The Haunted Hotel

This place rules! It's conveniently located in the best part of the French Quarter, so walking to all the best shops, bars and spooky tours was easy. I loved the vibe and ambience of the place and Christina was unbelievably nice and helpful.If you're into the spooky season, this is the place.Will stay here again!

I loved this hotel so so much. The courtyard is so lovely to have a coffee or a cocktail in. I am not someone who can "hang" and our flight wasn't until 6PM. They let me sleep in instead of checking out!!! I'm obsessed with them. The two woman I spoke with during my stay were absolutely amazing. I'm for sure coming back!!!Thanks so much for the amazing time!

We've stayed at the Haunted Hotel three times in the last year. We wouldn't stay anywhere else!The staff are really accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The location is perfect two blocks from Bourbon Street, two blocks from Decatur and the market, a few blocks to Jackson Square, and please don't forget about Frenchman Street. The hotel was very cutely decorated each and every time we came down. It was very clean. It has a awesome courtyard! The courtyard is private to the hotel and locked to the public.We loved the courtyard so much so we decided to get married there last September. Ginger and Bobby (managers of the property) made it an awesome experience!

This was piece de resistance of this year's trip to NOLA. (Yelp doesn't do accent marks, but you know what I mean). I was so glad to have spent extra to book a hotel room in the Quarter. No issues waiting to recycle refreshments after the parade, just a quick trip back to the room. Feet hurt? Room just down the street from just about everywhere. It was super convenient.Where to begin? Great concept: Murder hotel haunted by the Edwardian era serial killer Axe Man, complete with a curio box containing a small hatchet found in the attic (not the murder weapon, obv). The staff claim Axeman was a maintenance man at the property way back when.The courtyard had a tent area and small fire, the main house was very lovely, and there were additional rooms in the back (servants' quarters?)The room: blood red and black decor, with haint blue (Southerners' tradition to keep the spirits in check). Blood splatter patterned sheets and amusing little murder themed cards everywhere.The area: between Chartres and Royal, and around the corner from Lalaurie mansion (evil slave owner ghost) and the Ursuline convent (nun ghosts). Several museums are down the street, but check the times, lots of these places close pretty early. The best part: Many beautiful and heavenly Sweet Olive trees were right next door in a walled garden and every time you leave, you can smell them! The blossoms are so fragrant! (Both Hove and Bourbon Street Perfumes have fragrance in this scent, btw).The Axeman: He made quite a few appearances, not visually, but he made his presence felt. His crimes ranged from turning off the hot water only in my room (requiring the staff to adjust the tank) to a ghostly chill that had to be mitigated by space heaters, to random thumping noises, to panty snatching. After several incidents where I walked into the other room and came back to find lingerie missing and then suddenly appearing draped across the television, Axeman and I had a conversation. I opined on his character, his boorishness and quite shocking lack of manners, and the fact that he was most likely a Yankee and no Southern gentleman at all. After that, he resigned himself to unexpectedly knocking small items off the nightstand, which was of course a slight inconvenience, but not overly offensive.

Staff here is really friendly and great. The outdoor patio area was a great place to relax before and after a day filled with activities and drinking. The room we stayed in was very nicely decorated and clean. The shower was really small and had below average water pressure, but it was ok and kind of expected since the room was in the older of the two buildings. Great location if you want to be near tourist hotspots.

This hotel is so well located! You're in the heart of the French Quarter, steps away from the revelry on Bourbon St, the shopping on Royal St, and the dining on Decatur. The building has been around 300 years, so there's some great history that the staff is only too glad to tell you about. The rooms are charming, and the beds are firm. You're not coming here for frills: if it's continental breakfast, a hotel bar, a pool you're after, keep looking. Personally, I don't need that from a hotel in the quarter. I prefer the charm and history of this hotel to assume generic chain any day, hands down. They are very friendly!

Our stay here was as wonderful as it was memorable. If you are sick to death (ha) of the same ol same ol carbon copy hotel rooms, this is the place for you. Each room has its own charm as well as a mini fridge, microwave, closet, and private bathroom. I know this because Ginger allowed us access to two rooms as ours was originally a smaller room, BUT she had a king open for all but one night of our stay! It was awesome! Herb and the rest of the staff were so kind and amazing (make sure to ask him to snap your photo in front of the fountain!). They also offer a kitchen area AND laundry area so you don't have to over pack or worry about finding a mat to use. They don't offer breakfast BUT next door is a wonderful historical cafe and that's honestly much better. I guess my only con is the beds are a bit hard but honestly when you're so tired at the end of your day it's no real issue. Ask for an extra comforter to lay on and your set.My husband and I will be back!

This hotel isn't for everyone. The parking situation sucks, and the rooms are less secure than I was used to. The wifi was pretty bad. Other than that, the TV was nice, bathroom great, and bed comfortable. I don't know if it is better than other options or if it is just standard for the area. I know I probably wouldn't come back, but it is because I would rather spring for a place with parking. If you are okay parking pretty far away and can get this place at a good price, go for it. Btw, I saw no ghosts.

Awesome small boutique hotel. We stayed in 4b. It is a couple blocks away from the quiet part of bourbon street, close to lafitte's bar(our favorite to stop and get a drink). The room was a good size, mattress firm, bathroom to die for and a small walk-in closet. The couple that works there are so nice This is a pet friendly hotel and we did bring two littles. The courtyard is relaxing and nice break from the craziness of bourbon. Overall I'd recommend the Haunted hotel. We are already looking to come back next year. Thanks for a great stay

Loved the place. The axe murder room we stayed in had a great story behind it and the courtyard murders did also... the hosts were wonderful and it was located a block away from the Vampire Cafe... Loved walking around the neighborhood and returning to the hotel. The one drawback was the lack of parking nearby but really liked the atmosphere and decor' of the place!
