We stayed for 6 nights at the Prince Conti after combining the stellar reviews and the reasonable price. We requested a quiet room in the back and sure got what we asked for. They gave us room 248, which was in effect a mini-suite, with one part consisting of a room with desk, couch, TV, and 3 other tables, there were 2 small closets, and toward the back, a very large area with king size bed, tables and lamps, and a large chair. All the furnishings were attractive, and in the antique style. Although the hotel is 2/3 block from Bourbon St. there is absolutely no noise from that direction. The only noise we heard was on the weekend from the hotel's nightclub, directly below our room, and that was well-muffled jazz, very pleasant, and ended about 12:30. The continental breakfast was very satisfactory - fresh juices, croissants and pastries, coffee and tea, and fruit - don't know what those who have complained about it expect from a free continental breakfast. All the staff were always pleasant and accomodating, and yes the housekeeping staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Our stay helped contribute to a very pleasant week. We got a complete confirmation upon reserving, a reminder about a week before arrival, and a thanks after our stay, indicating that the management has the guests in mind and cares about their stay and their opinions.

We booked a large suite for me to prepare for our wedding, which was across the street, and for us to spend the night in after the wedding.

The room was HUGE with its own courtyard.

Of course, the building is old, but considering that, it was very nice. Plenty of room to get ready and hang out before and after the event.

It had a full sized kitchen (the odd thing was there were no plates, cups, silverware, etc., even though there was a dishwasher).

The room included a large boardroom sized table with chairs, a living area with a couch and a few chairs with TV and built-in shelves with many books. The living area and the bedroom both overlooked a small but beautiful courtyard. You could enter it though the living area and it had a small table with chairs.

The staff was friendly and attentive when we needed something. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the French Quarter.

I was traveling on business and had my wife and 8 month old along for the trip. The Prince Conti was a nice hotel for what we were paying...very clean, good size rooms...just a little old. But hey, thats new orleans and part of its charm. If on business, I would stay there again.

I've stayed at the Prince Conti several times in the past after taking advantage of a low rate teaser I found at the Rest Stop on the InterState years ago. I was so pleased with the location, amenities and friendly staaf, that I don't even bother to look for other hotels in New Oreleans.
This time I was able to book a room during Jazz Fest and not feel ripped off by price spikes for a very popular weekend. My friends and I are ready to book again for next year.
