We had the whole lovely courtyard to ourselves every evening and the whole place felt like apartments more than a hotel. Staff were fast to respond and helpful. The property is historic and my room was a bit musty smelling but our stay was a success. We walked to the French Quarter in 5 min and there were convenience stores and a few restaurants just a few blocks away.

The hotel, conveniently located adjacent to the French Quarter, was full of antique charm, from a four post bed to a vanity complete with decorative accoutrements. The French doors and dormers let in an amazing amount of natural light and fresh air from the connected balcony which allowed for outdoor enjoyment of morning coffee. The pool was only a few feet deep but, we spent our outdoor time mostly in the bubble-free hot tub, there was a lovely trellis overflowing with jasmine which filled the air with a magical aroma. The only downsides would be the minimal view from our room and the air conditioning unit that sounded like an active piece of construction machinery. Staff was friendly and helpful, if not a bit skeptical of the possibility of resident ghosts.

We were very pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Rathbone Mansions! We walked around the area every day and easily caught an uber home in the evenings. The suite was very roomy and the bed was super comfortable. We will definitely be back!

The best sleep I've ever had. The location was great, you could walk everywhere the rooms were amazing, staff was friendly and good Lord that comfortable bed just made the trip. It's been a while since I've been so happy with a hotel! The restaurant down the street Lil Dizzy's had some delicious food.

Staff was great, room was nice. I did not book parking in time so we had to park on the street which was okay but could get crowded at night. We still found parking within the area. The bed was a little hard, but for a quick 2-night stay, it was ok. The staff was wonderful!

The hotel was a lovely old classic New Orleans house in the French quarter. The room felt a bit run down but it was beautiful and had big wraparound balcony out front.
The rooms were a great size and the staff were lovely and helpful.
Overall, good value for money.
