    I go to New Orleans often and this has been my favorite place to stay by far! The staff were so nice and friendly. The location could not have been more perfect! My most recent trip has been, hands down, the best trip so far and we owe a lot of that to the Ursuline Guest House. We will only stay here from now on!!! Thank you!!

    I had a great stay here during Southern Decadence. It's in a great location, close to the bars and other sites and activities in the French Quarter. The managers/owners are very accommodating and friendly. It worked out great for me.

    Ursuline Guest House in a word; Perfect. Loved the age of the building - squeaks in floors, exposed pipes in bathroom, patches of brick showing through. Beautiful. The location was fabulous. Close enough to everything 'French Quarter' but tucked off to the side so it was nice and quiet. The people of Ursuline were just as fantastic. Very accommodating. There was always someone there to point me in the right direction in the mornings and in the evenings during the wine and cheese hour, someone who was genuinely interested to know how my day went. I loved being there and wouldn't change a moment of it. I'm looking forward to my next adventure to NOLA and will not stay anywhere else. ~Shay. Canada~

    These folks are really lovely and laid back and the guest house is pretty from the outside and located in a great central part of the French Quarter and dog-friendly. They were welcoming and obviously put care into the spot -- offering wine and a little self-serve breakfast. But it was simply way too dirty and run-down. We changed rooms at first because the first room had mystery stains on the bed, as well as a shower without a grate and some hair. Our second room was nicer, in the sense that everything is relative. But there was still a stain on our sheet (I believe they had been washed but that the stain endured) and you could not turn on the sink hot water in the bathroom, as the faucet knob had been removed. The people running the place were as accommodating as possible, but nothing can change the fact that this inn needs a fresh coat of paint, all-new linens, and an incredibly thorough cleaning. It's a sweet place and a nice old New Orleans building, and I think they would do a great business if they took care of these basic necessities.

    Very friendly place to stay in the heart of the French Quarter. Within minutes of the Riverwalk, Cafe du Monde, Bourbon St, Frenchman St. We didn't rent a car and walked everywhere. Bill and his staff are friendly and helpful. The evening gathering for wine and cheese was really great, lots of fun conversations with other guests from all over. We had a wonderful week there.
