The Lafayette New Orleans By Kasa Living

The Lafayette was a great hotel. It was in the perfect area and we could walk to everything and there were many restaurants and things to do nearby. It was in the perfect part of town where you weren’t far from everything that you could walk, but it was also quiet. Loved our room, the amenities were good and the staff was great. Desi steakhouse, which is on the bottom floor of the hotel was a fantastic place to eat dinner. Also only a couple of blocks from the World War II museum, which was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

Best place to stay in New Orleans. Within walking distance to the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and the Mississippi River Walk. The Hop on Hop off bus and the Trolley are right across the street. Away from the hustle and bustle and right next to Lafayette park. Would recommend highly.

Nice room at a good location. French quarter is about a 20 min walk from here and there are good food options nearby. Close to both party options and museum options.

Everything was great! It was amazing how you got into your room! Did not have to keep up with key cards! Open air balcony! Valet was on point!

Wonderful hotel right in the middle of everything, beside Lafayette Park right on the St. Charles streetcar line. We had a double queen room that was beautiful and spacious and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The beds, pillows, and linens were all very comfy (and I'm super picky about bedding). There is no onsite parking but there's a parking garage a block away that you can reserve space in ahead of time (Poydras Center) and the hotel has a valet if you'd prefer not to bother with finding parking (there is a fee). The staff was warm, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend the Lafayette if you want to avoid a generic, "big-name" hotel. I would absolutely stay here again.

Front desk staff was amazing. Warm, friendly knowledgeable

I'll be fair. Our 4-nights stay at the Lafayette started on a good note. Room is big and clean, check-in process is smooth, and the texting service with the hotel is convenient. 5 stars. First sign of problem happened on day 3 when the cleaning staff entered our room against our explicit request of no cleaning, which the hotel staff agreed to. Down to 4 stars now. On this day (2/22/2026) the weather became unseasonably cool, and there was no heat available in the room. The temperature in the room dipped down to 64 F and it got too cold to sleep comfortably. Now only 3 stars. On the next day (2/23/2026) the city of New Orleans issued a boil water advisory early in the morning. My friends who were staying in different hotels in the same CBD neighborhood all got notified by their hotel staffs to take precaution, but I received no word from the Lafayette despite the texting service. This is really unacceptable. We're at 2 stars now. Upon checkout on the last day, I texted with the hotel staff to complain about their failure to warn us about the boil water advisory and look out for our health and safety. The hotel's response went from pleading ignorance about the advisory to gaslighting me that the hotel wasn't in the advisory zone. Now we're in rock bottom, bona fide one-star territory. Don't just take my word. Look at the receipts. Avoid this hotel.

This location was PERFECT. Walking distance to Bourbon Street, Canal Street, Sazerac House, and most attractions. It was walkable to Jackson Square, but we chose to get ubers which were about $10 from Kasa. This hotel is in an incredibly safe area and directly next to the court house and Mardi Gras parade route. Check in was easy and the staff was friendly. The front desk was always accessible, they held my luggage for a later flight time and overall very accommodating. I had such a wonderful experience I extended my stay. I will happily stay here again and recommend this to any person visiting New Orleans. The rooms were spacious and clean. They offered complimentary water and cookies upon arrival. Bathrooms were also spacious, clean, and modern.

It was great place to stay. Easy check in and out. Also great location not too far from everything I needed and especially plenty hot water in shower (but one thing needed was hand soap bar)

Location was great to get anywhere we wanted to go. Loved the vibe of the place as it seemed more “NOLA-style” than the big name hotel we transferred from after our sports tournament ended. Bianca was great at the front desk when we checked in. Rooms were great size and clean with a large bathroom. A much better value from the big name hotel where we could only get one bed for almost three times the cost. Loved having the balcony and ability to open the door to let fresh air in. No issues with noise even though we were right off the elevator. The vending machines were nice for drinks and snacks as needed. We would definitely stay here again.
