Bijou Boutique Inn

An adorable and well-located “gem.” we stayed in the 2nd floor Common Room and it was quiet and clean and very pretty. There were lots of thoughtful touches throughout the room and we had no problems checking in or leaving. Ashley was super helpful and responsive. We liked the way the Inn is organized, with a parlor room downstairs where you could get snacks and relax. The outside shared porches with hanging flowers were really cute and it was fun to see the horses and carriages walking by occasionally. Everything worked beautifully! (Loved the chocolate cookies,too!) The Inn is exactly as advertised!

I stayed there last night (1/8) in the Magnolia room. Everything about the place was exceptional! I had a late arrival and the communication was great on how to check in. My room was perfect for a cold January night with the fireplace going upon my arrival. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town Mark P.

Great location, just a block from the city market and next to the horse & carriage companies. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and comfortable. It’s a beautiful, historic building and had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed the gas fireplace. It added a coziness to the room.

This historic "Charleston Single" style home has been converted into a 5 room hotel. It is well located in Old Town, near the Market, King Street shopping and seemingly endless restaurant choices. However, it is definitely a work in progress. The quality of the renovations is substandard. The rooms on the second floor are accessed by a narrow staircase that could be a hazard for seniors. Even though the outdoor temps were in the low 80s during our stay, the noisy window a/c unit struggled to keep the room comfortable. There are no on-site staff after 4pm. The 24 hour parlor room had coffee, tea, fruit juices and various pastries, cereals and fruit available to guests, which was a nice touch.

Great place perfectly located in the heart of the French Quarter. We stayed in the Indigo room which had a big and very comfortable bed. Nice breakfast with great coffee. Reasonably priced but you have to pay for parking which is right across the street. Location can not be beat. Ashley was a great host.

Wish I had read reviews on this site rather than a rival one. The owner/staff are keyboard warriors and will react to what I am writing. You need to read all reviews to get a feel for this place as it has issues, personally I think it is the bedroom I stayed in - cotton - that is a part of the problem. There are five bedrooms, mine was very small, so was bathroom, the main door didn’t fit frame. It was a quirky room, cost £230 per night. Vastly overpriced!! There are better options at half the price to be had. Breakfast was no better, any fresh foods looked well past their best, there was no interaction between ourselves and staff even though one member was sat on her computer 4 metres away with door open. It doesn’t take much to be pleasant with guests, especially in such a small hotel, just didn’t happen. Obviously other guests have a completely different opinion to mine, we stayed two nights, but if you read what’s out there, our experience of this hotel is not unique. Probably would not have reviewed this place but, after we left, the owner sent an ‘extensive’ email to me about what my wife had written in their guestbook. I could go on and give lots of detail, I’ll leave that to hotel bijou. Out of the seven hotels we visited in US this was one of the most expensive and frankly the most disappointing, the others were superb, especially in their customer relations. Why did I give it two stars rather than one, breakfast slightly improved on second day. Don’t book the room I was in, it’s poor value for what you’re spending.
