Staying at the Inn at the Old Jail in Tremé was an experience unlike any other. From the moment we arrived, the unique charm of the place was palpable, with each room telling a story of its rich history. The shared kitchen was fully equipped, making it feel like a home away from home, while the living room and roof terrace offered comfortable spaces to relax and take in the city vibes. Parking was a breeze, which is a rare find in New Orleans, adding to the ease of our stay. Located in the heart of Tremé, just next to the vibrant French Quarter, the inn's location couldn't be more perfect. The 30-minute walk to the French Quarters was always an adventure, allowing us to soak in the local culture and scenery. For those looking to immerse themselves in the true spirit of New Orleans, the Inn at the Old Jail is the place to be.

The property was very cool. A lot of interesting history. The staff was so friendly and helpful. It was kind of like living in my own, but much more cool home. About a 20 minute walk to the French Quarter. Also, close to French Street for the music scene. Seemed like a nice enough neighborhood. I felt safe. Great walking trails nearby and Tulane is a short walk away.

I like a really dark room to sack out in after staying out late, but there were not black out curtains on the windows, but that was my only minor complaint.

The building is amazing - so much history and it is appropriately decorated. Breakfast isn't served, but there are various cereals, fruit, milk, coffee, tea, etc. that is available. There is a shared kitchen that can be used, which makes it convenient to bring home left overs.

I loved staying at the property bc it was different and social media worthy.

the windows get condensation that was dripping from the window on to the bed, but I don’t blame the host. he can’t control that unless he moved the bed away from the windows.

Good location in walking distance to French Quarter, very nice rooms and facilities and Todd is the best and friendliest host ever!

Unfortunately it is a bit noisy.

First-class experience. The Inn at the Old Jail is an absolutely delightful place to stay that is only exceeded by the tremendous and incomparable hospitality afforded by Todd, the on-site manager. Gracious, accommodating, and a fountain of knowledge about the city and its music/food/entertainment scenes, Todd was undoubtedly the best guide and host I have ever experienced traveling. The Inn itself is an immensely comfortable and friendly establishment that doubles as a fascinating museum. Most importantly, the Inn functions within its community and not apart from it. Easy access to all New Orleans has to offer. Do yourself a favor and stay here.

Nothing.

The stories behind it, a truly unique accommodation! Todd is great, made sure to check up on the guests before their arrival, gave me a tour around the building, I got to see some other rooms, and he gave tons of great recommendations. Everything’s super clean and tidy, guests are free to help themselves to things in the pantry and drinks in the fridge. It is a unique and cool experience!

It is away from touristy places, might be a plus for some actually, it’s not really a bad thing just a reminder for first timers that it could be of inconvenience.

Everything was excellent. Made to feel extremely welcome from our first contact with host, Todd. Facilities were great. Access to the kitchen. Communal areas were very comfortable. Really enjoyed the roof terrace as a chill out space after exploring the local area. Really friendly bar (Skeeta Brewery) a short walk away. Also, Flour Moon bagel cafe is good for breakfast. Would highly recommend Inn at the Jail House.

This is such an amazing place! We just loved everything about it! Everything is very spacious and clean! There is a large kitchen with free coffee, fruit and sweets! Todd is an absolute outstanding host with a lot of great recommendations, very friendly and caring! The rooftop terrace is unbelievable! We rather stayed there at night than going to a bar. The neighborhood is very safe.

There was nothing that we did not like

There was always fresh fruit, cereal, coffee and water available. For any other food needs we had to go off property or bring items in and prepare them ourselves. There's a fully functional kitchen available to guests. There are good restaurants within walking distance. Also there's a corner store nearby and a Whole Foods about 5 mins away. The building itself is cool especially if you are a fan of history and preservations/renovations. It's about a 10 minute drive from the craziness of Bourbon St, which was perfect for us. Very quiet area, but close enough to the more raucous activities when you want that. Uber is a great and easy way to get around.

It wasn't a problem for us, because we booked 2 adjacent rooms and were on the same schedule as our friends next door, but the walls are a bit thin so we could hear our friends next door talking on the phone etc. If, for example, the guests staying next to us were up late and being loud, while we were trying to sleep it would not have been great.
