Made for a great first time staying at a hostel. Nice and clean, conveniently located, and provisions were very considerate.

The hostel was fine for us, 2 adults and 2 tween/teen. The bed was probably the worst as it seemed the bottom base was broken and every time we sat on it, it was an awful noise. The bunks were fine other than the ladder wasn’t the best being metal. The majority of staff was pleasant. The teen loved the pool table, and the kitchen had everything you needed. Location was good an we walked everywhere

One of the top 2 hostels in the US. Definitely the most top tier hostel I've experienced in any city any where in the world. ('Cuz otherwise the best is on a farm on an island in Nicaragua. Aesthetic and community spaces above and beyond any other hostel in the US.

Great prices, location and atmosphere. Comfy beds, clean showers, appreciated the lockers in the dorms and the communal kitchen. Friendly staff. The doors (stairway, dorm entry, bathroom) are pretty loud when they close, it would be nice if they could soundproof them better. Bathrooms were pretty clean for the most part, but they could use more shelving to put a toiletries bag, clothing, etc.

Overall I had a good experience. I was very comfortable and the location is fantastic. I appreciated the filtered water but the morning coffee wasn’t great. I like some dairy with coffee and that would be nice. I’m used to hostels having at least a basic simple breakfast.

It was the best hostel I’ve been so far at all. You use your key card for the lockers so you don’t even need a lock. There are plugs inside of the locker as well as next to the bed. The restrooms are clean and there are a lot of them with the shower included. The kitchen is big and modern and the wifi works really well! Would definitely recommend!!

Great location. Right in the middle of the city. Not too far from bus/train station. Staff was mostly friendly and helpful. Met some ìnteresting people and had some good conversations. I felt safe and comfortable as a woman traveling alone. Overall a pleasant experience.

Only there for one night, but all in all, perfectly satisfied. I did get a private room, and it felt like a hotel room. Sparse, but clean and very comfortable bed. My only gripe is traffic and streetcars were a little loud and the curtain doesn't block all the light, but my Bluetooth eye pillow helped. Didn't use the kitchen. Staff was nice. Convenient location—yes, it's a little sketchy, but that's any American city. Never felt unsafe though. Would stay again.

People need to clean up after themselves, in the bathrooms. Flush the toilets before leaving. Put your towels in the bucket. Staff needs to check shampoo and soap containers that were totally empty in the shower area. My overall experience was great with the staff and place. They were very helpful and friendly.

I had an amazing stay at the Hostel. It’s located very central and you can walk basically everywhere. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the rooms and bathrooms were clean. I would definitely come back and recommend staying at this Hostel a lot!!

The hostel has all the amenities you want and expect from a Hostel International facility. Unique to the facility is that they use a single tap card for entering the building and assigned locker in your room. The electrical outlet in your bed is in a recessed space above and behind your head so you can put your stuff in there so it doesn't take up bed space. Bathrooms are individual toilet, sink and shower units so you can have full privacy. Laundry machines dont seem to wash very well.

Very nice establishment. Rather quiet, closer to a hotel vibe. Great location, staff is helpful, I felt very safe there as a single woman.

very rude staff! impatience &irritability are out of place in New Orleans: stay somewhere with character. HI has a cold & clinical atmosphere. *disgusting* coffee. kitchen counters &sinks are VERY low. industrial detergent &sanitiser system is ridiculous &results in ppl simply rinsing their plates with hot water. the beds are comfortable &sturdy, though the dorm curtains are very loud. there are many bathrooms with showers, so it’s unlikely you have to wait long. consistent housekeeping.

Maybe the nicest hostel I've ever stayed at! Very clean; single-occupancy bathrooms; bunks with plenty of outlets and even outlets in the lockers. Highly recommend!

Loved staying here. Nicest hostel I've ever stayed at. Clean. The private bathrooms were great. Love that I didn't need a lock for the lockers.

Great location, helpful staff. Just one glitch: my bed number was changed in the same dorm, I came in to find someone in what I thought was my bed. My belongings were moved out of my locker and taken downstairs. Other than that, a great place.

This place was great. Second time staying here. I extended my stay and the receptionist told me the options listed on hostelworld were not available so i paid the cost of a deluxe 4 bed for a basic 6 bed and ended up not staying because folks in the room were very messy and loud. Felt like the receptionist went out of their way to put me in that situation. Still plan to stay here again in the future.

Enjoyed my stay at the hostel and hope to return at some point in the future. Could be improved by enabling more events/opportunities to meet fellow travellers. But overall, impressed ❤️
