I really like the location — it’s excellent and close to everything! There are so many great restaurants in the area. However, my experience was disappointing overall. I paid for a private room, but the bed was very uncomfortable and there was too much noise. The bathroom exhaust fan didn’t work either, which made things worse. The receptionist wasn’t friendly at all, acting more like a robot with no personality. With such a great location, I expected a much better stay.

This was one of the best hostel experiences I've had! I've stayed at HI Austin, HI DC, HI BERLIN, possibly other locations, and many other hostels, in general. One of the most organized and consistently clean hostels ever! The bed was soooooo comfortable. The staff were accommodating of an accessible need of mine and I appreciate it. And it was a delight to run into staff member, Vincent, daily. He was also helpful carrying a hot bowl of food for me from the microwave. I highly recommend this location and will definitely return.

Excellent location and everything was really great! I was a bit nervous about noise since I tend to be a light sleeper, but we were in one of the private rooms and it was super, I didn't need to even use ear plugs. The room ceilings are really high, modern, and the AC was perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

Affordable stay near all NOLA attractions

The hostel is near all the local attractions. You can walk, take the bus, street car...a lot of options. It is safe and clean and has card access locks to lockers and storage area, very secure. Breakfast from 8-10am is an added amenity that I appreciate. I don't have to worry about finding a place to eat before I start my day wandering around the city.
