This place is all right, all right, all right! The Old Jail is a gem, if you like original old buildings you’re in it for a treat! The Police Jail has a lot old charm and character, situated in Tremé / LaFitte neighborhood. Go to breakfast or brunch to Leo’s Bread or Flour Mood! Walkable distance to New Orleans Streetcars on Canal Street or take the city bus just around the corner! -Pierre
jessica.friendsNov 05, 2024 Such an incredible place to stay. Todd was so personable and insightful, cannot wait to come back. Bed was incredibly comfortable and room was sparkling clean.
Great place. Great service.
Really cool and unique place in a good area!
The Inn is really cool! Love the history, architecture and bed was very comfortable. Communication was great.
The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy, but as we pulled up to park and once inside we gave it no thought. We drove everywhere we went anyway.
mollie.partnerApr 11, 2024 We loved our stay at the Old Jail, what a place! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we come back to New Orleans, which I'm sure we will!
christine.friendsApr 08, 2024 This is one of the coolest places to stay in NOLA. They did an excellent job preserving the history of the jail house with thoughtful details and fun decor throughout the inn. The common area is spacious and welcoming like a big house, beautiful kitchen area, lots of tables and seats 3 pianos and occasional musicians popping on to play a tune. The roof deck is wonderful for enjoying a beverage and some chill time. The 20min walk to the French Quarter and charming. Todd our host is the best and will give you great recs. We'd definitely come back to stay at the Jail House!
The building itself is beautiful, and has amazing historical charm. The host is very accommodating and friendly. However, it is advertised that there is a breakfast. There was coffee, and bananas. But there was no breakfast to speak of. So that was a bit of a disappointment. We were warned by our taxi driver that the area was not safe to walk around. The area did appear a bit run down. However, I couldn’t say for sure about the safety as we did not walk around we took an Uber everywhere.
The Inn at the Old Jail is exactly what it says. A fantastic place to stay with authentic feel and original features.
Todd our host was brilliant and very knowledgeable about the history of the building plus gave us very useful information about what to do and where to eat etc.
We could not really fault this place to stay with its quirky feel and historical vent which includes various memorabilia from its past use.
charles.partnerApr 12, 2023 The Inn at the Old Jail is a unique historic botique hotel, with tremendous character and charm. The host of the Inn is very knowledgeable about New Orleans and makes you feel like a guest in his home! We had a wonderful time in New Orleans and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else next time we visit!
Very nice place to stay. Not the normal "hotel". It is beautiful inside and just the history behind the Inn. If we ever come back I would definitely stay here again.
I could see where parking could be an issue as it is in a residential area. We were lucky and parked right out front.
Cool, neat venue in an old jail, double Queen bed room was spacious! Todd, the owner was so sweet and responded quickly to any need and gave us a tour of the place to boot! Very nice that there’s a kitchen downstairs with cereal, dishes, snacks available and fridge to store drinks and leftovers! Parking was right in front, it is located in a newer part of Treme’ being redeveloped to be safer, we felt safe at that location but be careful any part of NOLA!
david.partnerOct 24, 2022 Everything was unique at this property and it’s a true gem! We appreciate the hospitality!
kelsey.familyJun 13, 2022 I can’t say enough good things about the Inn! The Innkeeper, Todd, was awesome! He took us on a tour of the Inn sharing all the buildings history. I enjoyed seeing all the antiques throughout the Inn. The neighborhood was quiet and away from the crowds, but only a 10 minute drive from all the action of New Orleans. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend this place. I will stay here again the next time I’m in town.
Very unique spot. Owner was very attentive to your needs and always making sure you are armed with information as you head out into the streets of NOLA.
We had an amazing stay! Todd was a terrific host who was really attentive to our comfort and took time to get to know us. He gave great advice on places to visit and to eat. We loved the tour of this incredible, historic building, which is stunning. We highly recommend pausing each morning to enjoy coffee on the rooftop deck! We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay.
patricia.partnerMar 14, 2022 Absolutely wonderful host! Welcoming, offered great recommendations and made us feel right at home!
Lovely place to stay, with very thoughtful innkeepers! Highly recommend
patrick.partnerJan 03, 2022 The property is full of rich history. The owners are very sweet and accommodating and helpful.
pamela.partnerDec 08, 2021 Slightly off the beaten path but worth it.
Owners take pride in the property and show it.
Common areas are extremely clean, very functional and thematically appropriate.
Bed was comfy with great pillows. Owners provide water bottles and snacks.
Would have to take me away in handcuffs to stay somewhere else.
Just a very cool place at a reasonable price.
Would stay again!
As for the tour!
