I loved this place. I have never stayed at a Bed & Breakfast before and I am so glad that my first experience was absolutely awesome. From the owners, to the actual house, to the neighborhood, everything was perfect. The owners Phillip & David are phenomenal at what they do. I will never stay at another place in New Orleans...
""That More Bohemian Extension Of The French Quarter."" 3/4/2007
Stayed On: 2/2007
It's clear to see that the Faubourg Marigny has deep roots. The sidewalks are great fun after a few drinks! However, the sidewalks around The Royal Street Courtyard are fine. Current innkeepers Phillip Lege and David Smith obviously and lovingly care for this charming bed and breakfast. Phillip was full of knowledge for local eateries and entertainment and couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. We had room ten, on the second floor. The room had floor to ceiling windows which are counter-weighted to open fully onto the large, spectacular balcony complete with original, beautiful wrought iron and hand carved cypress finials overhead running the entire width of the house. A small round table with chairs and wicker couch were also on the balcony. Sitting out there, perched above the street each morning and evening was calming, watching interesting people of the neighborhood below, some riding their bikes or scooters with musical instruments strapped aboard, headed to wherever. The bedding was comfortable and attractive. Plenty of drawer space on the marble topped dresser and matching bedside nightstands. A mid-sized armoire tops off enough space to stay several weeks. The bathroom for room ten is across the hall with shower only. No tub. It was well maintained and the towels were nice and fluffy. Having to cross the hall to use this room may be an inconvenience to some but having the large king bed room with access to the balcony makes it worthwhile. The continental breakfasts were above satisfactory and the coffee was great. The Faubourg Marigny is a very nice place to stay. Not far from the now famous Frenchman St. You can be in the center of the Vieux Carre' (French Quarter) within a fifteen minute, safe stroll all the while viewing and enjoying the local architectural history. No car needed! We would stay there again (and again). Thanks Phillip and David. Hope visit again soon.

This was our first time back since the storm and we had a wonderful time. The RS Courtyard is a beautiful property in a wonderful neighborhood. Your steps from the action on Frenchmen St. and blocks from the Quarter. Phillip and David are both knowledgable, friendly and incredibly accomodating. We couldn't have had a nicer stay!

Stayed at Royal Street Courtyard January 2007. It was my first experience with a B&B and it was EXCELLENT! I wasn't sure what to think at first, but the style and charm of the place wins you over. Not to mention the owners! Philip is a treat and VERY knowledgeable about attractions and places to see in New Orleans. He not only recommended a most excellent restaurant more on that below) for us he kept me company while my travel partner slept! Talk about above and beyond! If he recommends that you dine at Adolpho's (sp?) GO, it is some of the best food you will ever eat. Take cash as that is all that they accept at Adolpho's. The rooms and bathroom at the B&B were nice, organized and clean. Overall one of the best travel experiences I have had. I will definitely go and vist Philip, I mean stay at the Royal Street Courtyard again!

I stayed at Royal Street Courtyard with friends in 2006 the first weekend of Mardi Gras. The owners are very nice and helpful. The premises are very clean. It's just a beautiful and well priced place to stay. It's an easy walk to the French Quarter, and pretty close to the aquarium and St. Charles Street Car. It's also right on the route for the Krewe de Vieux parade, so you can sit up on the porch and watch! I'm coming back this year and I know I will return many more times to Royal Street Courtyard.
