The Soniat House will give you a true sense of what it is like to live in the French Quarter. It's a totally different experience than staying in the Ritz Carlton or other new properties. You are in an old property (1830's) that includes a courtyard and balconies. We stayed in room #27 (Slave Quarters) and found it to be... more

Stumbled upon a 50% off summer rate for soniat. They then upgraded us to a better room with a 4 poster bed on the second floor with a balcony to the street. It was surprisingly quiet and romantic. Lovely high ceilings, older antiques, courtyard with elderly friendly cat to greet you. This place gives you the French Quarter experience in... more

Soniat House is a great little hotel. Low key, furniture is old on the good sense: old world charm. Very clean. Bed was great, bathroom was brand new, high quality everything. One of their apartments has two bedrooms connected by a door. Perfect for a family (but know that the bathroom is shared by both rooms). One of the rooms... more

We have stayed at Soniat a few times prior to Katrina and are hoping to visit again before the Christmas holidays this year. This is a wonderful place to stay for a true sense of the Quarter. It is a private, courtyard inn so you are without the chaos of a lobby on Bourbon Street. There is a concierge who... more

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Soniat. While not as bad as some reviewers have indicated, we've stayed at better hotels. The good: Very quiet, lots of antiques. We were upgraded from jr. suite to very large suite with 2 full baths, king bed, large livingroom area. Frette linens and towels were great and always replenished for... more

I was expecting a luxury property as their ads publicize & was excited to find a 50% summer price reduction rate. We booked a standard one bedroom and even at about $140, I was disappointed. The larger suites were a different matter. Those rooms are much larger , furnished with antiques & next to the outdoor balconies that overlook Chartes... more

Good : The Soniat House is a nice example of historic New Orleans architecture. The doormen and waiters are extremely friendly. The hotel is conveniently located in the French Quarter. Bad : The rooms are a bit dingy. They could use an interior decorator and a paint job. The AC unit in our room was very loud during our stay... more

Extremely disappointed. I booked the Soniat House in Novemeber for the Jazz fest in May and was guaranteed a King bed Junior Suite room so that is why I upgraded to the outrageous $425 a night before taxes. We were put in a subpar room which was very small with a queen bed and a very tiny bathroom. I went... more

At the Soniat House, we take pride in our ability to satisfy guest requests whenever possible. We offer a variety of room sizes and bed types, and feel that the charm of the hotel is reflected in it's old world, elegant New Orleans style. Each room is exquisitely furnished and individually decorated with authentic antiques and beautiful taste. As our...

I live 2 blocks away from the Soniat House and I have always loved the neighborhood we share and the ambiance of the hotel in general. My parents stayed in a suite the week of my wedding and my bridesmaids and I all got ready at the Soniat House. The staff was absolutely amazing to my parents and to my... more

I am saddened by the other family not having a great stay. We brought our two boys 8 and 11, and shared a two bedroom suite. The place was charming, the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly to the children. The place is unique with wonderful tall ceilings and beautifully appointed rooms. more
