The Quarter House is fabulous
by TripAdvisor Member pigeonca
We stayed in a gorgeous 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. Although some of the amenities, like weekend breakfast, were cancelled, we understood that they were operating with less than a full staff (many establishments in N.O. are running with reduced crews). The people at the desk and the housekeeping staff were friendly and responsive. We would stay there again with pleasure.
A Gem in the French Quarter
by TripAdvisor Member borogirl
Just returned from a two week stay at The Quarter House and had a great time. We stayed in two different rooms 225 & 426 both 2 bed, 2 bath, washer machine, dryer, dishwasher, in fact just about everything to make your stay stress free.
The people on reception were very friendly, very helpful, quick to sort any problem.
The free breakfast on Saturday & Sunday had stopped since Katrina but I'm happy to say it started again on our first weekend there. I can recommend Mena's Palace across the road for breakfast on the other days of the week.
There was a cookery demo on Tuesday evenings. I ate so much we decided to skip dinner.
Breakfast is served in a courtyard at the back, it's lovely. This is where they have their pool, just big enough to have a dip to cool you off from the very hot weather.
I would not hesitate recommending the Quarter House to friends and would jump at the chance of going there again
Unbeatable location - a great choice

Our stay at the Quarter House was fabulous! Although a little nervous as we pulled into the area, the street is a little suspect upon first glance, but the Quarter House and the area is a perfect little gem! Quaint, European feel and delightful rooms. The bathrooms are spacious, including a jacuzzi tub - and for the person who reviewed the Quarter House and said it was dimly lit, the light switch is a dimmer so just needs to be turned higher. The king size bed is a pleasure, and there is plenty of cupboard spaces for clothes. The living area is more than comfortable with a nice layout, and a manageable kitchen area - even for us, as we stayed in a partial kitchen unit. New Orleans is Wi Fi free post Katrina in most of the tourist areas which is great if you are also on business or just want to email home. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone coming to the area. We are well travelled and stayed in many lovely resorts and hotel. The Quarter House is clean, convenient, and full of character. The city is as great as I remember, and it's a terrific time to come as obviously there are less tourists. Everything in the French Quarter is as it should be ... full of great music, great food, and great times. This city needs us. There are flags proudly flying that read " Rebuild. Renew. Rebirth".The locals are happy to be home, and more than happy to see and serve the tourists. A fabulous destination and an incredible property.
New Orleans after Katrina

Condotel Quarter House in French Quarter New Orleans.
I just came back from New Orleans last month, a week before the mayorial elections.
I stayed at Quarter House. The location is superb, right in the French Quarter (Vieuw Carre), everything within walking distance.
Quarter House is a condo, run as a hotel.
I was staying as a guest of a friend, but rooms are $175 for one bedroom aprtment,
$275 for 2 BR. Apartments are equipped with kitchens with everything but an oven, but I was not about to cook on holiday.
I did find it useful not to have to go out for every meal and could have snacks in the room for supper or breakfast. Fresh fruits provided at reception desk. Ice in refrigerator/freezer extremely appreciated in hot New Orleans, for making iced coffee in room.
Would be good for families. I was in a 2 BR. Housekeeping provided.
During my stay there was a leak in the bathroom. I reported it and it was promptly fixed.
All the people of New Orleans have been affected by Hurricane Katrina, including management of this condotel, but I would go again.
top five new orleans hotel

my wife and i have been to new orleans a few times, and by far we enjoyed our stay at the quarter house more than any other accomodations. it is a little expensive, but you get terrific location (a block away from bourbon street and two blocks off of canal...why is this important? stagger, fall, stagger, fall), security (sounds like not much, but you ARE in new orleans), quality furnishings and surroundings, a nice size room (again, doesn't sound like much, but new orleans is a little cramped). new orleans is no place for a family vacation (at least not the french quarter). i understand the new orleans fairgrounds is back in live horse racing business beginning thanksgiving 2006 (the quarter horse season). the hotels and businesses in the french quarter, i am told, are back up and running pretty well. my wife and i are planning to go visit in a few months, and we are planning to tour the STILL remaining destruction and overall mess that remains in the lower income residential areas (i think i said that nicely). if you get a chance to visit new orleans and have the money to afford something more than a hotel room, consider the quarter house property. be selective, though, as there are tons of places to stay in new orleans. i just like to stay fairly close to canal street and not too far off the beaten path.

The Quarter House is an elegant condominium resort. You will enjoy it very much.
Some good restaurants nearby include the famous Antoine's and Brennan's
You will have a ball.
