Excellent service and location
The front desk lady was attentive and so friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location with a streetcar about a block away which took you right to French Quarter for a buck. Very quiet at night time since it was a little away from the start of French Quarter and lots of regular and fast food restaurants within two blocks around it. Lovely stay.

Stay at Historic Streetcar Inn, NOLA
It was a very enjoyable stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom looked brand new. The location is great for getting around NOLA. Streetcar stop right in front of hotel. Diane at the front desk was wonderful and very helpful. She deserves 5 stars!

The receptionist was extremely helpful. The trolley stop right outside the hotel was the way to get to and from the French Quarter. Big room with a tall ceiling and comfy bed. Would surely stay here again.

A beautifully renovated historic property!
We stayed here while In New Orleans for a weekend trip. It is an absolutely beautiful property. We loved our balcony room. It was huge and very clean and we could walk right out of our room onto the street. We loved that it was literally right in front of one of the Stops for the St Charles Street car. We used that to get around the French quarter area. Communication from the property was great as well. There is street noise but they provided a white noise machine. We will absolutely stay here again when we come to town!!

In general we enjoyed the hotel. The only downfall was the bed sagged in the middle. The amenities and the cleanliness were great. The location was right on the streetcar line, so we hardly had to drive our car.

No secure parking, but plenty to do within walking distance. Clean room, much better than 5 years ago. Staff also much better, as the lady at check-on is extremely helpful and friendly.

Halloween
The Streetcar in was good for just a one night stay. The rate was good for NOLA. The room was a bit small and wanky but with it being old that is just part of the charm. It is a bit of distance from town so get your walking shoes on as the cable car isn't always convenient, full or on time.

Tulane Parents/Homecoming Weekend
Was what we were expecting for the most part. Wish we could have gotten additional towels with a charge.
Diane at check in is great.
Location was convenient between downtown and Tulane, with street car stop right out front.
I would probably not stay there again, but it was by no means terrible. Just a few places we have stayed before, that were booked, that we like better.

I had never stayed anywhere with no staff on the premises but it worked out well. I did have a problem with the tv and there was no one to help me solve the problem.

Beautiful but no elevator or breakfast
Beautifully renovated old home - only downside was rooms were on second floor and no elevator for luggage but Diane agreed to hold the luggage and I only took what I needed for my brief overnight stay up the stairs. She was very helpful! However listing said breakfast was provided but only coffee/tea were available.

Love the historic atmosphere and the tram stop just across the road.
Didn't like that there was no one there to talk to, even someone there for an hour or two at set times would have been better.
I was lucky when I checked in as there was someone there and she was very helpful otherwise I would have been in a room upstairs with no lift and as a 70 year old I would really have struggled with my luggage.

I didn’t like the digital key to get into the rooms and the front door. Also they didn’t have early check in so we had to wait until 4 pm and we got off the cruise ship at 10 am

Oh man. The room that Historic Streetcar Inn put me in smelled like mold and I found a slug in the bathroom the last day. The only thing good about this room was the bed which was 10/10 comfy.
