    Great location, brilliant staff - needs some TLC

    We stayed here for 3 nights in April 2019. The reception staff, manager and doorman were all brilliant - friendly, helpful and informative. The location is great, a few steps away from the French Quarter and on Magazine Street, so it's still safe to walk to at night. The rooms are sizeable so we had a god amount of space. The few things I would have an issue with are that the hotel (apart from the lovely lobby) is pretty rough round the edges and could do with a refurb (paint, fittings, carpets in hallways). We stayed in the back building of the hotel (it is split in two with a very nice courtyard in the middle). The double queen room we were in was quite dark and the bathroom was very small, but it suited us fine as the rest of the room was very large. The breakfast is also quite disappointing (hot drinks, croissants, yoghurt and fruit) - we've had better in a Holiday Inn or Best Western - and could do with maybe some cereal etc. We got a really good deal (around £270 for 3 nights) so I am content overall with the experience.

    Think twice before booking!

    I never review hotels since if it’s not good I just don’t go back. This one, however, deserves 5mins of my time for a proper, honest review. Despite google reviews were all negative, we decided to try it anyway since location was good and tripadvisor reviews were good. - Despicable young girl at reception. At every interaction she was never smiling, nor polite nor helpful in anyway. We felt we were bothering her. - The corridor in the second-floor smells musty - The bathroom is mouldy in several areas (shower and sealing) - Pubic and head hair IN the bed - They say breakfast included but it’s only croissant and juice! - Best of all, got stuck out of the room. We booked 2 nights non-refundable, but we were happy to get out of here after the first night and book another hotel.

    Ladies night!! Big five-oh!

    It was my mothers 50th birthday so we decided to spend the time in New Orleans. We traveld fro.Corpus christi tx. The service was great, staff was friendly, unfortunatly, we had to cut our trip short due to a family emergency. But if we are able to travel again, we definitely stay at the St. James Hotel!

    Convenient and close to everything!

    Hotel is super close to everything. We walked everywhere! Parking is off site, but it's only a block away, literally 5 minutes or less. And it was "free", included in our hotel price. Trust me, trying to park anywhere is expensive.

    Disappointing- online pictures are not accurate

    The most disappointing stay. The floor we stayed on smelled old and like mildew. The carpet needed to be cleaned desperately. We had to burn incense in the room to tolerate the smell. All the furniture is very old, damaged and outdated. The cabinet where the refrigerator is was dry rotted and falling through. There was leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom.

    Bring your own pillow!

    I stayed at this hotel for a weekend away with my girlfriend. I had an average experience overall, but I'll break it down. Pros: VERY close to the French Quarter. We walked to almost everything we wanted to do. The parking, while offsite and a block away, was secure and seemed very safe. I paid $20 a day for self parking there. Cons: The pillows were very flat. 3 pillows on the bed for 2 people meant that one person had basically no head support. The bed frame was incredibly creaky, to the point where any rolling over woke up the other sleeper. The hotel, though historic I guess, wasn't in the best repair. Missing toilet paper roll holder, torn shower curtain. Simple things that would be a quick fix. I had some other issues: I asked for an additional pillow after the first night, desk clerk couldn't find one with a case on it, but said she would bring me one. Never happened. The hotel has a "courtyard" between two buildings where people tend to congregate. My room happened to be on the ground floor immediately adjacent to it. It was impossible to sleep with loud drunk people screaming outside. I didn't think this hotel was really a "party" hotel, but it definitely has the potential to be loud.
