House of the Rising Sol Bed and Breakfast

The House of the Rising Sun B&B is the perfect place to stay while you are visiting and exploring beautiful and unique New Orleans. Every corner of the house has a special set of details that will make you wonder about the history of the city and the music it has inspired over decades. You will feel like you are traveling back in time while sharing these walls with their owners Kevin and Wendy every story of New Orleans they share will make you curious about the city and will enhance your desire to know every corner of it. Our favorite place in the house is without any doubt the Porch with its perfect enigmatic personality, sharing the sky and the marvelous New Orleans sun with a cup of coffee and getting ready to take the Ferry (5min away) to explore and walk the streets of our favorite city. ||If you are a runner the location provides easy access to miles and miles of Levee by the Mississippi River so you can enjoy the view of the city across until you meet the Crescent City Connection Bridge. My favorite part of this experience is to be able to listen to the bands playing in the French Quarter as they meet the sound of the water of the legendary Mississippi River.||We will always choose The House of the Rising Sun while visiting New Orleans, 100% recommended.

We loved every minute of our stay at The House of the Rising Sun. We rented all three rooms for a long and busy weekend (Taylor Swift!). Kevin handled all our requests with grace, and was flexible with our arrival and departure times. It’s an easy ferry ride to the heart of touristy New Orleans, and it was wonderful to return “home” to the Algiers Point neighborhood. Wendi and Kevin welcomed us like family, introduced us to their friends, and let us feel like locals. The neighborhood is beautiful and has wonderful restaurants and a great pub - there was really no need to even cross the river. Otis the puggle made it feel like our home too. I was initially a little uncertain about traveling with my three teenagers to New Orleans, but this was the perfect, safe, and relaxing home base for our trip.

Kevin and Wendy (and Otis) are super friendly and interesting to talk to. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly as well. Breakfast was served each morning, fruit, yogurt, and our choice of morning drink (I chose orange juice). Otis became my buddy before the end of the trip. Of course we spent most of the day out and about. It was writhing walking distance of a great taco bar, and a couple blocks from the ferry making it convenient to get to the trollies that would take you to the French quarter. They had a pool and hot tub as well, though I was more of the hang out on the porch swing kind of gal.

My wife and I were doing a 'Mississippi River' trip to sample the food and music of New Orleans, Memphis and St Louis. We spent four days in New Orleans with our B&B in Algiers Point, across the river from all of the busy stuff. And we are glad we did. The House of the Rising Sun B&B was perfect for us. Quiet, comfortable, a great host and hostess, an interesting historic neighborhood within which to walk and explore, and all just a short ferry ride to the French Quarter and everything else. We would recommend this neighborhood and especially the HotRS B&B to any couple planning on a New Orleans stay.

We would thoroughly recommend a stay at the House of the Rising Sun. Its location in Algiers Point is perfect, just a stones throw from the ferry ($2 per crossing) that takes you in to the heart of the French quarter. Algiers Point itself is full of great bars and restaurants, all within walking distance of the B&B.|The accommodation is excellent, comfortable and homely, the buffet breakfast delicious.|The hosts, Kevin and Wendy are very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable on the area. We have visited the amazing city of New Orleans a few times and are already planning a return visit!

As much as I love visiting NOLA it's safe to say I won't go unless I can stay at The House. |Thankfully after a couple of years' absence for Covid and renovations, Kevin and Wendy's sanctuary "ova da riva" from the French Quarter is back in operation and better than ever, with the rejuvenated back yard and new swimming pool; such a relief at the end of a steamy Nawlins day.|The welcome and the hospitality is warm and the bedrooms and shared areas are comfortable. But it's the ability to get away from the madness of the quarter but still be just a brief ferry ride away that is a big attraction for me. |The food offerings in the Algiers Point area have improved a lot since I was last there, which is another bonus.|The House is also a genuine old school BnB, run professionally and without the risks of the newer fly by night home stay industry which often over promise and undeliver while still charging like wounded bulls.|10/10 can recommend.

Wonderful guest house! I would definitely recommend 'The House of the Rising Sun' if you are visiting New Orleans, this place is a must... It is clean and cosy with a great music vibe. ||Kevin and Wendy are the owners, they are friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about their City. ||The guest house is located in a good safe area and very close to the ferry terminal should you wish to visit the French Quarter.

This was my second visit to this wonderful guest house and I highly recommend staying with the super friendly hosts Kevin and Wendy who made us feel really welcome and were so accommodating to us. And how can I forget our other canine host Otis, who was extremely gracious and friendly! We went to the New Orleans Jazz Fest to see the Rolling Stones and Neil Young and had an amazing time. It was exhausting though and so wonderful to get the ferry over the majestic Mississippi after a long day partying at the festival and arrive back to the serenity of the beautiful house in Pelican Drive to a warm welcome from our super hosts and fellow guests and have a wonderful bath or shower and then sink into the luxuriously comfortable (huge) bed. Kevin and Wendy were also super helpful when my mum lost her Visa and our fellow guests's baggage didn't turn up. They sorted it all out for all of us easily and efficiently. I wouldn't stay anywhere else other than The House of the Rising Sun if I were visiting New Orleans. P.s the breakfasts were delicious and the new swimming pool is a fantastic addition to the house. Thank you Kevin and Wendy, we hope to be back soon xx
