I stayed at this hotel in April 2011 and now, eight months on, I frequently find myself, back at the grind of work, taking a few moments to recollect how happy I was at Degas House in New Orleans. It's true this four-night stay was part of the best holiday I have ever been on but this was definitely a... More

We learned of the Degas House when Living Social offered a half-off on a garret room stay, and decided it would be a cozy, intimate place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we arrived, Julie offered to upgrade us to the Estelle Room (aka the Bridal Suite) for a small fee, and after seeing the room, there was no question.... More

Thank you for your great review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We really appreciate your constructive criticism, and are taking each issue seriously. We have ordered a new shelf for the Estelle bathroom and we will be getting a new television. We want the room to keep its authentic feel, while keeping our guests happy with everyday amenities....

Our stay in the Estelle Room was like a trip back in time. The New Orleans Museum of Art, 10 blocks down Esplanade Ave, has an exhibit of an upper class 19th Century NOLA home. How cool to look at the art exhibit and then return to our own Degas House and our own Estelle Room that looked just like... More

Degas' great grand-niece took me on an amazing 1:1 tour of this house. I walked here from the French Quarter and Margeaux even recommended a fabulous burger place (Port of Call) for the walk home. This was THE highlight of my trip to NOLA. More

The Degas House is one of the most surprising gems in New Orleans. From the creature comfort found in the unique rooms to the scruptious made to order Creole Breakfast!

What kind of b&b is this? We stayed in Josephine room and had to hear the next door neighbors dog bark for several hrs until I called police. My room service changed my bed sheets and my new sheets had a huge hole in them! The degas house is under renovation, which wasn't disclosed to us, and there is no... More

Thank you for staying with us. An experienced traveler would always know to contact us when you are having any issues. You did not contact us about your issues even though you interacted with three of our employees. When the owner called this reviewer after her stay to see why she did not contact us about her issues during her... More

This trip was part of a Living Social package we purchased. Our stay at the Degas House was everything we hoped for. We live within 90 minutes of New Orleans and make frequent trips there. This trip allowed us to explore an area of New Orleans that we do not often have the chance to; the Esplanade Ridge neighborhood. The... More

My husband and I stayed at the Degas House as a late anniversary trip. The House is gorgeous and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Desiree room. The bed was very comfortable, and the room itself was lovely, but the tub was outstanding. It was great after long days walking the French Quarter and touring... More
