Excellent staff, customer focused. Walls between rooms a bit too thin but, that’s old buildings.
Easy walk to the bus stop and French quarter.

Beautiful property within walking distance to Bourbon street. There are two buildings, both lovely old homes. Our room was very comfortable, with a balcony that we enjoyed tremendously. Bathroom was modern, which is always nice in an older building. The pool and hot tub were not modern, but that’s what made them so great. Thank you Rathbone staff for a perfect stay!

Rathbone is very cozy and charming, and conveniently located. There were a few minor things that could be improved-- the kitchen sink in the room needed a new aerator (it sprayed water to the sides), and the lights in the pool area wouldn't turn on so it was a bit dark at night.

Rathbone Mansions was a lovely place to stay, old world charm and friendly service. Walking distance to Bourbon St. if you don't mind walking 14mins to Lafitte's Blacksmith Bar. Bed was comfortable but don't expect everything to be like a new hotel. You will the character & style of both Mansions.

I liked the location to downtown and the historic aspect. I wish could have stayed in one of inside entrance rooms versus an outside entrance room to get the historical ambiance.

An amazing value for the rate. A short walk from Frenchman street and the Quarter in one direction, a slightly longer walk the other direction to the amazing NOMA Sculpture garden and St Louis Cemetery 3. Clean, quiet, with a relaxing pool and hot tub out back. Rooms are small but well appointed, and the bed was crazy comfortable.

Loved staying at Rathbone Mansions. It was so charming and clean and bed was really comfortable. It had a nice big shower and had a heater in the bathroom too! It was also in walking distance to Port of Call, our favorite burger in New Orleans!
