Frommer's
"This is the place for those who want something more than a B&B but dislike the generic quality that comes with a chain or business-oriented hotel." Full review
Fodor's
"For those who prefer a quieter neighborhood, the elegance of St. Charles Avenue is laid out before you in this small, chic hotel—plus, you're right next to the streetcar line." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Right on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, the Lafayette recalls the elegant residential hotels of an earlier era with its classic decor, friendly staff, and handsome Beaux-Arts building."
Gayot
"This 1916 Beaux-Arts building sits at the edge of Lafayette Square just outside downtown New Orleans. It is a small, nearly hidden jewel on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line."

Lonely Planet
"Nine buildings from the 1830s combine to form a fine mid-range hotel in the very heart of the Quarter." Full review
Star Service
"The fact that its room rates are so low keeps this place on the short list of both budgeters and those willing to pay up, everyone clearly enjoying the excellent location and friendly vibe." Full review
Gayot
"A stone's throw from historic St. Louis Cathedral and a couple blocks from Bourbon Street, yet private and quiet enough to escape the madding crowds."
Oyster
