Great for a hostel.

It was fine. I have never stayed in a hostile before so I didn’t really know what it would be like. There were no issues at all, though.

Amazing place full of amazing people. Stay here if you want to befriend other cool likeminded travelers from around the country/world. Staying at India House made our trip to New Orleans so amazing!! Will stay there any time I’m back.

Solo female traveler

Place had awesome vibes. Pool was a nice oasis after sightseeing. Loved the common areas. Plenty of outdoor seating and great coffee. Also the area is great. Walking distance to great restaurants outside the tourist area and I even walked to city park. Def recommended

The most unique and cozy place

Wow, so well decorated! Such a unique place with a cozy outdoor space and swimming pool. Lovely people as well, which made me and my brother feel right at home. We had a nice little room to sleep. Definitely will book here when coming back!

Really enjoyed my stay here.
Jesus, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Structure appeared extremely old; super trippy decor; interesting and unique - very different from typical budget lodging such as a Motel 6. Almost a caricature of a hostel. Might not appeal to all. We stayed in the building next door (I think they called it the "balcony" room - no balcony. It was very small, quiet and we felt safe. Bus and trolley lines were very close. Overall vibe of the place was great.
Alena, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked that they had coffee and a full kitchen we could make our own meals. Very clean and surprising very safe. Could use better pillows and could provide there guess with wash cloths not just a single towel.
Sally, 1-night trip

Had an amazing time at India House! It really was a true hostel experience, getting to talk to many travellers of different walks of life. Easy streetcar access and the neighborhood was very safe.

Great.deal
Juscelino, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall facilities appeared extremely old; fun decor and probably historic - interesting and unique. We had a private room on the second floor which was quite large with two bunk beds on either side of the room. The floor at the center of the room was significantly bowed - it had separated from the wall by about 2 inches and light from the room below was visible and flickered from the first floor ceiling fan. We did not feel safe walking in the center of the room and kept to the edges. Everything else worked for us but if we were to go back, I would avoid the upper floors of the main hostel - they have another house next door, and maybe cabins in the back (might be for staff thought...)

Everything was perfect. Would always go back there
Marion, 1-night trip

My new favorite hostel 👍
nadiya, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

It would’ve been a nice and interesting place to stay if there was more upkeep. I also found a syringe and needle in one of the toilet stalls, also the showers were behind a screen door which exposes them to the outside which is not a pleasant experience for winter temperatures.
Sydne, 4-night trip
