Staff: The staff at the Rathbone Mansions is exceptional! I mentioned that the visit was for my wife's birthday. I didn't expect anything from it, but when we got into the room, it was an upgraded room and they'd left a nice bottle of wine and a birthday card for my wife. That alone would've been enough for me to write a great review, but there's so much more. Property: This property has a beautiful pool/hot tub with a little "tiki lounge" that isn't manned, but can be used by the guests as a hangout location. There are 2 mansions, 1x at 1244 and 1x at 1227. Both are phenomenal OLD buildings that are beautiful due to their architechture & decor. The grounds were also well maintained. The rooms were spacious, clean, & comfortable. Yes, there are old doors & windows that don't close or open easily, & the floors are not completely flat & a bit creaky, but it's a REALLY old mansion with original fixtures. For us, these things just added to the uniquness of the buildings. The housekeeping & staff are "dayshift" only, & they don't clean the rooms during your (short) stay unless requested. This was nice for us, we didn't need anything, there were plenty of towels, & soaps, etc. Area: "The Tremé" is older & has some downtrodden areas. There is a LOT of gentrification happening, & like many areas in NOLA, one street can be a bit scary & the next be really nice. We went to a show at the Mahalia Jackson Theater. It was an easy to walk there & we went to several nice little bars on Rampart Street on the way back to the hotel...all walking distance. It's only about 1-mile to walk from the hotel to the West Side of Bourbon Street. We took Uber rides to a few places & they always arrived within 2-3 mins. Overall: This place was wonderful & exceeded my expectations.

I can't think of anything... only that I wish I had more characters to write more about what I liked.

We stayed at the 1227 mansion. We had a late check-in and the instructions were straightforward. The mansion is beautiful - it has a lot of character with high ceilings and grand furniture. The rooms were large and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and the water pressure was great. The location is excellent. It's about a 20 minute walk into the French Quarter. There's coffee, fruit and cereal bars provided in the lobby and we spent some time in the evening sitting downstairs, enjoying the ambience. It was a lovely place to stay and I'd happily stay again!

The room was super clean very secluded.I liked that

Way to much light at night. One. Window in the bedroom had no curtain at all. Had to use a towel to cover it up. And the security light in the garden was way way too bright other than that, it was nice.

The staff is amazing! I stayed last year and will likely continue to stay there. The snacks and light breakfast are also great for my volleyball team as we have very early hours.

Nothing that can be helped much. It's just an older building. One of the beds was really squeaky any time you shifted on it but the overall stay is always so great that it is a small thing to deal with.

The place was amazing and the staff was so friendly. Will definitely stay there again.

I can't really find anything that I didn't like. The balcony was slightly wonky but sitting on the table watching the beautiful Street below was magical anyway.

The lady at the desk was exceptionally accommodating and helpful. The street, gate and the whole house is beautiful and well maintained. There is parking on the premises for a very reasonable price but also street parking available if needed. The Rathbone is walking distance from a few places to eat or get coffee. The walk to Habana was quick, easy and the food was delightful. The neighborhood is beautiful and we felt secure in our room. I have stayed in the French quarter before and I preferred the stay on esplanade at Rathbone. The stay was more personal, quiet and the staff is great.

It's a small property, but I knew that going in, so I didn't expect a big room. It was more spacious than I expected, and its proximity to the entry, main desk, and the pool and hot tub was A+, though. Beautiful little property they have there.

Everything was great really. The level of communication from the staff was great. I was not bothered by the neighborhood at all, but I can see how some solo travelers not familiar with a big city might be nervous. DON'T BE PUT OFF - IT'S A GREAT LOCATION! The hotel does everything to put you at ease; they do a great job of having security measures in place (codes, gates, etc) to make you feel 100% safe when you are in the property.

Handy location to French Quarter, but far enough away so we couldn't hear it at night.

This place was a great find, close to the French quarter and very comfortable. The courtyard is very cute, the room and bathroom were very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hot tub and pool area was awesome! Super cute, spacious, and well kept. There was an issue with the property telling us we had to do late check in but when I called because I had not gotten instructions for doing so they were very responsive immediately and helpful clearing up the miscommunication.

The only real issue we experienced was that the people in the room above us seemed to be doing some remodeling, using power tools and moving things around late at night and early in the day, which disturbed our sleep several nights. Otherwise we would have been completely unbothered by noise.

It was one of the cheapest place in the center of NOLA, and the place is in a beautiful historical mansion, which makes the experience great! The staff is generally really nice and helpful. The unlimited coffee/tea and snacks is also nice. The access to the swimming pool too, but it was too cold for us to use it.

The thing that could be improved is the staff communication and access to advertised services. One day, we wanted to use the jacuzzi outside that was supposed to be free and ready to use from 8am and it was out of service the full day. When we asked the staff, they told us it would be ready in 10 minutes, and it never got ready.
