Mar 22, 2025Great hotel, awesome staff
There were a few issues with my room, but the front desk was on it and made sure the issues were solved we were happy. Everyone was so gracious and accommodating. The resturant staff, the front desk, and valet really helped make this a great trip. Warning, this hotel is really in the heart of the French Quarter. You will see alot!

Mar 19, 2025Great location
Nice hotel right on Bourbon Street. The lobby and courtyard are very nice-the rooms facing the courtyard are thankfully quiet-however, the balcony is shared and it was disconcerting to have people standing right outside our French door! Great storage in the room. Amenities were good but the shower control was old and difficult to control the water temperature.

Great stay at The Royal Sonesta
Wonderful hotel. I highly recommend. The rooms were spacious and very well appointed. Lobby is beautiful and the courtyard and pool were just great! We sat in the courtyard every night! Staff was excellent and very helpful. I need to give a shoutout to Joe from valet. So kind and helpful! He was fantastic and took great care of us. We even found 2 bottles of water in the car for our ride out of town. This hotel was also a perfect location for getting all around town.

Very nice hotel in the middle of French Quarter fun
This is a very nice hotel right on Bourbon Street only 3 blocks off Canal. I feel like this was once one of the best hotels in the city but although it is still very nice I don’t feel that it is in the highest category any longer. They provide valet parking at $55 a day. The check in was fast and easy once check in time arrived. We arrived a couple of hours early and the registration person said your room is ready but if you check in now there is a $75 fee. I know this is not that unusual anymore but I always wonder why. If the room is already ready it costs them nothing to give me the key. Anyway, the room was nice. They could use a little more lighting. There is a window overlooking the courtyard but it was almost impossible to see out the window. The window was in dormer type set up and the desk was under the window with a chair that does not have wheels so you have to look out the window from about 4 feet away. Tip the rooms seem to be set up so that the courtyard views are the odd numbers and the street views are even numbers. You are in the French Quarter so the courtyard rooms are quieter than the street view rooms. The room and the common areas of the hotel are clean and nicely appointed. Another interesting thing for a top line type hotel is when you arrive at valet parking they help get the luggage out of the car but then there is no bellman to get the luggage into the building, up the elevator to registration. Once at registration there is someone to get the luggage to the room. It is just interesting there there is a gap there. Overall this is a very nice hotel right in the middle of the fun of the French Quarter. You really can’t go wrong staying here.
