I've stayed at Sweet Olive twice--what attracts me is the ambiance--welcoming and just a little quirky in terms of the eclectic decor, which is flavored with elements of Mardi Gras. Think of an aging grande dame adorned in all her finery. There's definitely a sense of place, and Sweet Olive welcomes you to New Orleans--if you look at the photos... More

My husband and I stayed at the Sweet Auld Olive last week for 5 nights as part of our Deep South honeymoon tour. New Orleans was our last stop and we're so glad we stayed here. We had decided early on in our plans not to stay in The French Quarter due to noise levels and reports that it can... More

Very peaceful abode, slept really well here. Breakfast was yummy, owners helpful and friendly. Great location. There's an organic supermarket across the road if you need to replenish your supplies. Not sure if cooking is actually allowed, but there's a huge kitchen in the property. There is a large bathtub in the shared bathroom, didnt get to use it but... More

I will begin by saying that David, Dale and Clara were great hosts. They told us to treat the house like it was our home. We chose the honeymoon suite which is by far the largest room they rent. It has its own kitchen area and an entrance through the main house or a private entrance through the courtyard, which... More

This Inn is an ok place to stay, I might stay there again one day. It would benefit greatly from more TLC and an increased presence and involvment of the owners. And for crying out loud: replace those broken down great room furniture, they are fit for donation ....

Where to begin !? Auld Sweet Olive is a very comfortable, very laid-back yet professional establishment. I was going to take a week long vacation in Houston in July 2011, and due to the sudden death of a close cousin, I needed to change my location and dates to New Orleans (where I am from). I immediately thought about trying... More

Just recently had a delightful stay at the Auld Sweet Olive B&B; this was my second trip to NO and first ever stay at a B&B and I felt that New Orleans would be the perfect city to give it a try. The Auld Sweet Olive was as unique, charming, friendly and quirky as New Orleans and added quite a... More

We stayed in Auld Sweet Olive last November 2011, 3 days in Plantation Room. The atmosphere is unique, everyday we found, among others, excellent homemade muffins for breakfast, the place is very near from French Quarter (10 minutes walk) and is located in a very quiet neighborhood. It was supposed we were in the more noisy room because we were... More

This was my first visit to NO, having travelled from Edinburgh, via a stay in Atlanta, we (Adrian, Rob and Kenny), were looking forward to a few days of indulgence. I was bowled over by how charming this B&B is. It was a treasure trove of 'nik-naks', objects and pictures, all set in a very unique neighbourhood. The entrance hall... More

My wife and I finally had a weekend away for our anniversary without our little girl and wanted to relax in the Big Easy; its only an hour away but life doesn't afford the opportunity to get over as often as before being parents. We researched extensively to find a good B&B and decided on Sweet Olive after speaking to... More
