The chimes est très bien situé, à qq pas du charmant tram pr aller en ville (20min).Quartier calme pr se reposer et flaner entre les magnifiques maisons. Jill est tres chaleureuse et à l'écoute, elle prépare le meilleur petit-déjeuner que je n'ai jamais connu avec des fruits frais, des pains speciaux et des croissants excellents! Son mari parle français , ce qui est un atout (en famille, les anciens et les jeunes ne maitrisaient pas la langue). Les chambres d'hôtes sont séparées de la maison principale et ont bcp de charme. Je recommande vivement, vous ne regretterez pas son prix qui reste raisonnable par rapport aux autres logements, le charme, l'accueil et le goût en plus!

My sister and I have stayed at New Orleans bed-and-breakfasts before with our mother, who died last year; we made this trip to remember her, and Jill made our stay at The Chimes wonderful. She's the consummate hostess and The Chimes is beautiful, charming, and perfectly located (near both Magazine Street and the St. Charles streetcar). We loved it!

I returned to the Chimes in January or the first time since Katrina. I was so happy to see that some things don't change. The room was clean, warm, cozy and inviting. Jill, the innkeeper is very friendly, and very accomadating. The breakfast with the other guests is a great time to share everones experinces and plan the day. The courtyard with it's refrigerator to store goodies and drinks is is so relaxing and inviting.I would highly recommend thisa B&B for it's great location, fantastic The Chimes B&B is a keeper!!!

We stayed in Room 1 and it was awesome. This Inn is accesible to downtown but the streetcar. Food was great.
4.6 out of 5A memorable Bed & Breakfast
January 14, 2008
Even though I stayed in this Bed and Breakfast in 2003, it set the standard for what I expect in all B&B's. The rooms were clean and spacious. The food delicious and fresh. The staff friendly. And the location is perfect. You are in the garden distric, so the area is quiet and peaceful, but the trolley is a few blocks away and takes your right into the French Quarter in 10-15 minutes. I highly recommend!
4.8 out of 5C'est bon!

If you are looking for a quiet retreat where you can relax, enjoy nature, read a book, take a nap, and enjoy a wholesome French-inspired breakfast, call Jill at the Chimes. But don't book too often because I'm heading back!

We return year after year to this lovely B & B. My husband came here for years on business and now we come for relaxation and fun. The Chime’s host Jill will make you feel completely at home and is very knowledgeable and helpful about anything New Orleans has to offer. Sitting in the beautiful brick courtyard, enjoying the lovely garden and breeze is one of my favorite ways to unwind each year. You won't be sorry with a stay at the Chimes... you will also be a repeat guest.
