Our new home away from home

We've been to New Orleans 3 times in the last 14 months and got married there last summer. This is the first time that we stayed at the St Helene. The staff was tremendous and I loved the renovated black and white rooms, funky courtyard, cozy bed and spacious shower. The price was reasonable and we would definitely be back. There was no elevator, or it was being worked on, so keep that in mind if you have bad knees!

delightfully suprised!!

My boyfriend and i absolutely loved this hotel!! The location is great, just a few blocks from Jackson square. Bed was comfy, the room was clean, and lets not forget that gem of a pool in the court yard! I cannot rave enough about how awesome and welcoming the staff was! When ever we go to New Orleans we try to stay at a different "old style" hotel. We will be staying at the St. Helene next year and i cant wait!

New Orleans getaways

Great location! It's a charming boutique Hotel close to all of the attractions in the French Quarter and only just two short blocks from the heart of Bourbon St. (less than a five minute walk). The room had a nice layout and quite comfortable. You will get a great night's sleep here. The Hotel does not have any extra amenities (gym, room service or restaurant), except a great room and a wonderful location. The next time I come back to N.O., I will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. Just remember to read the disclaimer about the NO ELEVATOR (our room was located on the first floor, so we didn't have worry about taking the stairs, but it was a little noisy hearing people carrying luggage up the stairs) and an $8.95 extra charge per night (charges for the wireless net & room safe).

We had a great time! The staff was friendly, helpful, and this location is the best for walking to all of the tourist sites. We were really happy that this hotel has a pool; we would definitely stay there again!

Great hotel, great staff, great location

This hotel was terrific! Staff were friendly and gracious, and the location was ideal. A long weekend away from real life was needed, and this was the perfect place to relax and experience the French Quarter. While nestled in the city, the hotel itself was quiet. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool refreshing. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a long weekend away, and stay here. You won't be disappointed.

Enjoyable experience - great location

This hotel is superbly located in the French Quarter. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the bed was uncomfortable, and the walls and doors were a bit dirty and tired. Our room was a courtyard suite which opened onto the courtyard, which meant we could hear every word spoken outside and every splash in the pool. No reserved parking at this hotel, and the nearby parking was extremely expensive, even for the French Quarter, at $35 overnight.

If you fly don't rent a car - parking is extortionate and you don't need one to get around the French Quarter.
