Hotel de la Monnaie, French Quarter

The hotel exceeded our expectations! It was clean, quiet and comfortable! Trenelle (sp?) at the desk was fantastic. She was very kind, welcoming and helpful. The room was stocked with everything we could need. The bed was extremely comfortable and all of the bed linens were clean and ironed!

Located at the eastern corner of the French Quarter, the hotel is a short walk from anywhere in the Big Easy. It is well laid out, and our suite on the 2nd floor faces an inner courtyard. The rear opened out onto a terrace overlooking Esplanade Avenue and the junction with N. St. Peters Street. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly with regard to local geography and attractions. Access and egress is easy at anytime.

Within walking distance of the French Quarter, Burbon Street and riverside as well as down town Canal Street and Poydras Street for anyone with reasonable mobility. Had a small pool for splashing about in and minimal gym facilities. Had some authenticity about it but in need of a little TLC. A very pleasant stay.

We loved everything about this charming hotel! The location is perfect! We were able to walk to everything in the French quarter and Frenchmen Street. We felt very safe the entire time. Both front desk people we met were extremely nice and check in/out was quick and painless. The free parking garage is small but we had no trouble getting a spot. It was great to leave our car somewhere so secure the whole time! And for free!! We had suites 405 and 408. They were both impeccably clean, well decorated and the a/c worked great. They both seemed to have been recently updated with new flooring and paint. 408 is a 2 bedroom suite and has lots of windows with really good views. Both suites were very spacious, even 405, the 1 bedroom. We didn’t use the sofa beds but we slept great on the actual beds. We couldn’t have asked for a better New Orleans experience. Can’t wait to stay again.

My husband and I were amazed at how big the room was with a spacious living room and small kitchenette (which you can even cook in if you so wish), a comfortable bedroom, and a bathroom with a tub that doubles as a jacuzzi. Our room faces the courtyard which was nice. Near the elevator was a spacious balcony with tables and chairs spread out that you can enjoy a nice takeout meal and take in the fresh air. The hotel has an old world charm about it. Bonus is that right across the street from the hotel is the streetcar stop, the Jazz Museum, and the French Market. The French Quarter is right around there too. A very convenient location indeed and along a quiet street. The staff are friendly and helpful as well.
