beautiful place to stay in the Gardens District, I would come back and stay here again. Me and my boyfriend only needed an extra night to stay in New Orleans after leaving from an Airbnb place within the area and decided to book this room through booking.com. Compared to other places around this one got a better deal plus breakfast included. It is only a block away from the tram and it is not far from Downtown, approximately 10 min. I was very happy with the service we received from the beginning, we came early around 12pm and was supposed to check in at 2pm. However, we wanted to leave our luggage there in the meantime before check in and for our surprise the room was ready. Jennifer was very kind allowing us to receive our keys before the time. You can see pictures of my room, we had a very comfortable King size bed, a kitchenette and a private bathroom. Everything decorated as years ago, in fact this house is from 1841 and very well maintain. We had breakfast the next morning which had a variety of options like eggs, sausages, bagels, oat meal, cereals, fruits, etc. Coffee and tea! Everything, honestly the most important thing was the feeling of being welcome and safe. We both loved it and would recommend the place to everyone who wants to enjoy the culture of New Orleans as we did.

Wow. Sweet, generous, hospitable. Those are the words that first come to mind when describing Beatriz, our hostess at The Fairchild House. She upgraded us to a king room simply because... she wanted to? (Thanks, Bea!)This place is on the funkier side of the Garden District, but that is reflected in the price. The house was built in the 1800's, so yes - the floors and stairs are creaky. The rooms have 12 foot ceilings, and every room has a window air conditioner. The bathroom in our room was recently redone, and it was splendid! (Translation: lots of hot water, ample water pressure, and room enough for two of us to move around.) There is a patio out back along an enormous hedge - I can only imagine it can help you keep cool during the NO summers. The breakfast room has a wonderful old bar as a counter - Beatriz keeps the hutch that used to sit behind it in the reception area. I can only imagine the effort it took to move those in there! Breakfast includes breads, cereals and fresh fruit - along with juices, tea and coffee.The neighborhood, as stated, is toward the funkier end of the Garden District (on the downtown side). This proved to be no problem, however. We came strolling back fairly late many of the nights we were there, and never felt unsafe. Also, its location puts it a block or two away from lots of eateries... and just a block from the St. Charles streetcar line... primo! I am certain that we'll stay here again, the next time we get to New Orleans.

Hidden Gem in the Garden DistrictWhile we did not have high expectations, we were pleasantly surprised with this stay! Staff was amazingly friendly!!! The customer service was top notch! And we loved the authenticity of the place!Pros:-Customer Service!!! A++-Plenty of parking. Gated lot that will fit several cars and tons of free street parking-Breakfast!!! Loved the small, quaint breakfast area and variety of food options-Security. Felt safe with all the locks and gates. Surrounding area was nice. People were friendly-Location. Plenty of food and bar options in the area... and only about a mile walk to the main scene. We walked it during the day, night, and early AM hours... never felt unsafe-Clean. All linens were clean and fresh. Bathroom was very clean-Bed. Was very comfortable-Price.Cons:-Room. They're very basic! I think our room had a 9 inch (?) tube tv that had to be manually turned on/off. This was held up by a piece of unpainted plywood. The baseboards needed replacing. And a fresh coat of paint would be great. They could definitely use a little upgrading and . -A little hard to find... sign was tiny, so we ended up driving around the block a few times before finding it.We would definitely return! If you don't need luxury items to appreciate a place, try this B&B out. It won't disappoint!

Everything about the house and the owners is lovely. The house was established around 1841 and consists of three houses. So, as you can imagine they are in continuous need of repairs, but this adds to the charm and ambiance.We stayed in a king room, fireplace, wood floors, cold air, beautiful patio. Breakfast was simple European, no proteins.The most special part was Jennifer, who treated us while professionally, like family. Then the owners coming home from vacation and hearing about their adventures, and meeting their dog Audrey.The the middle of the historic Garden District, oak trees, beads hanging everywhere, you are walking in the middle of History. Within walking distance to Minnie fabulous restaurants, historic sites, and antique shopping.Lovely experience, and would venture to stay again when visiting New Orleans down the road as we continue our adventures.

I was not able to complete my reservation after I had been through a north Texas blizzard and NOLA was out of electricity due to a hurricane, but the employees were so sweet and communicated with me every step of the way. I just had to say they made a stressful situation a lot better with their positive dispositions. I hope to stay there one day soon!

I really enjoyed my stay at Fairchilds, Darrell is amazing to all of the guest and it is convenient to get around the city. If you get room 9, expect to have to cell or wifi service.They would've received five stars, however, I am unpacking my Urban South Brewery bag now that I am home (8hrs away) and realize that two of my IPA beers have been removed from my bag. While I have made several attempts to contact the property and receive no answer to discuss the situation, I am beyond disgusted that the housekeeping staff would think it is remotely okay to steal from the guest and think we would not notice. I guess I should be thankful that it was beers and not my electronics that were stolen. I really wish I could make this up, I am beyond disgusted and disappointed!
