It was a quiet place for a R&R. I can not say enough about our stay be AWESOME, we are going to go back in the future. Thanks Bonnie Tanya and Wayne from Morgan City LA

We really enjoyed our stay here. There were six of us. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms were well kept, with complimentary sherry in each room, and we enjoyed happy hour with our friends on the upstairs veranda. Highly recommend it.

October 12, 2012
The best thing about the Grand Victorian B&B is Bonnie Rabe, most excellent of all Innkeepers! Bonnie knows and loves "nola" and gave us excellent tips for our shopping trips, tours, dining experiences and all things "new orleans". When I return to New Orleans, I will definitely stay at the Grand Victorian and renew my acquaintance with the delightful Bonnie.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks! I'll look forward to your next visit to NOLA & the Grand Victorian!5 out of 5Lovely Garden District B&B
May 31, 2012
I was thrilled to find a B&B at one of the most convenient corners in the Garden District, surprised to find that they had a room available for the first week of JazzFest, and delighted when we arrived and saw the Grand Victorian. It's a lovely example of a gracious Garden District Victorian home, beautifully restored and maintained. Bonnie met us when we arrived and she and Rachel are the perfect hostesses. They're both friendly and helpful and interesting, and they cook up a fine breakfast. We were very happy with our room and its period furnishings - and I slept like a baby on the comfortable mattress. The bath was a real treat, the amenities were very nice, the towels and bathrobes were the perfect thickness of good-quality terry, and I could have spent the entire weekend relaxing in the huge tub. I plan to spend many more weekends in NOLA at the Grand Victorian!
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for your kind words! Please do come back anytime!!4.2 out of 5Our three rooms during Jazz Fest were just great!
May 28, 2012
When I reserved three rooms at the GVBB for the second weekend of Jazz Fest for our family this year, I was expecting the worst beacuse it was the only place in the Garden District with rooms still available when we planned out trip. I thought there must be some problem with the place. I read through many online reviews and while most were glowing, some complained about the rooms not being clean and the housekeeping services being sub par. Definitely not the case with our three rooms. The housekeeping service was excellent and all rooms were in excellent condition. The renovation and restoration work in the rooms and throughout the building was of excellent quality, and I say this as an owner of a high end residential and historic renovation and construction business for over thirty years. The staff was friendly, gracious and helpful. The breakfasts were casual, low pressure and ample. Intimate breakfast room offered opportunity for good conversations with other guests who were music fans. I would be nice if breakfast started at 7:30 instead of 8:30, but it may be because one bedroom opens directly off the dining area that the start time is delayed. The second floor veranda was a great asset for the evenings when we all wanted to just kick back after a day at the festval and have some beer, wine and cheese instead of going out for dinner. The one issue that was a minor problem for me was that the reservation had to be prepaid with a check and could not be paid with a credit card. Bottom line is that I would certainly stay at the Grand Victorian again and I will recommend it to any friends visiting New Orleans.
Innkeeper Response
It was a pleasure to host your family during Jazz Fest 2012. I appreciate your wonderful remarks as it is our goal to meet all expectations for every guest whenever possible. Sorry that the Special Event pre-payment policy was problematic, but it has become an industry standard here in NOLA for Special Events. Thanks again for choosing the Grand Victorian!4.6 out of 5Beautiful Vacation!
November 21, 2011
I got to stay a week in the home of my dreams!Beautifully restored Victorian with beautifully appointed rooms. Bonnie and staff made it feel like a real home. Very helpful with questions about the "Big Easy". Easy to get to town. St. Charles St. was charming in itself with amazing homes from the past. Thanks for making it a vacation of a lifetime. You can tell this home is your passion....it shows.
