Spot on location
The Dauphine Orleans Hotel has been described by many guests as "a charming hotel with the perfect location". Guests have found it convenient that most attractions are within walking distance of the hotel. Even though the popular Bourbon Street is only one block away, the hotel itself is still very quiet.

Wonderful pool side atmosphere

Negative Reviews
negative:
Not all rooms have a balcony
Be sure when you book a room, to mention whether you require a balcony or not. Some visitors have been a little disappointed when they realize they did not get a balcony with their original booking. You might just be lucky however to be upgraded at no additional cost.
negative:
Some noisy rooms
If peace and quiet is what you are looking for, then make sure that you do not reserve a room facing the street. Guests have reported that the street noise is a little excessive, especially at night. There are plenty of rooms facing the courtyard that do not have the same noise level.
negative:
Minor cleanliness issues
Travelers have reported some minor issues that could deserve some attention, such as a little rust on the shower head in the bathroom, and the small trash bin in the room had not been emptied from the last guest. Once these problems were reported, the friendly staff were quick to sort them out.
