A well situated boutique hotel, with excellent rooms with enormous beds. Very friendly service, free wireless service, close to business and french quarters and also handy for the convention centre. more

We arrived after an all night drive from Kansas City, found a great spot for lunch and proceed to the hotel a little early to try and squeeze in a much needed nap. Kerry was very quick to accomodate our group. One of the gals in our group had multiple conversations with Kerry prior to booking our accomodations; we were... more

We got last minute tickets to the BSC National Championship Game, so were limited in our hotel choices. We were impressed with the TripAdvisor rating and that there was availability, so we booked. The room rate was outrageous, but we expected that considering the circumstances. Arriving early for check-in, the front desk did accommodate us with a suite which was... more

We scrambled for a New Year's hotel near the Quarter and stumbled on the Lafayette based on TripAdvisor ratings. The room was suite-style and comfortable. The staff was friendly. Located on Lafayette square, we were a few blocks from Bourbon St and a short walk to the Superdome for the Sugar Bowl, exactly the location we wanted. The price was... more

We recently spent 3 nights at the Lafayette Hotel - 12/28 - 12/31. What a fantastic hotel. The staff was terrific and the location was excellent. The room was a king suite and very spacious and nicely decorated. The restaurant across the street - Herbsaint was absolutely wonderful. Don't miss it. The hotel is close enough to Bourbon Street to... more

We were deeply disappointed by our stay as we had previously dropped by the hotel bar and liked the hotel's appearance. It's physically attractive in an oldfashioned but pleasant way. The Location is a selling point for business men and lawyers as the courthouses and office centers are immediately proximate. The problems are many for tourists and businessmen alike. There... more

The Lafayette Hotel in New Orleans is excellent from the quality and friendliness of the staff to the atmosphere and location of the hotel. Our companies' marketing people from across Canada were attending a shopping centre convention in New Orleans. For this convention we were free to choose our own hotel instead of the convention hotel. When traveling on business... more

I was a bit anxious as I had booked online BUT this was one of the best boutique hotels I/we have ever stayed in. Staff (Kerry, Luis, Gabriel) you were the best. Location was awesome.. easy walk to everything. We were single women travelling alone and felt very safe here. Value for $ was amazing and the rooms were spacious... more

We try to get to New Orleans once a month. We love all the interesting neighborhoods, shopping, walking and enjoying all the creative energy in the city. We always stay at the Lafayette Hotel. The location is great, I love the staff and I love the rooms. The hotel is always inviting, for us it's become like visiting an old... more

Excellent hotel, pleasant staff, room was beautiful and very clean, comfy (huge) beds, great location (quiet and pretty in the business district but within walking distance to the French Quarter). Only complaint would be that if having a phone and safe in the room is mandatory, and there are mandatory charges associated with that, then they should just include them... more
