Wife and I fully enjoyed our stay at Villa Convento for our honeymoon in April. We had no desire to stay at the typical hotel that's perfect to a fault: no charm, no character, all cookie-cutter. You don't get that with Villa Convento. Granted, we stayed in a suite, but if the other rooms are anything like that one, I... More

Just came back from our stay at the Hotel Villa Convento. Well what can I say, yes it needs a good cleaning, and paint job...after a couple days, you get over it. It has such character, and its just steps from everything French Quarter, no need for taxis. We were giving one room(105) and stayed for two days, until we... More

Loved this place. The staff was very attentive, and happy to accomodate our requests. If you are looking for a traditional hotel, this isn't for you. If you want a true New Orleans experience, this is definitely the place. You can find a Westin or Marriott anywhere, but this is unique. Will definitely stay here again.

We were looking forward to staying at a quaint family run hotel but we couldn't have been more disappointed. My friend arrived the day before I did and was offered room 104 off of the courtyard, instead of the 2nd floor room that we were originally suppose to stay in. Since this seemed reasonable, she agreed. What a disaster!! It... More

My first stay in this little gem. Yes there are some very simple things that can be done to update and give this little hotel an excellent rating but not matter, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! If you are looking for the big chain type hotels this is not the place for you. We wanted something very... More

I have stayed here several times over the years, but my most recent visit 2 weeks ago I will always remember. After driving 5 hours from Shreveport, I arrived to check in and my wallet was missing! We had to drive back to Breaux Bridge to get it-and that was after I cancelled our credit cards. My bank was to... More

Last week was my third stay at the Hotel Villa Convento and am looking forward to returning. As I have said in previous reviews, this hotel is not for everyone. You will either love it or hate it. Here are the pluses (and they far outway the minuses): 1. Located on a very quiet street near the edge of the... More

I love this place we stayed there last year for Easter and did the same this year. If you love old New Orleans then you will love this, we had room 300 which is a balcony room even though it was small who cares the bed was great and part of the walls was the original brick. It is only... More

It was New Year's Day, and friends were staying here. I was driving in for the night, and they were able to get me a room. The staff was accomodating for me on only staying one night (they had a two-night minimum usually). But the room - which opened into a courtyard - was just above awful. Old, been a... More

I was a little hesitant of staying here, reserving at the last minute for St. Patrick's Day weekend. When i arrived i was surprised to see how many "foo-foo uppity rich women" (as my husband put it) demanding the woman at the front desk's attention. As my husband reasoned "if they are staying here, then it cant be that bad".... More
