Great room. Great location. Great breakfast. Would 100% and already have suggested this place to anyone who wants to see NOLA but doesn’t want to be on Bourbon. Thank you for a great birthday weekend.

Room was immaculate, bed was comfortable, all was great, the clerk on court explained everything upon arrival and everything was easy
Creole Gardens is truly a New Orleans experience. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The breakfast and dining room are delightful, although options are limited. Their central location makes this an enjoyable place to be close, but not too close to the entire city. For us older folks the second-floor stairs were quite challenging, but the staff is accommodating. The rooms are “unique”. Remember, this is New Orleans…not your average Holiday Inn Express experience.
Staff were friendly and helpful!!
Funky, colorful, courtyard with places to sit and chill amidst banana trees and patio plants.
We throughly enjoyed our week long visit.

We stayed at this B and B near St Charles Ave because it was close to the WW2 Museum. It is an easy walk to the museum. We paid for a larger room, and we got that. We were comfortable there, but the B and B is in need of a makeover. Our room was at the top of a 21 step staircase which is important to be aware of as are many of the rooms. Breakfast was good, but the choices were limited. The people working there were very nice!
Repeat visitors... wonderful history, culture, staff and breakfast

This property has friendly staff and a nice breakfast is offered. The bed wasn’t comfortable for me but I don’t like hard mattresses and I did see one water roach in the restroom. I had a different expectation since it’s a bed and breakfast but it’s okay. It was a room and a place to stay.
Friendly and helpful staff. Great location and one street away from streetcar. The breakfast every morning was good and there was something for everyone. The room was clean and had an old-world charm. An all around, great place to stay.
This is our go-to place when we stay in NOLA. It’s a hidden treat with hot breakfast, fun weekend activities, and the best customer service you could ask for!
We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Creole Gardens. The location, the history, the food, and most importantly, the helpful service. It was our first visit to New Orleans, and the staff provided a wealth of tips on places to go and things to see. If we could give it 10 stars, we would!
A lovely old property with tons of character and a very nice staff. The room was stayed in was charmingly furnished, and the made-to-order breakfast was a wonderful touch. My gf and I will very likely stay at Creole Gardens again!
