We received a personal phone call from Matthew inviting us to check in early around noon which was a nice surprise. Upon showing up, he sat us down to get a sense of what we wanted to do in town and where we've been. Matthew provided excellent recommendations of local spots we should be checking out. He never lead us astray. Breakfast each morning was a joy as we talked with Melanie and Matthew along with other guests about our experiences around town over a locally sourced spread of tasty treats. We stayed in the Les Pêches suite. The room was very comfortable and the balcony was a nice place to watch the neighborhood go by. Neighborhood is quiet but also great to walk around and explore. I can't recommend La Belle Esplanade enough. You won't be disappointed.

We stayed here a couple weeks ago - the price was fantastic (~100$ a night), especially for the…read morelocation. The location is a *huge* selling point - it is legitimately just a couple blocks from Frenchmen street, and only a few blocks walk to the edge of the French Quarter (or, if you want to get quickly to the far side of the French Quarter or beyond, also only 3 short blocks to the new streetcar line that just opened). Couldn't be happier about the location. The hosts were also *so* friendly. It was so small (only 3 rooms), that it really felt less like a B&B, more like a well-run airbnb. They were always around if you needed anything, but not in a weird way. We actually ran into one of them at a breakfast place around the corner one day, and it wasn't awkward at all; we chatted for a bit. They're pretty cool people.. The place itself is... old. Another reason it feels more like an airbnb - it really feels like you're staying in an "authentic" New Orleanian house, by which I mean, it feels pretty old. Not falling apart old, but like, the bathtub must have been a hundred years old, and I was a *tiny* bit concerned the toilet was going to fall into a sinkhole (the floor in the bathroom was noticeably not flat). It was also quite dusty when we got in, we both developed allergies. After the first night, I mentioned it to them and they made sure the maid (who sounds like comes once a week) dusted our room extra-thoroughly, and our allergies got a lot better. They also gave us a card with a few bucks on it to use on public transportation by way of apology, which I was totally not expecting, so that was nice of them. I also have to mention, while we were there, the internet was kinda unreliable (again like staying at a person's house; ours does that too, so I can't totally fault them.) Sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was unusably slow: maybe for a minute, maybe for an hour. (edit: I have been subsequently informed, by them, that they noticed it that week too, and have never seen that happen ever again. We were just lucky, I guess, assuming you trust them, which I do.) Bed was comfortable, and I'm glad we *had* a desk, though it was a small one, so we were always fighting over who got to use it. All in all, though, I'd *totally* stay here again, for that price.

During that short time, we discovered a historic city with long traditions of great music, outstanding food & continuing perseverance. The 1st order of business for our visit was lodging. As usual, I was seeking the impossible: fabulous accommodations near the French Quarter for cheap. Having read some sterling reviews of high praise for La Dauphine scattered amongst a few travel websites, I figured it was worth a shot, plus the price was right. I booked well in advance & Ray (1 of the hosts) was periodically in touch with helpful reminders & pointers even before our arrival. Ray & Kim were gracious hosts. Ray has an extensive knowledge of New Orleans & was very helpful with numerous tips & suggestions. La Dauphine is conveniently located just a short walk from Frenchmen Street & the French Quarter. There is only street parking available & the streets are usually pretty full of parked cars already. Because of the location, though, we didn't bother renting a car so parking wasn't an issue. La Dauphine is in a classic, old New Orleans home originally constructed before electricity. Of course, it's been upgraded with modern amenities like electricity, central HVAC, cable tv & even free Wi-Fi, but it retains the feel of 19th Century New Orleans. The common area of the house has a large collection of books & movies for guests to use. Guests have access to an iMac with internet & printer, as well as a small fridge for storing goodies or leftovers. Some toiletries, painkillers, antacids & a few other necessities are also on hand if needed. A simple continental breakfast of toast, cereals, fruit, OJ & coffee is available every morning. We stayed in the Matisse Suite which has an attached bathroom. The room was mixed bag for the girlfriend & I. The mattress on the bed was very firm, which was fine for the girlfriend but not so great for me. The room was very cluttered with various antiques, trinkets & other kitsch. I was totally OK with it, but it bothered the girlfriend. She also felt the room was dusty & pointed out a cobweb. The walls between rooms are very thin & it was easy to hear almost every noise in the next room. The water temperature for the shower takes finesse to get right, otherwise it was sometimes much too hot or much too cold. La Dauphine is an economical B&B in a great location in New Orleans run by very inviting, knowledgeable & helpful hosts. The place certainly has its eccentricities & it's definitely not 5 star, but it is charming in its own way. Despite some shortcomings, I personally liked the "flavor" of La Dauphine & thought it added to the overall experience of our visit.

The people who manage this place are very friendly and helpful when it comes to just about anything. The place itself is very cute, we stayed in the Bordello room which actually has two entrances to the room, a plus in my opinion. This had one queen size bed and a private bath. The decor is very french quarter style antique, and the room very clean and comfortable. Its a couple of blocks from the french quarter, passing by many restaurants, bars, and cafes that the locals tend to frequent on the way. The room was $89 per night including taxes. Very reasonable. Cute place, will definitely go back.

My room was clean and comfortable and had a lovely character. I stayed right at the end of March and checked out just prior to the start of Mardi Gras weekend. I had booked last minute and so I had a delay in checking in when I arrived to find the front office closed. A quick call to the number listed connected me with Gary, who is very kind and accommodating (and who I was grateful to have additional conversation with before my state was over). Gary explains that they were short-staffed and it would take a few minutes for him to walk from one of their other properties. As the location was safe and well lit, I had no problem taking a seat and enjoying the sounds of the French Quarter while I waited. Check-in was quick and I was excited to find that my room was just off the street -- literally my doors and windows were inches from the sidewalk. Now I know what you're thinking, that sounds like it could be loud with walking tours, roaming the streets at night and tourists walking after an evening of libations. In truth, I hired plenty of conversations pass by the front of my room, but they almost all ended before it got too late, and I had really fantastic sleep in my very comfy bed. If you are a very light sleeper, then I genuinely believe that the room I stayed in would not at all be for you, but I really enjoyed it as someone who doesn't mind a little bit of City sounds to lull me to sleep. The room had plenty of other basic amenities and the bathroom was bright and spacious. I even enjoyed a bath a couple of nights in a row! The price was very fair, the location was excellent, the historical character was great, and it even looked like there was a food delivery/room service option available that I did not take advantage of. If I could give this place any critique, it would be that I would have loved to have had a little mini fridge to store leftovers and save a few bucks on food. Otherwise my stay was perfect!
