There's an actual gallery in the lobby of the hotel, but it's appointment only.
The lobby always has pineapple water, coffee and tea.
A hidden gem in New Orleans - such a beautiful boutique hotel.
Hallway looking at the door. The walls were an actual brick.
Back of bathroom door - dust, dirt and grime not cleaned off, someone else's hair stuck to the door
the filth under the bed. this is just the tip of the iceberg.
View from room 215
Back of bathroom door - dust, dirt and grime not cleaned off, someone else's hair stuck to the door
Shower-low pressure water the entire time.
Such a comfy bed! Our room overlooked Decatur street. High ceilings made the room feel like a bedroom rather than a hotel.
Another angle of the room
Fairly spacious showers
Edging where the wall and marble meet next to door - dust, dirt and grime not cleaned off
Bathroom-toilet paper holder was rusty
This was yesterday on 1/28/23- was fun marching parade with no major floats

Booked 4 nights, and overall had a pleasant experience with La Galerie, with some minor issues. First off, the location is perfect within the French Quarter, nestled outside of bustling Bourbon Street. Most things were within walking distance and a car isn't needed unless you're venturing outside the French Quarter. The room had a modern & clean feel, and it also contained a fridge and microwave. Beds were plump enough, with plenty of pillows, and didn't hurt my back. They also provide additional pillows and blankets stored in the closet.Only thing was that it could get noisy from the street, which can't be helped. Rowdy tourists, garbage trucks, or construction can get loud. However, this location would probably still serve better than most as it is still far away enough from Bourbon.For those easily spooked, there were also some odd noises, such as continuous footsteps at late hours and what sounds like furniture moving around and hitting the walls, and I couldn't decipher if it was noisy hotel guests or potential restless spirits, as all old buildings could have in the French Quarter. We also had some trouble opening the door a few times, and the refrigerator noise randomly turned on at various volumes.Overall, I would recommend this hotel for prime location, affordable rates, and cleanliness/modernity of the rooms. I would just keep in mind the occasional street noise, and also random indoor noises if one is jumpy about those things.

Not my favorite stayIf I had to do it over again, I would not choose this hotel and I would not choose this location. The positives: This hotel was clean and its staff friendly. It was also a quiet stay as far as guests go. I never heard noise from a single surrounding room. The rooms were also decorated nicely. Loved the wood floors and all of the decorative trim. It has a lot of charm. The negatives: The beds were so uncomfortable. The mattresses too firm and the pillows overstuffed. Every morning, my ribs hurt from the bed and my neck hurt from the pillows. I was ready to go find a store that sold pillows and buy one even if I had to leave it behind. I should have. Maybe I'd have slept better. It's also surrounded by douche bar after douche bar. No way would I ever stay so close to the French Quarter again. If I were younger or into that scene, I might have liked it. But I've graduated from that. It didn't feel all that safe walking around the hotel at night and I don't scare easily. Everybody was drunk or high. Or both. I'm sure I was on high alert because in two days' time, someone offered my underage daughter pot and then a grown ass man followed her, telling her she was "fine" when she's very obviously a kid. No bueno. My 3-star review is really about the beds more than anything. I wouldn't rate it low because I didn't love the French Quarter at night. But that said, if you have kids, this might not be the best area to stay.

Going WAY Back to literally my first Few Days in New Orleans... (Review of my stay between 5/3/23 and 5/7/23) I booked my trip by beginning with a Hotel in the Quarter... Ended up going with La Galerie Hotel. It looked nice online. Room had high ceilings(I know a lot do in New Orleans), nice amenities, and a bed that was Dreamy(literally) I slept great, and was comfy in my room. Few rooms in the Quarter are Roomy, but the room was big enough to house a Big Queen Bed, and when I was in the room, I was as comfy as could be. I was even able to hook up my ROKU streaming device, as La Galerie has great WIFI... About $150 a night all in, and for it's location, it seemed affordable. The Check in, and Check Out interactions were really great. Smooth, and seamless with great info sprinkled throughout.The staff answered a few questions I had about where a few things were in the Quarter, and specifically.. "Delicious" was a very helpful, and charming front desk/concierge. Ty Delicious!! The front desk staff will point you in the right direction for sure.I arrived the last Weekend or so of Jazz Fest, so the Town was a Buzz to some extents, and my HOTEL seemed like a bunch of old friends all now back together to see their Fave Friends play their Music again... Great Vibes, and people just drinking it up, the alcohol, the fun, AND the Jazz!!I met Mr Eds Oyster House(see my Review) because I stayed at La Galerie, since it's so close, so that was a real blessing. You should Definitely stop into Mr Eds Oyster House, and say Hi to Jimmy, and Jon at the Bar... and remember, "Order Extra Garlic Bread So I can say "YOU'RE WELCOME" in a Fun, but Know it All Tone....Back to La Galerie.. It's a beautiful, but small Lobby, but that might be what I like about it the most. There are a few places to sit and read a periodical, or a map of New Orleans, but mostly it's designed to quickly receive Guests, and get them on their way upstairs to their rooms.An Art Gallery is attached to the East Side of the Lobby, but wasn't open when I stayed, or not open when I passed by...It's a great place to stay, and just not designed to have a big Lobby set up.. La Galerie does house COTERIE, a fine restaurant and Oyster Bar, and it seats between 50 and 100 I would say.I didn't grab anything from COTERIE yet, but plan to revisit La Galarie to say Hi to the staff soon, and will review COTERIE then..If you see La Galerie on Priceline, or Booking.com between $100 and $150 a night(Maybe a bit more on a HOT Weekend where demand meets supply a bit more), suffice it to say, that it's a great value, and a Great Location to leap onto your Big Easy Dreams!!Right now it looks like they are on Priceline between $110 and about $130 for some dates in Sept and Oct 2023.I have a few more Reviews to drop in next few days...Cheers, and Meow MEOWWWW!!!

I'm saying "good" I gave this hotel an 8 of 10 on Booking.com. I booked a Jr suite and it was plenty spacious, day bed, desk, double bed....it was a bit dark because the only windows were in the bedroom.The staff was fairly uninterested - didn't seem to really want to be there - not unfriendly just not the hospitality you might expect from a 4 star hotel in NOLA. As an example- I requested late checkout....they gave me noon (instead of 11) and at 11:15 my key cards were already turned off???My room was by the elevator and the elevator had an annoying chime that sounded constantly and I could hear it in my room at all hours. The chime is not needed but I'd request a room away from it if possible.But, the location was great, the bed was fairly comfortable, and the rate was fair. I'm not sure if I would stay there again as there are many choices, but I was happy to stay at a local place.

This boutique hotel is a gem! I had such a GREAT experience with the staff and accommodations. Here's why:1. Inviting, well-lit lobby and a welcoming front-desk attendant that made a list of places to eat and visit to try.2. Clean, modern and comfortable room.3. Perfect location that is close enough to all the highlights of New Orleans, and yet far enough to get a quite nights sleep.4. Did I mention really friendly front-desk people? They truly provide a concierge feel. I mean, what hotel text you to ask how I am doing, if you're not VIP?5. 24/7 beverage bar of water, tea and coffee. Didn't realize how something as simple as this is appreciated after walking for miles or late night drinking.6. Extremely affordable. They should charge more. I loved this place!

Came here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.It's in the French Quarters and near everything.Canal Street , Bourbon St, and Cafe Du Monde are just a short walk.They have an art galleria next door with some cool pieces for the art lover. Also there's two restaurant that are nearby that serves delicious food.Coterie Restaurant & Oyster Bar (next door)and the Creole House Restaurant & Oyster Bar on Canal. Our room was the Jr king suite and it was spacy. Bed was comfortable and there was also another small room with a day bead with a trundle. Also, we had microwave and refrigerator. Everything was amazing and a special thank you to Jose Galindo for making it extra nice for our 25th anniversary.Thanks Jose Galindo and staff

We stayed here in 2021 during the summer. We were traveling cross country and rented two rooms. We absolutely loved it. It was so cute and quaint with nice touches like the brick walls and wood flooring. It was clean as well and the bathrooms were great! It was also dog friendly, which we required. Everything was walking distance. Parking was a bit annoying but understandable considering the area. I would definitely recommend and stay again. It was also more than affordable considering the prices is in the area.

Amazing. Some people complain about anything. Beautiful rooms, hotel and people. Art gallery on one side. Restaurant on the other. Walking distance to street car and Canal Street. No need to drive. Very comfortable and romantic rooms.

John took care of every request we had, and his very likable staff all treated us just as well throughout our stay. I don't remember any of their names, but no matter who I was dealing with, I was in good hands. When my car and phone got stolen separately on Halloween night, he helped as much as a hotel manager possibly could, taking followup information from the police while I was out trying to get my stuff back, giving me late checkout as I wallowed in stress at the Apple Store wishing I'd just checked out before driving to Metairie, and just generally being really supportive--guest service is obviously job one for him. $26 a day for parking in New Orleans around Halloween is a total steal, by the way. La Galerie was just the cheapest special on Hotel Tonight when it turned out my friends hadn't booked our Airbnb for long enough, and the customer service came out of nowhere to make it my new go-to for hitting the Quarter.

Phone doesn't work, housekeeping doesn't come to take dirty towels or linen, they don't restock toilet paper unless you ask. The shower is set up in a way where water spills all over the floor. The chair in the room has stains on it and in the seat part which is gross. They changed the sheets and they had stains on them. Too expensive for what you actually receive. Staff was nice though.
