The Brakeman Hotel

Very unique railroad decor that is fresh. Cemetery tours and bus tours available in first floor lobby.

Power went out on last morning of our stay. Cafe opens at 830am which is late for early risers. Closes mid afternoon.

This is a hidden gem!! Staff was excellent, great location, and charming facility!

Beautiful and spacious room. Very clean and the hotel was in a great location. Front desk staff was excellent. The hotel isn't huge, so expect a smaller staff and a unique boutique hotel experience.

The hotel was very quiet, but the 5am dumpster collection was near our room. Otherwise it was excellent.

Location and staff were great

Wasn’t able to stay an additional few days in New Orleans

Excellent service at reception, comfy beds, and really interesting the hotel is situated inside a historic train station.

Elevators are a bit out-dated, but other than that, everything was great!

Great locationGood valueStaff was fantasticComfortable bedOnsite tourist activitiesOnsite cafeStaff was friendly, helpful, and professional

Everything was superb

The beds were okay for a hotel. The pillows were very small.

The bathroom was very disgusting. The shower hadn’t been cleaned in awhile as there was dirt on the walls, the shower floor was black and there was black straight, course hair everywhere. The carpet was musty, not vacuumed and in dire need of a shampoo. There was also a constant noise coming from somewhere. We stayed in room 204.

Very cute hotel with pretty, comfortable rooms. Just off the French quarter so quiet but still walkable to everything. We drove in so parking was a big bonus. The cafe downstairs was very convenient.

It us the starting point to a lot of tours, which can be good if that's what you are doing. It just means the lobby downstairs is very busy during the day.

Interesting rooms. Well appointed, very comfortable.

Housekeeping didn’t keep up on replenishing our in room coffee supplies.

The walk-in shower was much appreciated.

No guest laundry for washing scrubs or work uniform and the laundry in the neighborhoods are too far or not operable during odd hours of day or nite.

Excellent location! Room was super clean and huge. Staff were very friendly. Good security too. It’s also an information centre and small museum so v handy for tour buses etc.

Absolutely nothing!

The room was beautiful, Well lit and sticked. The bed was comfy and the shower was amazing. Mr. Greg was so friendly and helpful.

The front desk and bottom floor is a tourist destination, so it was pretty loud and chaotic.

Location, room and staff were all great.

The front desk staff was exceptional, especially as I was suffering from a touch of food poisoning when leaving the ship. Mr Robertson was helpful and very pleasant to speak with. Took pictures of us infront of the train. A wonderful experience considering my companion could barely walk. I would stay there again and definately worth the money.

There was no breakfast offered, which would have been nice.

I really liked the location. The hotel used to be a rail station and that is the motif through out. It still acts as a tourist stop. It's just outside the French Quarter, like a 3 min walk. It's convenient for tours like the hop on and off bus as well as the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 tour (literally right across the street). My room was spacious and clean. Definitely felt is was value for the money.

That the cafe closed so early. There's no much near by for a late night snack so if the cafe stayed open to at least 5 or there were a greater variety of grab and go snack available in the lobby that would make the hotel almost perfect. But there is a gas station across the street that has a market but that closes kind of early too.

Renovated train depot. Spacious room. Nice staff and just a hop and skip to the French Quarter. Glad to have discovered this hotel. Train exhibitions in the lobby.

The cafe downstairs only opens at 9:00am and closes early. No bar or restaurant but there are coffee machines and refrigerators in the room so it was fine.

Clean, large rooms, polite staff, located close to the French Quarter.

Bedding

we loved the room and the bathroom- spacious and clean: just like on the pictures the reception are is beautiful: it is an old station that has been remodeled to a hotelvery convenient location to walk to the French quarter. quiet neighborhood

coffee shop downstairs is not great for breakfastwhile it was indicated there is a rooftop bar: this area is actually closed

-Staff was very nice, friendly and welcoming-extremely clean room - props to the cleaning staff!-huge room-great location next to the French quarter, but still quiet-nice TV

-the shower was nice but it’s on the same level as the floor so water easily gets out onto the bathroom floor-coffee machine is not the best

Greats staff that are happy to recommend places for fun and food. Bed was very comfy, room surprisingly large. Everything really clean! Location is great - far enough for a quiet sleep, but close enough to walk to Bourbon Street, Frenchman Street and more
