No complaints about this conveniently placed home away from home in the heart of Downtown New Orleans. Always enjoy my stays here and with a genuinely friendly and welcoming staff, as well as an almost guranteed meeting of other guests that come from various parts of the world, you may very well find yourself making at least a few friemds by the end of your stay. Bonus points for the fully stocled kitchen and daily breakfast, and also for the attached restaraunt next door. A perfect gem of a hostel that is hidden in plain sight, just a trolley away from the Mississippi River and Bournom Street! :)

I've visited two other HI locations and this was by far the best. Lots of amenities, great common areas, and bathrooms were kept clean. Very convenient to public transportation and in walking distance to lots of attractions, food, and shopping.

This was my first time staying at a hostel anywhere and as a single, black female I was not sure what to expect but I read so many positive reviews about this property that I decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint! I felt safe, welcome, comfortable and everything was so clean. I've already recommended it to multiple friends and will continue to do so! Highly recommend
