We had an excellent stay here. The Bed and Breakfast is located in the Garden District, which is about a ten minute drive if you're headed to the French Quarter. At first I wasnt sure if it was close enough but I'm glad I didnt stay closer - it was nice and quiet and relaxing. The price was great - I actually learned about it through a Groupon I saw online, and even though I didnt use the Groupon I still ended up paying what I consider a very fair price for a lovely Bed and Breakfast. Our room was on the first floor - which I wasnt thrilled about but it was a good sized room with a bathroom in it. The decor, as you would imagine, was antique and the ceilings were very high. I was joking with my husband that it is probably haunted! lol The coffee is wonderful! What you can expect for breakfast is: Yogurt, Cereal, Eggs, Sausage, Pastries, Tea, Milk, Orange Juice. Its quite the spread. The keepers are so nice and will sit with you at breakfast to talk to you about the city and the property. They are so sweet and knowledgeable There are a few parking spaces on the property. though street parking was ample when we went so we didn't have an issue. I had a wonderful time and i recommend.

Sunday morning, 7:45 am. Sitting on the balcony in Room 13. Cool September breeze whipping the leaves around on the sidewalks. The sound of the cars zooming by and the trolley car's clankity-clank sounds in the distant background. It's the reason why we always get a little teary-eyed every time when it's departure day. NOLA is a town of dreamer seekers, failed dreams, bachelor(ette) parties, bad mistakes and lots, and I mean lots of booze. Our 2nd stay in NOLA and this time I chose the Fairchild Bed & Breakfast. Why you ask? Because 2010 was a great stay and I wanted to duplicate this experience with my friends, whom have never been to New Orleans. The check-in was a little long. But hey, the guy checked-in the newbie to NOLA in front of me, and did a great job. We were not in a rush, so it was alright. (Have to remember 'I'm on vacation. I'm on vacation. I'm on vacation') Guy comes back, my check-in was a breeze. Showed me the two rooms, took my $$ and we were done. Room 9: Larger standard room. Down small hallway in back of house. Has a door that takes you to the courtyard. Nice accommodations for $89/night. TV didn't work. Was an old tube TV. I would have preferred that was working and upgraded to a small flat screen. But our friends weren't staying there to watch TV, so not a star killer for the review. FB&B did get an -1/2 star for the door that takes you to the foyer of the house. It was also broken so the door would not shut without having to lock it every time they came to our room. Room 13: The balcony suite. Great view of street. Loved the day bed in the sitting area. Chair sitting against armoire was a bit weird. Oh wait (moves chair), it's keeping the armoire doors closed..... mmmm, ok. Goes to open window to get outside, from sitting area, gets a splinter trying to do this and hits shoulders on low window pane. What a pane in my arse... corny pun intended. Wish they would have some brass/metal handle on the bottom to keep the splinter from happening. Bed was nice. A little soft for my liking, but I'm a guest in an old home... So no big deal. Bathroom lacked the umph I was hoping for with the suite room. Small, small shower where, me being 5'6 could barely move around in it. I heard my husband bumping around in it while he tried to shower. So it made for good comedy when I was putting on my make-up. Shower head was broken. Water was coming out of the top of the head, around the seam of the head and just about everywhere else except the holes where water is suppose to come from. Oh well. I can take a shower. That's all that mattered. I could tell there was a picture that was on the fire place. Wish it was there... I wanted something to look at when I woke up. Oh well, again. Outside there was not a table. We would out our drinks on the floor and because of the angle of the porch, our drinks would fall over if a breeze moved it good enough. Room was always cleaned after our day out. They did a wonderful job on cleaning. Breakfast: Last time I stayed there was a phenomenal egg dish that was made. I was really looking forward to something similar. Went down to see what was available at 9:00 am, and there was just cereal, bread(s), some fruit and drinks. M'eh. The lack of accommodations and breakfast was the other -1/2 star. Why you ask with the full star deduction after quite a few smaller complaints; because it's NOLA. You don't come for the room, you come for the history and experience. What makes NOLA unique from other old port towns is that there's so much dark and mysterious history you tend to get lost in the enchantment of the grimy streets and artists trying to make a decent living on the street corners. Normally this would be about a solid 3 star rating, but because we're here for making wonderful memories with our friends, the room was not something that weakened the experience. it actually made it more memorable. Thank you, Beatriz and your team for making this a great experience for all of us! She's a wonderful innkeeper and so warm and welcoming.

This place looks like it would be very nice and quaint however I couldn't be more wrong. While everyone here is nice and friendly, the rooms, at least the one that we stayed in was just terrible. Let's start with the carpet. Stained and looks like it was once a light tan cream color but is not a dirty brown. The walls are two different shades of blue, it looks as though someone started painting in here and then just quit. The floors are very sketchy, when you're walking on certain spots it almost feels like you're going to fall through at any moment. But the bathroom is the biggest problem with this room. There is a hole in the way that looks like was fixed but then started breaking through again. The floor in there is also very unstable. It's just not nice at all. I'm sure that the rooms in the main house are way nicer than this, but I'm sure we got this room because we used a Groupon rate so we don't get one of the good rooms, which is crap. If you aren't going to treat all guests the same, discount or not, then don't use a service like Groupon for potential guests and guests that would possibly become repeat customers. We will NEVER stay here again. This was terrible. And don't even get me started on the WiFi, I'm pretty much backed up 4 days worth of work because I couldn't get on and stay online.

So thrilled with this place! I was nervous, because we got a groupon deal for $49/night. With it being so cheap, I thought it might be rough, and I'm so glad I was wrong! Everything about this place was charming! Breakfast is served from 8:30-9:30 and it is low key and relaxed. We had our own entrance into our room, and it had a tv with DVD player, microwave, and mini fridge. The key to our room, also opened the gate. You have to have a key to get in and out of the gate, so don't lose it! I felt very safe the whole time. The walk to the streetcar only took about 3 min.. Just one street over and a couple blocks down. The restaurants in walking distance were awesome, and more affordable than when you go into the French Quarter. We loved the city and want to stay at the Fairchild House again when we come back.

In terms of B&Bs, this a nice, affordable, no frills establishment. One night in the standard room cost me ~$120 (I wish I would have seen the aforementioned Groupon...). Staff was really sweet. The room was "rustic": meaning everything in it was old, but in a cute way. I even checked under the bed for a trundle. And I decided to find the Robert E Lee painting in the lobby "quaint". Breakfast was spartan - but who needs much when the Ruby Slipper and Surey's right down the street, offering some of the Big Easy's best brunch-so-hard options?

I'm updating my review based on my stay for New Years 2013. This place is still a winner. It has charm, hospitality, clean rooms, and an excellent breakfast. The owner is sweet lady with pleasant conversation. I even met a new friend from Berlin. Ill be back for a conference soon. The best part is the privacy. I love places that leave you to your own. Hotels have so many rules. This bed and breakfast is the way to go.

Wow. Sweet, generous, hospitable. Those are the words that first come to mind when describing Beatriz, our hostess at The Fairchild House. She upgraded us to a king room simply because... she wanted to? (Thanks, Bea!) This place is on the funkier side of the Garden District, but that is reflected in the price. The house was built in the 1800's, so yes - the floors and stairs are creaky. The rooms have 12 foot ceilings, and every room has a window air conditioner. The bathroom in our room was recently redone, and it was splendid! (Translation: lots of hot water, ample water pressure, and room enough for two of us to move around.) There is a patio out back along an enormous hedge - I can only imagine it can help you keep cool during the NO summers. The breakfast room has a wonderful old bar as a counter - Beatriz keeps the hutch that used to sit behind it in the reception area. I can only imagine the effort it took to move those in there! Breakfast includes breads, cereals and fresh fruit - along with juices, tea and coffee. The neighborhood, as stated, is toward the funkier end of the Garden District (on the downtown side). This proved to be no problem, however. We came strolling back fairly late many of the nights we were there, and never felt unsafe. Also, its location puts it a block or two away from lots of eateries... and just a block from the St. Charles streetcar line... primo! I am certain that we'll stay here again, the next time we get to New Orleans.

My fiance and I ended up at this charming B&B via a recommendation from a friend who was also staying here at the same time . The rate was reasonable for $275 for 2 nights, especially given its prime location in the Garden district a block away from St. Charles and the street car line. It is also really close to magazine street with its funky shops and bars. The place itself totally has a personality, its not one of those pretentious bed and breakfasts, and it seems to cater to a younger crowd (late 20s to early 30's). Their rate includes a continental breakfast, which I didn't partake in due to the late nights we had during our stay, but I did find a coffee cake lying around, which was pretty decent :-). The rooms also vary in size, our friend's room had a kitchenette, while ours had an antique armoire. The two rooms had a small tv, mini-fridge and comfortable bathrooms and showers and were both uniquely decorated. I also appreciated the high thread count sheets and comfortable four poster bed. Their showers take a little time to heat warm water, but that's expected for an old house. Oh and their courtyard was just charming, it had tables where you could hang out and have a drink before going out. The staff was very friendly and easy to get a hold of as long as you have their number handy as the check in area tends to be empty unless you call ahead. Either way, the value, location, ambiance, amenities, was just great. I definitely plan on staying here again.

I stayed here for 3 nights on my honeymoon. We wanted a place that was close to all the action, but not in the French Quarter. The Fairchild House met all of our expectations--reasonably priced, quiet, cute, and great neighborhood. The staff was friendly, our room was cleaned with fresh towels daily, and there was A/C (New Orleans is HUMID!). I especially loved the fact that even though it is an older building, there were upgrades being made (like a new back staircase that made for easy access to our room without bothering any other guests). There were modern conveniences like a fridge and coffeemaker, but there was also a clawfoot tub and creaky wood floors. I would have no qualms about staying here again. Be sure to take a walk around the Garden District neighborhood--it's beautiful!

Outstanding and authentic accomodation in the Lower Garden District. A short ride to the Quarter on the streetcar and a fun neighborhood make this a good choice. Incredibly comfortable bed and all-around cozy feel to the room. We asked for a special concession and it was given with no hesitation whatsoever - just try that kind of thing at the Hilton.

Fairchild House is a true gem. House oozes character and the owner, Beatrix and her mom, are pure pleasure. We stayed four days at Fairchild and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is located a very short walk to the St. Charles streetcar which came in very handy. It's also a good walk to Magazine Street which we did late at night with no worries. Our room was cozy and worth what we paid. Could stand a little TLC but nothing you would expect from a 200 yr old house. We were given keys for the main gate, getting into the house and, of course, our room. The shower in our room was super sensitive to minor adjustments so it was a delicate balance between super hot and bone chilling cold. Would we stay here again. Heck yeah...plan to.

First of all, I am not a Groupon shopper. I have stayed in the Fairchild House before and it was extremely well priced for the experience. Upon arrival we were greeted by the consierge that welcomed us there, and after checking in they gave us a cheese and wine plate to eat in the garden which made the arrival very pleasurable. The street car only a block away takes you to Canal St. to the French Quarter. We got off the street car and went out to Frenchman St. and Toulouse St.. We returned in the wee hours of the morning to the house and slept well. When we awoke to go downstairs for a nice breakfast with chicory coffee and a few eggs. The cook that was there was very sweet. I recommend tipping the staff unless you're a cheap-ass grouponer that has no money. Overall this is my favorite place to stay in New Orleans when I visit. A "normal" hotel just won't do it for a stay this historic city.

I found the Fairchild House through a Groupon offer... it was my first real vacation in about 2 years. I went to New Orleans with my good friend... we wanted a less touristy experience and the Fairchild House was perfect... charming and great location in the Garden District. Beatriz made us feel at home and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. We loved the B&B vibe, chatting at breakfast in the morning with the other guests and Beatriz... it was a very relaxing way to start the day... considering the partying the previous evenings. We were also close to the St. Charles bus(streetcar is under construction), we only took 2 cabs during our stay. Our last day we wandered in the rain around the Garden District. It was a wonderful trip overall. The next time we go to New Orleans, we are staying at Fairchild House.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at this B&B through a Groupon deal (I think it averaged to about $55/night). For that price, it was amazing. I actually liked the neighborhood -- you felt almost like a local. It's a 3 minute walk to the St Charles Bus and there's a great scene of restaurants and bars to explore. The inn is in a very charming 1800's home. Bea welcomed us -- we were actually impressed on how "on it" she was -- we were running 10 min late from the airport and we got a call to ask if we were on time. Our room was nice -- big vaulted ceilings, antique furniture, a good-sized fridge and a personal A/C, which is key in New Orleans in the summer. We really liked the laid-back vibe here -- housekeeping never bothered us and every time we left, we came back to a clean room :) We never tried breakfast either -- too many late nights! Some things that could be better: :: The TV was new (flat screen) but it was probably the smallest flat screen I've seen and during the olympics, it was a bit hard to watch on it. :: The bed could be a bit more comfortable -- it was a bit stiff and old. :: An iron and ironing board would be nice to have in the room -- we were there for a wedding and it's always nice not to come wrinkled :) :: The wifi was non-existant :( Overall, it was a good experience -- we'll definitely recommend the place to others.

Very nice location for the Mardi gras parades...most of them pass by. Quiet area otherwise and walking distance from a variety of restaurant options. It feels like a safe neighborhood...I walked around by myself during the day and at night unscathed and comfortable. A mile from the french quarter. I only stayed there 1 night, but spent breakfast talking to Beatrice, the owner, who has been operating the property as a bed and breakfast for 20 years or so. She's a doll! Buildings were erected in the mid-1800's, so expect stuff that goes along with that: creaky and drafty with charm and character. The courtyard has so much potential, it would be wonderful with some better landscaping. Needs some basic maintenance, such as in my room: the cracked toilet seat and an old tiny tv. I had a great stay!

My fiance and I were driving through New Orleans on a road trip and it just happened to the the Jazz Festival as well. We were either going to have to pay upwards of $300 a night in the French Quarter or stay in some sketchy neighborhood until I found the Fairchild house. I was lucky enough to book a room at a very reasonable rate. Like they said, the house is old I think it said build in 1848? but it is well maintained. Hardwood floors look nice, there are Mardi Gras displays here and there that add a festive atmosphere. We were 2 blocks from the train line, walking distance to food and even walked to the French Quarter. We were very pleasantly surprised. Oh and the breakfast!! Was wonderful. We different breads, pastries and Beatriz made this egg casserole every morning. It was a great way to get up and kill the hang over before it set in :) Only downside - the WiFi didn't work in our room so we had to go out to the middle of the hall by the router. Just something to keep in mind if you desperately need the internet. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!
