10/10 Exceptional

As a solo female traveler, I appreciated the 24 hour person at the front door as well as constant key card locks on every door for entrance. The kitchen was well stocked, the upstairs relaxing area as well as the downstairs recreation areas were great. The bed was the most comfortable hostile bands I’ve ever stayed in and the duvet was a perfect wait for me. I travel to New Orleans regularly for doctors appointments and the Theater and this will be a repeat stay.

10/10 Exceptional

This place was really nice. The staff was really kind and the facilities were all clean and accessible. The room was super clean and quiet, and the bunks were so cozy, which hotel-quality blankets and a really comfortable. I liked the private curtain on the beds and the small cubby with a built in outlet to charge your devices. There are lockers both in the rooms and on the first floor, which was nice because even though checkout was at 11am, I was able to stash my luggage until I left town in the afternoon. Multiple private showers on each floor is so nice, too. I would stay here again and again.

The building was magnificent. An enormous ground-floor lobby, a big second-floor kitchen/dining area, and beautifully designed rooms on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors. Also, you could charge your phone in many places.

This was our first stay in a hostel so we were a bit nervous, but this place surpassed our expectations. The location was perfect! The hostel was very clean, had extra bathrooms, and felt like a safe building.

8/10 Very good

Staff was very friendly, the room was relatively clean and the beds were comfortable. Some of the bathrooms could benefit from more frequent cleaning/checkups, and the shampoo and body wash aren’t the best (although, of course, it’s a hostel, so it might be expected). Would also appreciate milk that could be put in the coffee, rather than creamer powder. Overall a very nice hostel and would recommend it as an affordable way to stay in New Orleans!

The room was sooo clean! I also loved how secure it was. You need a key card to get into the building as well as to the elevator area. And if you arrive before check in or have a later flight in the day they have lockers you can use for your luggage. The staff was super friendly! We will definitely stay again !

It is the perfect location just on the edge of the entertainment area so no need for transportation and just a stumble back home after a fun night on Bourbon Street.

4/10 Fair

The staff was very nice and the room was very spacious. However, our room was on the Rampart street side, which was very noisy in the middle of the night and for about 2 hours, it sounded like there was a garbage truck idling on the street below. Also very disturbing. I found a pubic hair in my towel as I was starting to towel off. After, I was very paranoid and felt the sheets made me very itchy. I paid $90 for a queen. There are a few hotels that had specials for the same night at or close to that price so next time I'll just book a hotel and not a hostel.
