We have stayed at 10 different places in New Orleans. Elesion Fields Inn is by far the best. Michelle and Bob were so hospitable. Breakfast was amazing. I have not one negative thing to say. We will never stay anywhere else, as long as they have room available.. Love, Jami and Pam Hardick

Spacious bed and breakfast within walking distance of Frenchmen and the larger French Quarter. The hosts are very accommodating and communicative and provide fresh cooked breakfast each day.

We loved our stay at Elysian Fields Inn! It’s extremely cozy— Bob and Michelle are great hosts and make very delicious breakfasts to start your day. The hotel is well appointed and the rooms are comfortable. We stayed in a bedroom with a queen bed, it was one of their smaller rooms but still very nice and had everything we needed. The location can’t be beat. We loved that we were able to walk over to the Bywater and Marigny neighborhoods for great food (but were also just as close to the French Quarter). We will definitely stay here again next time we are in New Orleans.

I had the best experience staying at my first bed and breakfast at Elysian Fields Inn! The hosts were so welcoming, accommodating, and lovely!! I got to meet many friendly faces at the breakfast table, and loved hearing all the different stories of their lives. I felt at home here, to say the least. I felt safe and informed as a solo female traveler. I was very thankful for Michelle's tips on walking the neighborhood at night. I would highly recommend Elysian Fields Inn for your next trip to NOLA!! Do it!

Michelle and Bob love what they do, and it shows! I sincerely can't think of a single negative. I will come back again and highly recommend to everyone I know.

Simply put: they are wonderful people running a top notch place with mouthwatering breakfast!
If you want southern hospitality and down home cooking you HAVE to stay here. Michelle’s breakfasts were restaurant quality, and the love she puts into her food goes into every aspect of Elysian Fields Inn. Our room was so clean, the house is gorgeous, it’s so close to everything (Frenchman St., Bourbon St., public transit, the best local bar, etc.) and the owners just make it next level. They are accommodating, knowledgeable to the area, and have great recommendations. We will definitely be back and will be staying with Michelle/Elysian Fields Inn again! In all aspects, it’s a wonderful place to stay!

What a delightful place! The bed felt just right, the pillows were perfect, the shower had great pressure. There's a nice breakfast every day, a nice little pool for when the heat is unbearable, and it's an easy walk to the Quarter (but far enough out to be away from the noise and craziness). Everything was great! Michelle and Bob are great hosts! I will always look to stay here when returning to NOLA!

Had a great stay at this bed and breakfast in a large refinished old house. The place is beautiful, Bob and Michelle are wonderful hosts and it's hard to beat the location. Breakfasts were quite yummy -- shrimp and grits and pancakes with pecans and bacon was what was served when we stayed there. Hosts are very communicative and accommodating.
A couple of very minor things for general knowledge: We didn't see an iron in our room; probably could have got one had we asked/really needed it. So, ask if you need one.
A decent number of guestrooms are on the first floor and line a hallway leading to the dining room/common area. If people congregate in that area, you can pretty much hear their conversation in the closer rooms to the dining room. Of course, some people may appreciate this feature. And, we found the place quiet during normal night hours. It's not like this Inn is large enough to attract raucous young crowds for Mardis Gras or the weekends, which is also well-appreciated.
But, we did find complimentary earplugs in our room. We didn't use them (we be city folk ourselves), but for those bothered by either sounds coming from the dining room or Elysian Fields Ave, such an amenity was a nice touch.
Be sure to stick your head in the powder room on the first floor (pictured).
Would stay again and recommend.

Charming inn in the purest New Orleans style. Very well located for access on foot to the Vieux Carré and particularly to FrenchMen street.
Family welcome, homemade breakfast with specialties and fruits.
Warmly recommended
Rooms: Spacious, welcoming rooms with style. There is even a Victorian suite but we preferred the typical classic Louisiana rooms.
Nearby activities: Ideal location, especially during Mardi Gras festivities
Safety: Calm
100% secure
Walkability: 1 block from FrenchMen street (Vieux carre).
On bus lines 8 and 55
Food & drinks: Home made. A specialty per day, fruits, vegetables. It’s a change from the American hotel standard

Stayed here in November '23. The hosts are lovely, so welcoming and willing to share their vast knowledge. Felt very safe walking around, but made it back inside before eleven at night most nights. Great location and the parades start just a block away! Easy to catch the Red Tour bus line about half a block away. Priced well and well appointed rooms. The breakfasts are to die for!

We had an excellent stay at Elysian Fields Inn over the New Year's holiday. Michelle and Bob did a fantastic job hosting our group and accommodating our weirdness. The morning breakfasts were delicious and the coffee was always on. Our rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable, and the whole place was spotless. Highest recommendation.Walkability: Elysian Fields Inn is a short walk to Frenchmen Street, and an easy walk to the Quarter. Grocery and pharmacy are right nearby and you have a ton of bar and restaurant options within walking distance. The area is safe and pretty quiet and easy to get to.

We had an absolutely amazing experience staying at Elysian Fields Inn. The inn is conveniently located just a couple of blocks from Frenchman Street, renowned as the best place to enjoy live music in the area. The surroundings are remarkably quiet, exceptionally clean, and incredibly comfortable.The common area is spacious and beautifully decorated, with a welcoming porch and a delightful pool that beckon guests to relax. Both the house and the rooms are tastefully adorned, creating a charming atmosphere.Our host, Michelle, contributed significantly to our wonderful stay. She not only prepared delicious breakfasts but also provided a wealth of useful information. Michelle was a pleasure to talk to, enhancing the overall enjoyment of our visit. Her restaurant and entertainment suggestions were spot on, and we largely followed them during our outings.A heartfelt thank you to Michelle and Bob for their outstanding hospitality. Our stay at Elysian Fields Inn was truly memorable, and we appreciate the warmth and care they extended to make our experience exceptional.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, friendly bed and breakfast in a great location, the Elysian Fields Inn is a terrific option for NOLA. The Inn is positioned near the French Quarter, a short walk to highly rated restaurants such as Paladar 511, and to great jazz clubs such as Snug Harbor and the Spotted Cat. You’ll meet lots of friendly and interesting people at the Inn, as I did during my recent five-night stay. Hosts Michelle and Bob serve delicious breakfasts and bent over backwards to accommodate all dietary restrictions. They were also impressively flexible and accommodating to our varied travel schedules. The Inn itself has loads of old-world charm – high ceilings, chandeliers, and lovely furnishings – but also provides all modern conveniences (great water pressure and plentiful hot water, terrific climate control, and comfortable beds). There is a terrific bookstore/coffee shop (Baldwin and Company) just a block away, a Starbucks across the street, and a wonderful food court (St. Roch Market) and market (Robert’s) just around the corner.

Michelle and Bob were great hosts. Their beautiful B&B is in the Marigny neighborhood and is very walkable to all that is to be seen in the French Quarter and only steps from the food and music scene on Frenchman St. Awesome breakfasts were a great start to each day and homemade cookies were a delicious treat at the end of the night.
