I’ll start with the positives. It’s a gorgeous and unique property. Overall, the staff at Hotel Peter and Paul were great—special thanks to Vaughn and Ayanna at the front desk, and Madeline at Elysian. The Marigny location is very convenient: only about a 5-minute walk to Frenchmen Street and a 15- minute walk to the heart of Bywater. The neighborhood is residential and quiet and it’s a nice break from the ruckus of the French Quarter. It’s a rare hotel property in a neighborhood dominated by short-term rentals. There are plenty of local coffee shops, restaurants and bars (Ayu, Who Dat, R Bar) within blocks. The hotel’s decor is thoughtfully designed, perfect for travelers who enjoy an independent boutique vibe. The beautifully repurposed building poses some challenges with noise. Central to the charm, the hotel is housed in an old school. They did a great job making the most of the footprint. That means some rooms — all interiors are great—aren’t in an ideal location. Our Schoolhouse Classic was located right off the lobby and next to the lobby’s single, public restroom. Unfortunately, when we were in our room the noise was relentless. Our room was also next to the elevator. which meant we dealt with constant disturbances at all hours. We could hear people loudly chatting in the hallway, doors slamming, and the elevator dinging repeatedly throughout the day and night. No chance of getting some rest during the day. A steady stream of groups using the single public restroom caused the door to open and slam over and over again. On our first night, one wedding guest took over the bathroom, yelling for others to join him in the “WC” for hours. At over $400/night, this experience fell far short of expectations. We expected a much more peaceful stay given the hotel’s reputation, marketing and price point. It’s disappointing that the hotel didn’t warn us about how noisy the room’s location could be—surely they know how disruptive that location is. The hotel was fully booked so switching rooms wasn’t an option. Had we known in advance, we would have made other arrangements. Bottom Line If you plan to stay at Hotel Peter and Paul, avoid Room 103 (and probably the other rooms that are off the lobby) at all costs. I highly recommend calling ahead to inquire about your room’s location. The property is beautiful and the staff are wonderful, but our experience was impacted by the unrelenting noise. It simply was not worth the price tag.
