Bywater Suite Hotel

Said it was a balcony room but the balcony door was broken.Said it had a fire place no fire place.

I wasn¿t too sure about the area but boy was i wrong my husband and i walked blocks and blocks everywhere we went people were very nice and respectful they gave us recommendations and we walked to jam Nola which is about a 18 min walk from the hotel

The electricity went out which isn¿t their fault and the attendant came around to check on everyone i guess i can¿t say i didn¿t like that but it happened lol

I really enjoyed the staff, location, and pool!

I didn¿t like that there wasn¿t a full length mirror in the room. It was a hindrance to my experience, especially during Mardi Gras. Otherwise, I was very happy!

The hotel made me feel very safe and secure being that it¿s so close to all of the mess at Bourbon St. It exceeded my expectations did not know I had booked a small apartment with all the amenities my home has. Felt like home! The pool/spa amazing and cle

Just working their keyless system gave me some annoyance but over everything was great.

Convenience

Dirty sheets. No front desk help. Called number 2 days in a row only to receive 3rd party live agents that stated they would relay concerns to the property & never heard from anyone. Tv didn’t work. No ironing board or iron as stated

The grounds were absolutely flawless. Grass cut, concrete clean, no trash laying around. The apartment was so spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed in the room I am glad they thought of things we didn’t.

Convenient location, clean and large rooms. We have stayed here two years in a row and we are happy with everything, including the friendly staff.

The water was out for most of the day I was there / needed to get ready for a wedding and couldn't shower etc. The only window was to a brick wall, so room was really dark

Believe this was an old monastery building that's been converted to an apart hotel. Really nice rooms and self check in codes. Spacious and wifi worked well. Pool was really nice to cool off. The Bywater neighborhood was cute, it's more residential, but there's a few nice local restaurants / coffee spots that are fantastic. It's a short 10 min Uber to the French Quarter and more central areas, or there's a bus stop around the corner as an economical option. As a result, staying in the Bywater make not be the ideal option for every tourist coming to NOLA, but as a long time visitor, I really loved being here. I will certainly return.

Fitness room was too small and not worth using.

The parking was gated.

They didn't disclose that parking prices are $28-$30/night before you booked the reservation even though they've had complaints. Of course they realized many people simply wouldn't book this place if they were upfront about it. They dont have phones, so there isn't a way to reach the front desk other than coming downstairs multiple times in the hope that someone might be there. Many times the desk was abandoned. The walls are incredibly thin and you can easily hear entire conversations down the halls.

It was a remodeled church, which lent its own distinctive vibe to our stay. But all over it was a beautiful property. The suite was very clean and comfortable, with a comfortable couch and a fully stocked kitchenette. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom and shower were great. Beautiful pool area, friendly staff, although we virtually never encountered any of them. Nonetheless everything went as it should. All of the keypad entry points worked flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this for a couple getting away, or a family. Were I traveling alone? I would’ve enjoyed it as well.

It had a very particular ambience being in a ref refurbished church grounds. I have no personal attachment to this in anyway, but I did find it unique and its own way and quite nice.

exactly as described, beautiful rooms, nice gated parking area and easy access to elevators and rooms. it is worth the price ten fold.

The hotel was very clean, easy-to get to and from using public transportation and the surrounding neighborhood had interesting things to see and excellent places to eat. The staff were friendly when seen but not super present. Our rooms were very spacious and there was good clothing storage. Everything seemed pretty new. Great to be able to do the laundry in fresh new machines. Having actual bedrooms was good for our family for privacy and space. Good value for the price. Getting to NoLa sights was simple and felt safe. Walking around the Bywater neighborhood was really cute- especially all the Halloween decorations.

Despite having three little balconies, we could not open either the French windows or the blinds. It would have been lovely to sit out or even see out. Conversely, it was impossible to fully darken the bedrooms for sleeping, but that was not too bad. One room was above a very rumbley a/c unit, which took some getting used to at night. We had to ask for things like enough cutlery and chairs for our family of 3, and basic things like a can opener and extra toilet paper, kitchen towels etc were not provided.. when we asked for these it was as if we were making outlandish requests, but eventually, they were produced.

We loved the beautiful and newly renovated location. The pool was great the hot tub was huge and so nice. The staff were all amazing, nice and helpful. The room was spacious and very clean. The bed were nice. A little firm for us but not terrible! Was pretty quiet. Great for families and groups. Parking was gated and it felt very safe and secure. Someone followed us in the gate and they addressed that car instantly. Would come back here every time we visit for sure!!

Beds could be a bit softer. But not bad! Hot tub smelled like it needed more chemicals for sure. Price of parking was high but that seemed normal.

The property and rooms were beautiful! We really loved that the majority of the property was renovated buildings that had been completely refurbished for a whole new use.

This is not a “dislike”, but it was a bit of a ways away from some of the places we like to frequent while in New Orleans. We knew this when booking, so it wasn’t a surprise. It was a trade-off: good bargain for a great room with a bit of distance vs. exorbitant price for an ok room with a prime location. We made the right choice with Bywater. We were celebrating our daughter’s 16th birthday, so we had our own room and bathroom. She and her best friend had their own room and bathroom. I cannot imagine the chaos had the four of us had to share ANYTHING!

We love the architecture of the building; it is quiet and the setting is wonderful. There is lots of space and green areas. There is a clean and comfortable swimming pool surrounded by chairs and parasols.

The car park should be free for the customers. Unfortunately we had to pay a fee.

Untraditional in an unpleasant way

Sketchy area. Although hotel is gated I would not be comfortable venturing outside the gate alone or at night. There is also no staff or security on property overnight. It doesn’t look like a hotel from the outside and apparently was historically a Catholic school. Which wouldnt necessarily be an issue except for historical elements which remain (i.e. saint’s face on top of a building) which give an odd and even eerie vibe. Room itself was spacious but there were issues in one of the bedrooms (stained bed sheet and dead cockroach). On top of that the WiFi/cable was out with no expected timeframe for resolution.

The location is great, clean rooms

This place needs more, the beds a horrible. It needs tvs in the bedroom. And a complimentary breakfast for the price wouldn’t be bad

Very quiet and clean.

It could use one more floor lamp and more seating for a family in the living room area. The can lights were nice, but bright when you wanted some light at night.

The location was great, we took the bus where we needed to go to keep from paying for parking. The bus was $8 for a 3 day pass. Rachel and Lionsha were wonderful! Definitely a home away from home type place. The rooms had everything you needed.
