Auld Sweet Olive Bed and Breakfast

Funky, artsy neighborhood within walking distance to French Quarter and Frenchmen St. Music and food are everywhere. Great staff. If you’re a Westin/Marriot type of person it’s not the place. Take a chance on this place. Wonderful B&B.

Beautiful property. Staff was very accommodating. Expedia didn't notify them about our same day booking, but they were very friendly and got a room ready in short order. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend.

I normally do not rate places 10 - but this one has earned it. It is so beautiful, there is so much love and effort put to detail.. We really enjoyed being there one rainy afternoon. it feels like home away from home so quickly. The whole family is so committed to do the maximum for their guests, and the breakfast is outstanding in quality. We can and will recommend Kate's place to everyone planning to go to New Orleans.

Bring your earplugs, the old building has very thin walls and you can follow a conversation from your neighbor. Our fellow guests were respectful and tried to be quiet in the evenings and early mornings - but I think this is not always the case.

Breakfast was lovely. Kate, Steve and Laura were exceptional hosts. I felt very at home and well taken care of. Location was excellent.

It was perfect!

Oh my gosh, we love this place! Kate, the innkeeper, is an absolute sweetheart, and so helpful with recommendations, etc. The breakfasts are terrific, the pool is relaxing, and we are excited to make this our NOLA home away from home in the future. Highly recommend!

This is a really lovely bed and breakfast, with really nice amenities, including an in-ground pool and patio area. And I should point out that there is a daily breakfast included that goes beyond just cereal and pastries, there were egg dishes served while we were there. We got the Palmetto room which includes a private bathroom -- not sure if all rooms include that so make sure to check. The bathroom has a completely restored claw foot tub and old time shower attachment making it quite elegant. We were there over Halloween and the place remained quiet during sleeping hours despite being booked. You are ten minutes walk from the Frenchman neighborhood and there is a coffee house right around the corner as well. One of our favorite brunch spots, Horn's, is a walk away as well. The host is very responsive and quickly communicated by text when we had questions, including suggestions for places to drink and eat.

While the tub is beautiful, it is a little slippery so be careful getting in and out. The shower water wavered from heavy to light flow, but was adequate for taking a shower, just a little slower

We loved Auld Sweet Olive! The house was beautiful and comfortable and our room was great. It's located in the Faubourg Marigny District which is just next to the French District but quieter and safer. We could walk to the French District or take the little street car that was three blocks away and ran across the top of the French District and could be used to go to the Garden District. There were great restaurants just a block or two away. The St. Roch Market is a real gem - 12 vendors and a little bar in an old farmers' market. Everything we had there was fantastic and it was very handy if we were out and missed dinner or needed to grab a quick bit of lunch. Who Dat Coffee is a block away in the other direction and you have to have breakfast there at least once, even though breakfast at Sweet Olive is very good. Kate, the inn keeper, is highly competent, a great cook, and tons of fun. We felt like we had a new friend by the time we left. We stayed in the Palmento Room. It was very cutely decorated and comfortable with a convenient door to the very pleasant outside pool area. The only down side for us was that the adorable antique bathtub was a bit scary for older people in their 70s like we are. However, each room is different and many have showers that would be better for old people, so it's an easy to solve problem if you know in advance what you need and can specify that. We loved the Auld Sweet Olive and Kate and highly recommend it.

We had wonderful days in the Auld Sweet Olive. It is the perfect starting point to discover New Orleans. Quiet, relaxed and family-run. Every morning there was a different delicious breakfast and the pool was refreshing on hot days. Everyone was very friendly and I would come back to the B&B anytime if I were back in New Orleans.

Nothing!

Of how beautiful it was and it felt warm and safe.

The breakfast was delicious. The view from our upstairs room was amazing

Room, home, pool area, customer service, and breakfast were all amazing! Kate, the caretaker, was great! Highly recommend and will return to stay again!
