Reviews and Ratings
While the hotel has a great location near the Garden District and offers friendly staff, the cleanliness is a serious concern, with issues like dirty floors and cockroaches. The historic charm of the place is overshadowed by its lack of thorough cleaning. Overall, it feels like it has potential but needs significant attention to become a truly welcoming place.
I had a really frustrating experience with my reservation, as I had booked a hostel lodging but they changed it to a private room at the last minute, which was much more expensive. The staff was pleasant during the process, but the sudden increase in price was really disappointing. It's a shame because I used to enjoy staying here, but now they seem to be phasing out the hostel aspect altogether.
I had an unbelievable stay at this hotel! From the pleasant check-in experience to enjoying breakfast in bed, everything exceeded my expectations. The grounds are stunning and well-kept, allowing for relaxation in beautiful areas with comfy seating. The attentive staff members made me feel so welcomed and cared for. Dining at the San Lorenzo restaurant was a highlight, with fantastic food and ambiance. However, I wish I could have explored more of the surrounding area during my short stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at Hotel St. Vincent! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcomed. The location is perfect for exploring the Garden District and just a quick Uber ride to the French Quarter. However, if you’re used to more modern accommodations, this place might not meet your expectations.
I had an incredible experience at Hotel Saint Vincent! The staff made my wedding unforgettable, going above and beyond in every aspect.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The friendly and attentive staff really made a difference in my experience, and the amenities were top-notch.

Overall, this place is a gem for families or anyone looking to relax in comfort.
The hotel had a charming ambiance, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—particularly during our wedding event. However, there were some drawbacks, such as a lack of cleanliness and limited attention to certain details that would have enhanced our experience. Still, we were truly grateful for the personal touch we received from the staff, which made our special day memorable.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The accommodations were charming and stylish, with an inviting southern mansion vibe. Although there was a hiccup with the service at check-in, the rest of the staff truly made our stay enjoyable. The location is perfect, just a short ride from the vibrant French Quarter, but it can get quite hot during the summer. All in all, it’s a cozy and family-friendly choice, but I would recommend visiting in the cooler months.
Staying at the hotel was an intriguing experience, with its unique decor rooted in its history as a former nunnery. The location is peaceful, tucked away behind a lush garden. The rooms are well appointed, although the bathroom could use some more counter space. The service was attentive, but the absence of dedicated bell staff was a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was a delightful stay with a few quirks worth noting.
This hotel offers a unique experience with a charming location on a quieter part of Magazine Street. While my room was nice, it felt a bit dark at night. I loved the pool and the restaurants on-site, especially Elizabeth's, but the noise from neighboring dogs was a minor downside. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely return.
I had a truly mixed experience at this hotel. While the exterior and lobby have impressive character, the interior needs significant attention. My room was lacking essential amenities and the cleanliness was not up to par. The unique haunted atmosphere adds a strange twist, which could be intriguing for some. However, the price felt too high for the conditions we encountered.
I had an amazing experience staying at this hotel, especially since I celebrated my wedding there! The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, making the whole occasion unforgettable. The rooms were great, but I did notice some areas that could benefit from a little sprucing up. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for any event, but if you’re looking for a polished appearance, you might want to manage your expectations.
My stay at the hotel had some highs and lows. On the positive side, the staff provided standout service, especially during our large event. The hotel's design is captivating, and the food was delightful. However, I did encounter some service hiccups upon checking in and cleanliness issues in the bathroom that left much to be desired.
