Meinungen FAIRCHILD HOUSE New Orleans

Stayed there the week of Mardi Gras this year and would highly recommend it. Beautiful room, friendly hosts and a great location

My husband and I stayed at the Fairchild House in February and had a wonderful time. After 10+ years of staying in Airbnb's, we decided to pivot back to traditional B&Bs, after agreeing that Airbnbs have become over-priced and lost the personalized charm that they once had when the company first started. Thankfully we found all the charm, hospitality & local touches that we were looking for at the Fairchild House!

The building itself is a huge, stunning, historic home in the heart of NOLA's Garden District. After exploring the city for a weekend, we agreed that the Garden District is the best neighbourhood in the city; even better than the French Quarter! You can spend hours strolling through the tree lined streets, admiring the historic, well-preserved homes and having a meal or a drink at some local spots. Our bedroom was modest, but very comfortable with a private bathroom. It was well-priced and exactly what we were looking for. The breakfast was a highlight! The dining room is spacious and well-lit and there are tons of food options to choose from. On the weekend, we were treated to homemade waffles & crepes from Beatrice and Darrell. All the staff at Fairchild House were absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to chat with.

I would 100% recommend Fairchild House to anyone looking to visit NOLA and enjoy a local experience in a historic home. I would not recommend it to someone who prefers to stay in sterile hotels and watch TV all day; that's what the Hilton is for!

Thank you to Beatrice, Darrell, Ross and the cleaning staff for making our stay at the Fairchild House comfortable and a highlight of our trip to NOLA!

I have never stayed at a place with such exceptional service, and such a beautiful building! The beds were amazing, and I slept better than I have in years! So much more great things to say, but still on my trip, so I will update later. Excellent experience and location!

What a lovely place to stay! It took me longer than usual to decide on my accomodation in NOLA. I wanted to be close to the French Quarter as I love to explore cities on foot. There are several hostels and hotels in that area, some of them even for a reasonable price - but they all charged at least an additional $25 for a parking lot/day which I was not willing to pay. So when I found this little B&B and saw that they offer a gated parking lot and are in walking distance to most highlights in town for an acceptable price I took my chances and was not disappointed. I love old buildings with high ceilings, and this B&B is from ca 1841. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was great and there's a nice backyard to hang out. Staff was fantastic and truly, this is one of the few hotels in the US where I wouldn't mind to stay for more then two nights. Trust Google Maps to guide you as there is no fancy sign showing you that you ended up at the right place ????

Excellent communication and customer service from check-in staff. Days before our arrival I received a text asking about arrival time. I was unsure since we were driving but I knew it would be 9 or later. We ran into a lot of road delays that pushed us to a midnight check in, well past their 10pm closing time. The staff was incredibly understanding and accommodating.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the bed was very uncomfortable causing us sore backs the next day. The breakfast was very disappointing, bagels, cereal, toast and sour milk with nothing freshly cooked. We will opt for hotels in the future!

Was disappointed with the quality of the room. The maintenance performed was sub par as well as the furnishings. Room was nothing like it looked online. TV was smaller than a computer monitor. No microwave.

When I booked a “bed and breakfast”, I expected a comfortable bed and an impressive breakfast; I got neither. The bed was so hard that neither of us got a good nights sleep. And the breakfast during the week is “not hot” meaning cereal, yogurt, fruit, boiled eggs. On the weekend it wasn’t much better. We ate breakfast elsewhere or just skipped it.

Nice location and we felt safe the entire time. Nice and quiet. Staff was friendly and attentive. Fenced in parking was nice. Lots of restaurants with in walking distance. Recommend Uber to go east into the city. Lots of questionable characters live under the bridge just east of here. The trolley gets crowded quick; coming back on the trolley you had to get on at the first stop on Canal St.

We had an amazing experience. Staff was super helpful and seemed to really be passionate about their location. We had a balcony room and it was good sized and reasonably priced.

We had a wonderful stay here. It's a very characterful charismatic b&b. Not for everyone l suspect, if your looking for a modern impersonal hotel standard, then this hotel isn't for you, but if you want a taste of real southern colonial style and grace, quirky and historical, friendly and peacefull then you can't beat this hotel. Staff are wonderful, rooms are comfortable and cute. You can almost hear the voices of the past and the history of New Orleans shouting from the walls. Thank you. We will be back. Watch out for the Margaritas at Luckys bar. ???? They will leave you with no cloths on !!!

It is a super safe, super quaint bed and breakfast one block from a street car stop. Darrell, and Andrea we so kind, friendly, and helpful. It was a wonderful home away from home. You will not regret staying here!

Daryl was very helpful the place was close to the train station. It was very comfortable will be going back.

My kind of place. Old school look while also cozy and simple. Had everything I needed (AC, bathroom, shower, cozy bed, coffee maker, fridge, tv). I never intend to spend all day in my room and sleep and quick stop ins. The grounds themselves are beautiful with character throughout the entire property. Breakfast daily, private parking, patio area and more all within walking distance of literally everything. I went and visited every district in New Orleans from the hotel by just walking. Really enjoyed my stay here. Staff was very friendly, attentive and kind.

The service and team at the hotel were fantastic. The room we stayed in was in need of some repairs. We didn't ask for a change of rooms. Very close to the WWII museum and to the green line and other local transportion. Overall very fair visit.

Nice staff, old rooms a bit dated, good location

I really enjoyed my stay at Fairchilds, Darrell is amazing to all of the guest and it is convenient to get around the city. If you get room 9, expect to have to cell or wifi service.

They would’ve received five stars, however, I am unpacking my Urban South Brewery bag now that I am home (8hrs away) and realize that two of my IPA beers have been removed from my bag. While I have made several attempts to contact the property and receive no answer to discuss the situation, I am beyond disgusted that the housekeeping staff would think it is remotely okay to steal from the guest and think we would not notice. I guess I should be thankful that it was beers and not my electronics that were stolen. I really wish I could make this up, I am beyond disgusted and disappointed!

amazing experience ! very clean and quiet and was like a 2 minute walk to the street car. ross made our stay fantastic and they were very accommodating !! stay here if you get the chance and it’s fantastic !

My review never posted publicly so I'm reposting as this place deserves 5 stars. We stayed here for our anniversary in November. Absolutely beautiful, well kept up building. Why stay in a modern hotel when you can stay at this gem for around the same price? Our stay was incredible. It's so peaceful and quiet! It may have been the best sleep I ever had. The staff are so friendly and amazing. Loved Beatrice and everyone, everyone was so kind. The rooms were very clean and roomservice did an excellent job freshening up our room during the duration of our 3 day stay. They even provided a hair dryer in the bathroom, which is super appreciated! Also really appreciated the secure parking lot to leave our truck in all weekend during our stay while we took Ubers and the trolley everywhere. I'm not going to take away a star because we absolutely adored the place, but one minor criticism is the hot water situation. The water bounced from hot to cold quite a bit. The pros way outweigh that one con though! The lower garden district the bed and breakfast is located in is within walking distance to to nearly everything! It's in such a beautiful location. I would definitely stay here again on our next visit to New Orleans!

We are staying for the Saint Patrick festival, the place was close to the parade area, its located in a centric area. Darryl was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was okay, had egg casserole, sausages, pancakes, cereal, coffee, juices and beagles. Also has parking.

Beautifully taken care of property. Extremely kind staff near trolly and very walkable. Can't say enough good things

Nice bed and breakfast close to bourbon st,and trolley

Great location. It felt really safe and it was so close to the St. Charles streetcar. We really loved the room and the property. The room was spacious, with high ceilings, and our own kitchenette. The staff was super helpful and very polite. If we come back to New Orleans this will be our first choice!
