French Market Inn is an exceptional property and exceeded our expectations. In my opinion, it is the perfect location for everything the French Quarter has to offer: right around the corner from Napoleon House and Antoine’s, just across from the Mississippi River (you can hear the steamboat whistle and listen to the calliope playing each morning), PJ’s coffee is right next door (where you can enjoy a delicious latte’ and freshly baked croissants), just steps away from beautiful Jackson Square (where you can catch a horse drawn carriage ride), near Cafe’ du Monde and right across from Kilwin’s ice cream shop and JAX Brewery Mall. But the real magic is the hotel courtyards and suites✨Built in 1722 and completely renovated, the exposed brick, old world finishes, landscaping and fountains are gorgeous and well tended. The courtyards were a perfect place to spend time while having breakfast, and at night, while enjoying the quiet ambience of the gas lamps and fountains. The French Market Inn was by far the BEST part of our 10 day stay in The Vieux Carre’. A big thank you to the staff for their hospitality, support and smiles during our stay…stellar customer service!

Absolutely nothing!

The location was ideal ! It was close to everything (shops, restaurants, must-see attractions), and very quiet at the same time. The room was comfy and clean. The outside was very pretty, with fountains, a sort of patio area, and a pool. Also, for people looking for an hotel that provides breakfast, know that it is really not a must in this area, as you have places that serves breakfast just next to the hotel, and Café du Monde is also located almost across the street.

Nothing ! Maybe one recommandation would be to provide a bottle of water in the room, but other than that, the room had everything I needed.

If you're visiting New Orleans and want to be near the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and all the city's top attractions, this is the perfect place to stay. The location is unbeatable—right on Decatur Street, making it easy to explore the vibrant heart of NOLA on foot while still having quick access to taxis or rideshares to reach other parts of the city. Despite being in a lively area, the moment you step inside, it feels like a peaceful retreat. The hotel’s charming courtyard is a hidden gem, offering a quiet and relaxing escape from the bustling streets. My room was just what I needed—quiet, and refreshingly cool, the perfect way to unwind after a long day of music, culture, and great food. The staff was friendly, helpful, and always ready to make my stay comfortable. As a solo traveler, safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease throughout my stay. It’s rare to find a place that offers both convenience and tranquility, but this one strikes the perfect balance. Whether you're here for the history, nightlife, or just to soak in the city’s incredible atmosphere, this hotel makes the experience even better. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay in New Orleans!

I was worried that the view was of a parking lot through a tiny window and there would be street noise, but actually it was amazing to see the sun rise over the Mississippi and see the Natchez come in and out of harbor. The room was dead quiet even on Friday and Saturday night when the city was going nuts. The bathroom is clean and nicer than a typical hotel. Love the courtyard. Love the 1700s charm. Beds were more comfortable than a typical hotel. Location is superlative, cannot be better.

Nitpicking, but the courtyard is generally used by smokers when I just want to relax with coffee and a pasty and not smell cigarettes.

The location is right across the Steamboat Natchez, you are 10 minutes on foot from each side of the French quarter. Absolutely perfect and far enough from the extremely loud busy part of the neighbourhood. Also, very close to tram stops and buses. Bathroom was spacious, I personally found the bed very comfortable. While you can't open the windows, the air-conditioned can be set from the room and worked perfectly. The staff was lovely. In particular, I was extremely lucky to check in with Deidra. Her presence in the hotel became a nice part of my staying in New Orleans. As a big extra: I loved staying in a place that has been an inn, historically, for two-hundred years.

The only not super positive aspect is that ONLY IF people in other rooms are extremely loud and unrestful, you can hear them. Happened to me with people playing extremely loud music until 3am (the hotel kindly offered me to change room). After those people left, I heard nothing in the following days.

The room was very clean. The bed was super comfy. The shower pressure was amazing. Everything was in perfect working order. And even tho we had a room facing the busy Decatur St, it was well sound proofed and we could barely hear even the loud calliope on the river boat just across from us.

It would have been nice to have a dresser or even the luggage racks for placing your suitcase on. We were able to hang up all of our clothes in the closet, but it would have been nice to have a place to put the suitcase for things that don't hang up like undergarments.

French Market Inn is located off the beaten path in the French Quarter. We loved the location-close to bus stops and within walking distance of many tourist spots. The bed was very comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep.

There was a faint noise in our room at night, possibly from the air system. We reported to the front desk that the restroom door needed lubrication and that there was some noise coming from the ceiling, but unfortunately, these issues were not resolved during our stay.

This hotel is situated in a street very close to famous French Quarter, that I walked everywhere but, it was also very quiet. Also, I felt quite secure as a female solo traveller. The personnel was great. Responsive and helpful. I stood in the petite queen room with a window, and it had all the things I needed. Room was beautifully decorated, the hotel had a lovely courtyard too. You could enjoy your book with a coffee there. Nice choice of soaps, I liked it. Confy bed. Highly recommended.

The reason it is not a 10 and 9: I think it is a safety issue due to the window structure of the building but I would like to have a window that could have been opened. The room I chose was with window and I had beautiful natural light, but it does not open. Now to be fair, unlike a previous bad experience, I never felt stuffed in the room, their air-conditioning system was great. But I just love fresh air.

This is absolutely our favorite hotel in New Orleans. 1. It’s beautiful with the exposed bricks, antique furniture and cozy courtyard. 2. You can walk to anything you want to see from there. This trip we walked to a concert at the Saenger, Royal Street, Bourbon Street and the French Market. 3. Great/convenient parking setup. 4. The staff is always nice and incredibly helpful.

Nothing. The is absolutely nothing to not like.

Stay here. If you're visiting NOLA and want to be close to the French Qtr and Jackson Sq., etc., then you cannot beat The French Market Inn. Decatur is a main thoroughfare, but once inside, it's an oasis. The courtyard is wonderful and charming. The room as perfect - dark, quiet, cool - the perfect thing after a night of music, culture and fun. It's walkable to all the things you want in NOLA - and since Decatur is a main road, you can catch a taxi and easily get to other parts of the city without dealing with the crowds in the quarter. It sounds over the top, but this place is kind of perfect for all the things you want/need for your stay.

Nothing.
