This is a great hotel. The rooms are wonderful and unique. The bar area is incredible and the pool with their outdoor area is the nicest in New Orleans.
Such a lovely hotel, small and quiet. Everything was very well maintained and the staff were so nice. The pool and surrounding landscaping was beautiful and a great place to swim and relax. Would definitely stay again!
The scenery here is absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere is fantastic! I had such a great time and will definitely be back. The staff was outstanding as well.
Can’t say enough good things about this property!! Beautifully decorated, attentive and friendly staff, comfortable beds and spacious rooms with plenty of bathroom space. And the AC is freezing! Only downside was the pool seating—they offer day passes and the chairs go very quickly.
Absolutely amazing location, Ambiance and interior. The only thing that I was a little upset with was that it was my birthday and I sent a message i thought they would have provided a "welcome/happy birthday setup" nothing too crazy something like the W hotels provide to make someone feel welcomed or acknowledging their celebration (A personalized hotel card) . Also the hotel rooms dont have a mini fridge , I think in 2026 that should be an automatic amenitie. They were accommodating with placing stuff in their front fridge but it would have been better to have our own.
Lovely property in a quiet part of town. Short walk to the trolley. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and charming. Definitely recommended. Would book my New Orleans stay here again.
Air conditioning effective. The whole facility was immaculate. Staff was friendly and helpful. The drinks at the bar were amazing. Guest get free drip coffee which was not bad. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. My husband wanted to take them home.
Friendly helpful staff, loved the property and personal touches (the chocolate and the note in the room). Rooms definitely need a little tlc, chipped paint, cracked blinds, just showing some wear. Room could use a fridge/microwave/coffee pot. Overall the property was decorated beautifully and it was a short walk to public transport or easy uber pickup. Would definitely stay again.
New Orleans welcomed us once again with its warmth and hospitality. My daughter and I stayed at the Blackbird Hotel from June 22–26 and had a wonderful stay.
Cleanliness: 10/10
Front Desk: 10/10 – Taylor and the entire staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming. The Blackbird is a beautifully decorated boutique hotel with just 13 rooms, two bars, a café, and a small pool, creating a charming and intimate atmosphere.
The only downside was being awakened by loud drilling outside our room at 7:56 a.m. on June 25. The manager apologized and addressed the issue promptly. While I understand that maintenance is necessary, scheduling noisy work after 10:00 a.m. would be more considerate of guests.
The hotel is best suited for adults, couples, and solo travelers rather than families with young children. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely stay at the Blackbird again.
The hotel was quintessentially New Orleans in its architectural style. The room was beautiful and clean. The common areas, including the bar, were comfortable, classic, and funky.
The rooms could benefit from having a safe and a coffee/tea kettle or offering these essential morning beverages in the hotel lobby.
Blackbird was a stunning hotel with friendly staff and a really chilled feel. We absolutely loved exploring New Orleans, but made it even better to be able to come back and relax in a beautiful pool area for a reset. The free street parking was also a big perk.
Fantastic, intimate hotel experience. Surprisingly quiet for where it was located, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Did not use the pool due to travel time constraints, but had a drink at the bar and enjoyed the ambience.
I had an excellent stay at the Blackbird. Everything from the rooms, to the cocktails, to the pool were absolutely stunning. Super friendly and helpful staff. Food was great! Absolutely nothing but positive vibes!

It was an ok experience. The staff were nice. Since the weather was cold during my stay, the portable AC units were not working well in two rooms I stayed, unfortunately. I wish there was a kettle for boiling hot water.
This property was exactly what we were looking for! It was just as advertised and more! Very clean, very intimate, well kept and the people were amazing. From the staff escorting us to our room for the vist viewing, to the local recommendations for activities and dining. Very low key for a relaxing adult trip, which was perfect for us.
We had a wonderful stay. Keep in mind, it is NOLA and an old building, so the room is small, but very well done. Also, the pool is amazing. People are able to buy a day pass to the pool, so it was very busy one day (4th of July). Having the bar by the pool was great.
This place was wonderful. It’s new and stylish. Great location. The heated pool , courtyard, and foliage was beautiful and relaxing. Great staff. Comfortable beds and rooms. We loved it and will be returning!
The hotel was absolutely beautiful. So full of character. Dark, sultry, unique. The staff was amazing, super friendly and ready to help. Drinks were delicious. We were walking distance to lots of restaurants if you want to venture off. Uber was always 2 min away. Short drive to/from the airport. We will be back!
