Hotel Villa Convento

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.

This is a very moderately priced hotel within walking distance of the entire Quarter, both the French and Frenchman sides. Tons of bars and great food options, as well as proximity to the many historic museums. The accommodations are not great, but hold historic value. I did have a number of weird ghostly experiences in my room. Something would hide an item of mine at night after I'm in, then reappear in the morning before anyone entering my room, can't explain it, but it did happen and I was by myself. The one downside is the AC units can be quite loud.

Here's the deal, this place needs some help. It needs to be cleaned better in the hallways and it needs some major updates. However, the staff was great. The location is phenomneal. Also, the room was bigger than we thought. the views and patio are nice. the price was even better. also, we always felt safe.we got the room on the 4th floor that was 1 bedroom with a queen and a full bed. for 3 people and a 3 night stay, this was great. the patio is not connected to our room, but you walk into the hallway and head outside. the downstairs patio area is nice also, plenty of seats, greenery and plants to admire. the eleveator works, but is super sketchy.where the place sucked was the water pressure and the water temp. it was weak and not super hot. we also were greeted in our bathroom by a gift. someone had left a douche in a box here for us. it was on the top shelf behind the toilet. pretty nasty that the staff left it there. our room was clean, we had a fridge that worked fine. also we had a fan and an AC - both worked very well.would i stay here again? yes. our room was clean, had space, comfy bed, good staff, and great location.

On my third visit to New Orleans, I knew I wanted to stay in a place that had history. Hotel Villa Convento met my expectations. It may be be too simple for people that like extra provisions and find the rooms too old. I would recommend getting a room with a balcony.It's situated close to many of the favorite places in the French Quarter and also close to New Orleans transportation. If you want to "live" like a local, I would definitely recommend it.

We have been coming to this hotel probably 1997. It is our happy place. The room is beautiful with antique furniture, and beautiful bedding. The bed was so comfortable in fact that I felt like I was at home sleeping on my sleep number bed. The only thing missing was my big dog. The employees here are all so accommodating and helpful. Being in a wheelchair I really appreciate the fact that there is a handicapped accessible room. This hotel was built in the 1800s and you have done good job making the room as accessible as possible. If the door had opened outwards would be the only thing that would improve the situation. So many people helped us. I wish I could remember all their names from the time I made the reservation six months ago up until the minute we left. Everything was perfect. Thank you for once again making our honeymoon get away. Perfect in every way.

I had the opportunity to spend 5 days at this hotel while visiting New Orleans. This is an incredible place to stay. It is a boutique hotel that had opportunity for friends/family to be in a relaxed atmosphere. The courtyard was a perfect place for visiting. We had a number of the rooms booked. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating at the front desk. The house keeping staff were efficient and very hospitable. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back to New Orleans and to this hotel. Although this was first time staying here, some of my friends stay here on a frequent basis.

Wonderful gem in the French Quarter!! This is not "luxury" per se, just a comfortable, safe, affordable place to enjoy in New Orleans. The location could not be better--- just 3-5 minutes away from dozens of enjoyable bars and restaurants on Bourbon and Royal streets. Far away enough from the center of action so you don't have to hear everything in your room all night. I stayed in Room 205 and had absolutely no problems with water pressure, temperature, nor wifi, they were all perfect. The fridge/ freezer were wonderful assets and kept my goodies well chilled. Sadly, unlike other reviewers, I had no apparitions. Oh well. I would recommend bringing ear plugs if you're there for a festival or special occasion. It's an older building, and noise carries. It wasn't a problem this week, but could imagine how drunk people laughing and fighting could be annoying if it was a busy weekend. Extra credit and acknowledgement must be given where it is due -- the staff is exceptional. They are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, kind. Dewayne especially is a WEALTH of information and can tell you almost anything about anything in New Orleans (and probably nearly any other subject if you ask). [Pro Tip: The breakfast cafe right across the street -- Croissant D'Or is amazing!] I would stay here again. As a matter of fact, I've already made my reservation for next year. I rarely ever do that, but don't want to lose out once everyone figures out how great this place is. 4.5 stars!

We just spent four nights at the Hotel Villa Convento and had a wonderful experience! The hotel is charming, clean and very well located. The best part of our stay was Warren. He was consistently friendly, upbeat and incredibly helpful - such a pleasure to interact with. Parking can be a challenge, in the area, and Warren went above and beyond to ensure we a safe parking spot for our stay. Thank you, Warren! Will definitely stay there again and are already looking forward to our next visit.

First time in New Orleans and we're so happy we chose this hotel! It's beautiful, historic, clean, comfortable, and central to the French Quarter...but far enough that you can sleep at night! Staff was always available and helpful, we especially enjoyed our chat with Dwayne while waiting for our taxi. Do yourself a favor and book your next stay here!

The only reason to stay here is due to the location. For over $200 a night, the dirt and condition of this hotel was not worth it. Only amenities are coffee, ice and vending machines. The place looks charming at first glance, but once you spend some time and look around that quickly changes. We only slept here, so it worked out great for us, but be aware that you can pay the same thing for a chain hotel just on canal street. There was dirt, dust, signs of mold and the cracked tile in the courtyard is a tripping/safety hazard. The only thing that would bring us back here is the location and Darren who was a super great guy and gave us some great suggestions.
