Beautiful hotel, no hot water or heat

They moved us to the Monteleion hotel because the HVAC was not working. The Monteleion is a beautiful hotel with a wonderful staff. Unfortunately the HVAC did not work there either, nor did the water heater so we could not take a shower. I did expect a discount for the stay but we did nit.

Front desk was fabulous and made every attempt to be accommodating. Really our only complaint was the temperature of the room. They were entirely to hot and we were unable to open any windows. We did alert the front desk to this issue. They told us the heat and air are centralized so they were unable to turn the temp down in our room. They did offer a box fan, which helped. However, when you spend that much money for a room, you should be comfortable.

M.c.

I had gotten a room for New Year's Day, and the bombing happened. There was no way to even get to the hotel because all streets around it were closed and the FBI told people to stay away. The hotel would not issue me a refund. I love New Orleans and plan on going again, but not to this place.

Disappointed

Didn't get to stay at the Bienville. They were having HVAC problems and moved all the reservations to the Montelone Hotel (which is a bit dated, room fixtures and amenitites wise). I was really looking forward to the room I reserved with a patio and shower-only at the Bienville House.

The Bienville house moved us to the Monteleone hotel due to no power. The hotel was beautiful, the staff is great! The bartender Reggie was also amazing! Great drinks and very personable and sociable, even being busy. Gave good suggestions of places to visit.

Tres Bienville

If you are looking for a decent size room in the heart of the quarter... This is it! Staff way very friendly and it's just close enough to Bourbon but far enough that the noise won't keep you up.. I will be back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at Bienville House overall. It is an excellent location in the French Quarter and walking distance to all of the places we wanted to visit-Bourbon Street, the River Walk and other site seeing. We had a room with 2 double beds which were super comfortable. The room was a bit dated and was not as "bright" as it looked online. The bathroom was very nice, updated, modern. Plenty of hot water, the water pressure fair. The only problem we had of any significance was customer service- with the exception of Beverly, who was gracious and welcoming and very helpful at check in. However, surprisingly, the other front desk staff were not. No greetings, or smiles. I don't think we would stay there again.

I enjoyed the location. It made it easy to walk everywhere. I had ants in bathroom. I asked for ant traps. They said they would take care of when I left for day. The ants were still there after and no ant traps were left.
