Loved it! Must go back soon!
My stay was one of those amazing experiences I may never forget. The room was large, clean, and beautiful. The bar downstairs was friendly and welcoming. Even if I didn't venture out, it would have been a great experience. Yet I did, and so much food and music was within a short walk up the street to Frenchmen St., and of course on Royal St.

Our stay at the Royal Street Inn and R Bar was note-perfect! After a long afternoon of traveling, we were greeted by staff at the bar who immediately put us at ease and quickly showed us to our cozy and eclectic room. Everything about the location and ambiance was optimal. Our only regret was that we could not stay another night! Highly recommend this incredibly charming place.

Fun and funky stay!
Awesome room. Comfortable bed, seating area, balcony (shared) right outside our front door. Nespresso coffe. Nice, spacious room with a sexy feel. Extras of Sonos speaker and Spotify were nice. We used the rain playlist to drown out the extended party noise and slept so well! The shower pressure is low, but didn’t bother us at all. Nice products and double shower head. We loved it and would definitely return!

We loved our stay here! We stayed in the La Sirena suite which is at the very top of the building. Below I list some 'cons' but they weren't really cons - more of considerations for those who might be sensitive to certain factors.
Pros:
- Excellent location - relatively chill block but close to so much.
- R Bar on the ground floor is a great no frills neighborhood bar with mix of locals and tourists. Lively but not overly crowded, superb staff, and old school movies playing on the big screen.
- Very stylish suite, clean, good amenities. They had jazz playing in the room to welcome us plus two drink tokens.
Cons
- our suite was on the very top floor and the stairs are steep and narrow. Fine for us, but maybe a concern if you have mobility issues.
- the top floor suite also is a converted attic, so the ceilings are slanted on the sides. Again, fine for us and actually quite charming, but if you're very tall and need a lot of space, this might not be so convenient.
- While the noise from the bar was never an issue for us (again, top floor so we were a little removed), if you're sensitive to sound, you may want to find somewhere else that is not directly above a bar.
Would definitely stay here again.

I booked this place for a bday trip and wanted to love it. And there were many things to like about it—the location was walking distance to the FQ and close to Frenchmen, the bar was great, the room was unique and provided a nice home base for my trip.
Based on the photos on Expedia, however, I didn’t gather that the room I was reserving would be on the first floor/street level. Or that it would have two doors directly opening to the sidewalk surrounding the bar (no windows). I did enough research to know it was likely I’d be staying somewhere loud if I stayed near the FQ or Frenchmen but I didn’t know I’d be staying on the street level here and the noise made it impossible to get any sleep, even with the sound machine the inn provides. It wasn’t the bar music that bothered me. It was the sound of people talking directly outside the room, the sounds of the bar being closed down for the night (trash being taken out, bottles clanking, etc.) until 3:30-4:30 AM, and then the trash trucks coming by in the early AM. I imagine the sound buffer would be a lot better in the rooms in the upper levels so I do not mean to dissuade anyone from staying here—this is a nice inn and I would probably consider staying here myself again if I could get a room upstairs.
I didn’t come to New Orleans to rest but staying in the Marigny Suite on the street level made it impossible to get the sleep necessary to make it through sightseeing and exploring, given the noise levels directly outside the room.

The room and the area was amazing! You’re a short walk to the French Quarters and there’s an amazing bar downstairs as well. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to New Orleans.

GREAT space and we will return
Our stay at R Street Inn was AMAZING! The staff was welcoming upon arrival and did a wonderful job of assisting us even when our room wasn’t ready by giving us a great recommendation for a local restaurant and allowing us to store our bags. Upon return they were so helpful with bags up to our room. The room has a Sonos sound system in the bathroom AND the main space, cool red lighting and a great coffee maker. Will DEFINITELY stay here again.

Unprofessional Owner!
Our stay was great except for one incident.
We had the top room and couldn’t hear any sounds from the bar below. The staff was extremely welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, and the room was clean and very romantic. Extremely cool place to stay!
The only issue is when we were awoken one morning by someone blaring loud music from the room below us. After knocking on the floor didn’t work, I followed the racket downstairs and knocked on the door to ask the man to please keep the noise down. The guy ultimately complied but had the huevos, HUEVOS I tell you, to school me in the fact that I should’ve knocked on the door first instead of the floor (which he had heard but ignored) because it’s better for the old building. Well, it turned out that he was one of the hotel OWNERS staying in the room below us! Can you believe it?
So, I’d still recommend staying here, but be on the lookout for an inconsiderate little man, who looks like George Liquor (Google it), who would rather park his kid in front of a blaring TV, waking up paying guests on a Sunday morning, in New Orleans of all places, rather than actually interacting with the kid quietly like any decent human being would.
Staggeringly unprofessional!

I loved the property from first sight! If you are looking for a hotel expereince you won't find it here. But you'll find property owners who are on site, incredibly friendly and helpful, and the best neighborhood in New Orleans! The area is very safe, one block from Frenchmen so close to the action but quiet enough for sleep. I've been to NOLA at least once a year for 20 years and this is my go-to place from now on.
