The Biscuit Palace is FANTASTIC!!! Location is perfect, close to everything but not too loud! The owner, Clayton, was FANTASTIC as well. He helped us with parking tips, great places to go and always had a great attitude and a smile! The other staff members, Shelly and Billie, were also friendly and helpful too! I can't imagine staying anywhere else... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Biscuit Palace. Stayed in the Conti mini-suite (the last room available for the jammin' Cajun Zydeco Festival weekend) and felt right at home. The place is incredibly funky in decor and furnishings, but it's also very user friendly for a multi-day stay. Mini-fridge, microwave, sink and tap, allows you to lay in supplies.... More

Stayed here with my mom and brother. We loved it! One night my brother and I went to the store, bought some beer, and just sat out on the balcony people watching. My mom is 77 (hope she doesn't read this) and had a little trouble with the 3rd floor climb, but she found being so close to everything was... More

Are you looking for prime location, but are one that can deal with not having the frills of a hotel? Then, this place is for you. The place is a very old guest house, filled with character and basic ammenities. For the money (way cheaper than all!) it is a descent, fairly clean place to stay. The building is right... More

I would highly recommend the Biscuit Palace. The building has so much character and the location is perfect; half a block from Bourbon Street. Clayton, the owner, is very helpful. The guest house is located between Bourbon and Royal streets. Clayton will also help you book excursions. Also an easy walk to Jackson Square and that area.

As previously stated, don't expect a 4star hotel. This is a creaky, sometimes lopsided building that is absolutely the true flavor of New Orleans. My room was authentically decorated and had a front balcony (so a little noisy when the crazies on Bourbon are drinking). Yes, the steps can be a challenge but certainly not a problem for most. Staff... More

My husband and I stayed at the Biscuit Palace in 2012, and we simply loved it! We had a room with a balcony where we drank coffee in the mornings. The room is definitely not equivalent with one of the nicer hotels such as the Hotel Monteleon or LePavillion, but it is exactly what we wanted. Our room had a... More

Reviewed the Biscuit Palace last year and gushed all over it. For our group it is fantastic, again, a bit quirky, funky and tilted some, but absolutely genuine New Orleans! I'll just say again this place may not be for everybody but if you want a real taste of the Quarter in a location right off Bourbon, read up on... More

The Biscuit Palace is everything New Orleans. The rooms are always neat and clean and the staff is great. Clayton has some great tips and advice for the 'not to miss places'. It is located within walking distance to Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and lots of boutique shops! I recommend a suite with a balcony, it's the prefect place to... More

I had the recent good fortune to come into a reservation at the Biscuit Palace. Being located on the corner of Bourbon and Dumaine we were happy to be about two blocks from the bars our group had arranged multiple events. The guesthouse is conveniently located to the usual hot spots while also being in a slightly more residential area.... More
