Selina Catahoula New Orleans

The location was great due to the proximity to downtown and the French Quarter. Everything is within walking distance, and the shower was very nice. Tyrell assisted me with checking in and gave me all the information I needed. The rest of the staff was friendly and welcoming. I would stay here again if I should take another trip to New Orleans.

This was a beautiful space. Nice and chill vibe. The place had board games and a bar with very unique cuisine. I had never tried anything like it before but it was wonderful. I was only slightly disappointed by the rooftop bar being closed on the first night. And actually, because of the signage, I just assumed it was closed indefinitely. I didn't realize until the night before we were supposed to check out that it had been reopened.

There was loud music playing until 12:30 throughout the hotel. I was not able to sleep and I did not know this prior to booking.

I was there in the winter and the heat wasn’t working in my room. First night, no one could fix it so I slept with all my clothes on plus jacket. Next day maintenance was supposed to fix it but never did. Staff didn’t make sure I was comfortable. Later another staff member came on duty who was very helpful. She tried several rooms until we could find one with the heat working. (And that was a lot of tries). The location was very convenient but the two male staff members didn’t help at all with making sure I was comfortable.

I asked for a different room due to be placed right behind the front desk and request was denied . The walls are so thin I heard everytime some check in or when the employees were having a full conversation. I don’t recommend and won’t be going back

The management and staff at this hotel were excellent. But the hotel itself needs improvements. Our room did not have a refrigerator as it should have. We had no tv remote on the first day. When we were brought one, the tv didn’t work. A staff member was able to fix this. No ice machines were working on our first 4 days. And God only knows who decided on the paint design for our room but it was terrible. The wall had these design painted on it which looked like large amoebas. Who wants to lay in bed looking at something that is a reminder of bacteria. Not pretty. We did like the location. It is about 8 blocks from the French Quarter, convenient to restaurants, entertainment and within about a fifteen minute brisk walk from everything we wanted to see. Thank you to the staff as they were friendly and helpful.

This is a terrible place to stay. First of all, when a room has a shared restroom, that should be mentioned clearly. I found that after arriving the hotel. The heating and cooling is central. Although they say, heating and cooling included, you get no advantage of that. I could not sleep well because of extra cold room. They don’t have blankets too. Room is very small, and not clean. My room had a corner small window with no certain. Could not sleep in the morning because of sunlight. Room service was bad. Didn’t even come to change the bed sheets and everything. Wifi signal was weak too. Overall horrible experience. Won’t recommend at all.

The Selina Catahoula is a decent place to stay if you’re passing through the city and are staying for a night or two and looking to get a good deal on your stay. However, wouldn’t exactly recommend staying here for a long period of time. From our experience, the room was pretty dingy which didn’t make for the most comfortable experience. Some of the things we noticed and didn’t care for: water took some time to heat up, the A/C unit made noise even when it was turned off, and the rooftop bar — which was pretty loud between the blaring music and people yelling until after midnight. However, I’m sure you can avoid this part if you request one of their indoor rooms for your stay. The staff were really pleasant throughout our stay, they were kind and even provided us with recommendations on where to spend our time. While I didn’t love our room, the staff, along with the very walkable location of the hotel, made up for this. But we likely wouldn’t stay here again.

There’s a rooftop bar that is comically loud above the hotel rooms. Rooms were small, and they had some pest issues (drain flies in the shower). Since the shower is open to the room the flies were all over the room. The decor and everything was nice, and it’s a great location for the price. Fine for a night or two but wouldn’t want to stay there much longer than that.
