Stayed at this hotel with a friend during the jazz festivals. We had a room on the 3rd floor. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean, but the room itself was EXTREMELY small. When you walk in, the bed takes up most of the space and there's absolutely no room to lay out your luggage. It was annoying... More

Hotel Royal has recently been remodeled. My room was gorgeous! The location is perfect! It is located on a very quiet street. Everything is in walking distance. The staff was so lovely. I could not recommend this place enough!

Great location on Royal St, a short walk to all the bars and restaurants of the French Quarter. It's close enough to Bourbon St that you can walk there, but not so close that you have to put up with that mess when you want to sleep! Also within walking distance of Frenchmen St, another cool area for quirky bars... More
