Staying in Old Algiers at the House of the Rising Sun is special.  Here's why: - Kevin, Wendy, Boudin and the small town friendliness make you feel welcome - The house is small, but very nice - breakfast is light (mostly fruit) and appreciated after eating fried food at most other meals - 5 minute walk to the ferry -...

I have visited New Orleans on many occasions over the years but this was the first time that I had stayed in Algiers. The tranquillity of the neighbourhood offers a most refreshing change while being just a seven minute free ferry ride away from the better known attractions of the city. The hospitality offered by Kevin and Wendy is of... More

Thanks for the wonderful review! It has taken you a while to come and stay in Algiers Point instead of the French Quarter but glad you enjoyed the neighborhood so much. As a welcome guest from Merry Olde England, we hope to see you next year for Jazz Fest. More

No wonder this B&B has a top ranking at tripadvisor. Located in beautiful and quiet Algiers point it's the perfect location for exploring NOLA. Leave your car parked right outside and walk to the free ferry around the corner. The ferry takes you to downtown New orleans in a couple of minutes without the hassle of having to find a... More

In the past three years, we have traveled to New Orleans 7 times and each time we stay in a different hotel. Last August we ventured across to Algiers Point on the ferry for an afternoon adventure and discovered the charm of Algiers. When we returned to N.O. for the Final Four in March/April, we changed pace and stayed here... More

We had a beautiful five day stay with Kevin and Wendy. Felt like we were visiting with old friends. The rooms are delightfully decorated in a homey / comfy style. Clean as a whistle, with all the amenities you could want. The best breakfast, fabulous recommendations from our hosts and quiet privacy when you want it, or engaging conversation when... More

The House of the Rising Sun provides a very pleasant respite from what could be considered the hustle and bustle of New Orleans. It’s location is very easy to find by car and we were able to virtually park at the front door which made for very quick and easy unloading since our arrival was in the pouring rain. We... More

Kevin (and Wendy, although I only saw her briefly in the mornings) were fantastic hosts and made my stay here very memorable. Communication before the stay was excellent and the welcome beer was much appreciated. Kevin gave excellent advice on places to visit, music and tours and was always happy to stop to chat. The room was large and comfortable... More

DH and I were in NOLA for 4 days in 4/2012. This was our 1st time in a B&B and we loved it! We are frequent bus. travelers and were tired of the cold, commercialistic confines of traveling. So we tried to make this vac travel different and I think we hit a home run! Kevin, Wendy and Boudin made... More

I cannot say enough about this B&B. Everything (the atmosphere, room, food and owners) was absolutely wonderful! Kevin & Wendy, thanks so much for making us feel at home (more like family, actually) instantly, for creating a clean & quiet respite after hot crazy days in the city, with front and back porches inviting us to relax and slow down...

Kevin and Wendy have a great little place there in Algiers Point. The room rate was incredibly reasonable and the accommodations ideal. My husband and I had never been to Algiers but are glad we discovered it. The neighboring restaurants and bars were welcoming and the locals are a lot of fun! Its a nice quiet neighborhood to stay in... More
