Auld Sweet Olive Bed and Breakfast

We loved Auld Sweet Olive! The house was beautiful and comfortable and our room was great. It's located in the Faubourg Marigny District which is just next to the French District but quieter and safer. We could walk to the French District or take the little street car that was three blocks away and ran across the top of the French District and could be used to go to the Garden District. There were great restaurants just a block or two away. The St. Roch Market is a real gem - 12 vendors and a little bar in an old farmers' market. Everything we had there was fantastic and it was very handy if we were out and missed dinner or needed to grab a quick bit of lunch. Who Dat Coffee is a block away in the other direction and you have to have breakfast there at least once, even though breakfast at Sweet Olive is very good. Kate, the inn keeper, is highly competent, a great cook, and tons of fun. We felt like we had a new friend by the time we left. We stayed in the Palmento Room. It was very cutely decorated and comfortable with a convenient door to the very pleasant outside pool area. The only down side for us was that the adorable antique bathtub was a bit scary for older people in their 70s like we are. However, each room is different and many have showers that would be better for old people, so it's an easy to solve problem if you know in advance what you need and can specify that. We loved the Auld Sweet Olive and Kate and highly recommend it.

The welcoming house, landscaping complete with a beautiful pool and hot tub, and everyone who works here is beyond kind and generous. We stayed around the corner for 18 years until it sold. We've tried several other places and now, with this stay, a new place with new memories has begun to unfold. Communication was precise and clear regarding checkin. Kate, Darin and Jeff, thank you for everything. To be continued on our next trip. 1001 thank yous.

We stayed here to celebrate a milestone birthday and had a fantastic time. The property was gorgeous, everyone on staff was kind and welcoming, and the location was perfect, close to St. Roch’s Market and Frenchmen Street. Kate especially went above and beyond in helping me plan a small get-together and a few fun birthday surprises. We highly recommend this property and would absolutely choose it again. Thanks so much to Kate, Steve, and Lora for a wonderful stay!

100% recommend - room, location, ambience, amenities, and service were all excellent. We stayed here for a weekend anniversary trip and would definitely stay here again for any other trip to New Orleans. The place is really close to lots of great food, entertainment, etc., but when you're there, it feels like a serene escape from the city, though it certainly has the character and charm of Marigny. Kate is a warm and friendly host and makes a solid breakfast. The pool and hot tub were great to have. Room was comfortable and well-decorated. If you want to experience all that the city has to offer, but also have a quiet, comfortable place to relax, this place is for you.

Great place to soak in music , food and drink in the Big East. Enjoyed walking to Frenchmen St and French Quarter and discovering local charms and hospitality. This is the heart and soul of American music. Sweet Olive B&B fit right into the scene. Wonderful staff & great breakfast. Thanks you Kate
