This is a late review for a stay last summer. After reading a bad review, I just had to put my two cents' worth in. I think this property is wonderful. Arriving on a sweltering July day, my husband and I were escorted in by a gentleman (a word I do not use lightly) to the "office", which looks more... more

There is a great sense of place at Soniat House. You won’t find all the amenities and service of a mainstream hotel, and it’s in need of refurbishing here and there, but it feels SO authentically New Orleans. The location, in a peaceful part of the French Quarter, is also a plus. We were there during Mardi Gras, in a... more

Beware in making your reservation. My fiance and I each called separately to book a three night stay during Jazz Festival. We were told which room they had available and we booked a room for our stay. We then book our non-refundable airline reservations. The next day we received our fax confirmation that had us staying 4 nights instead of... more

In reading some previous reviews, it seems that many people are expecting full service amenities at this antique jewelbox of...the most elegant B&B that ever existed in New Orleans. Granted, the property is listed among SLH places, meaning Small Luxury Hotels. And still, to us the Soniat House is the following: An absolutely stunning, antique-filled, quintessentially New Orleans almost-B&B, with... more

We stayed at the Soniat House during the Thanksgiving holiday and were mostly impressed. Particularly loved the breakfast--it is served most elegantly, absolutely delicious and worth the extra money (although it really should be included in the rate). Our room was very traditional, had access to a verandah overlooking the French Quarter and the horse and buggies going by. BUT--there... more

My husband and I stayed in a jr. suite at the Soniat House in late October for the week of our wedding. It was beautiful and we didn't want to leave. The Soniat House truly captures old New Orleans elegance. If you go, take a deep breath and and slow down a bit. Follow the advice of the staff -... more

I agree with the reviews I've read so far -- really loved some things about the Soniat -- location and staff are absolutely high points. I really don't understand why there's not a free breakfast or a little coffee maker in the room or even a way to easily get ice. I enjoyed our room - high ceilings and very... more

This hotel tries to position itself as a high end hotel with a french flavor. I was able to get a $250 rate, the room was rather small, which is ok, but it was showing wear. It was clean, the staff was nice. I was not too impressed with the courtyard, it needs some maintenance. Breakfast is served there at... more

We were scheduled to stay in the Soniat House in mid July for 2 nights and called to cancel the week before and was unable to do so. More than 48 hours was given and still we were charged for one night's stay. The hotel looks quaint and I would have loved to stay there yet with this type of... more
