Great staff and experience.

Had a great experience with the room, stay, and staff. Everybody was friendly and accommodating, and helped my first solo trip experience feel like I had friends with me. They readily gave me great recommendations and even showed us around during the daily activities. The rooms and bathrooms were also always available and very clean. I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent hostel experience.

It is a hostel, not a hotel, so do not expect hotel amenities. It was our first hostel experience and it was very good. The location is good. The staff and everyone else were friendly and very helpful. Our room for 2 was clean and comfortable. The WiFi was good. The toilets and showers were good, private, and not dorm like. We had a very good experience and would happily stay there again.

This stay was conveniently welcoming and demonstrated superb hospitality while welcoming an all inclusive environment. I appreciate the hostel having planned events for visitors to mix and mingle. and also being right in the middle of the French Qtr!!! This stay was a steal!! I shall stay with them again in the near future.

Comfortable bunk bed in a five bed dorm room, individual toilet and shower rooms, delicious breakfast (even without the promised bagels and waffles that ran out). Helpful, pleasant staff. As hostels go, this is a good one!

Quick visit to New Orleans

Wonderful location and great atmosphere. We enjoyed having a nice breakfast in the morning. Everything is clean and the staff are helpful and friendly. We could hear the outside noise in our room that we slept very easily. We will be back again.

My first time staying in a mixed hostel. I’m grateful and thankful I was safe. The staffs were cool. Check out time is 10am which is ridiculous. But overall my stay was good.

This hostel was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in! Not only is it clean and safe inside.. the staff is super accommodating and super helpful! They have activities in the evenings that really bring people together so you never feel alone in this big city! I want to, especially think Lucas he’s one of the staff that really made me feel welcomed! Thank you I will definitely stay again on my next trip to New Orleans!

10/10 Exceptional

Close to Bourbon St. I think the property is well thought out. Shared bathroom area, but with separate lockable toilet/showers. I had issues getting in the building, had to call and be let in. 3pm check in and I didn't get the email with my code until after 730pm LoL. They answered the phone and came right down to let me in and tell me my code when I arrived and called the number on the door. My only complaint would have to be that the pool table has broken rails on both ends from people sitting on it. But that's chronic at places not maintained by a pool player. All in all, a great deal for the price and a short walk to Bourbon St.
