This was my first stay at a hostel. My expectations were pretty low so I was not disappointed. Instructions received at check-in were clearly communicated. Sleeping accommodations were very basic as expected. Two issues during my visit. 1. The noise.... it was continuous all night long and other guests were noisy in the room even during quiet hours.2. Returned to my area for my second night and found someone was asleep in my bed. I contacted the staff and they reassigned me to another dorm next door. Looking back over my overall experience, I probably would not do it again.
DO NOT STAY HERE!!! 0/10!!! My belongings were destroyed by the hostel owner!!! Upon check in, a staff member offered to change my room after noticing and agreeing to obscene bacterial smell from assigned room. The next day in the new room, I return to hostel to find all of my belongings stuffed in a trash bag and destroyed by my make up and liquid toiletries being dumped inside the trash bag. I contacted the owner on his cell phone, he admitted to putting my belongings in trash bags. He also stated he became aware that the staff member moved my room and I was allowed to remain in the room. I asked him why didn't contact me before destroying my things and once he realized his staff member made a mistake why didn't he remove the liquid toiletries and my clothes out of he bag to avoid damage? He didn't even apologize. Due to the damage to my clothing I had to leave New Orleans early 2 days before my birthday. It was a terrible experience.
If you want to combine the social and communal aspects of staying in a hostel with the authentic experience of staying in a quirky, old New Orleans house (complete with a cozy front porch and lovely back courtyard) this is a good choice!
Rustic elegance in a diverse community. Quiet neighborhood, but has lively bars. Within walking distance to the french quarter, but away from the noise and crowds. The hosts are responsive, nice and helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Awesome location, somewhat unorganized. Could be cleaner.
Best place to meet people when traveling by yourself. Drinking culture and Mardi Gras parades are a block away. Price to value, I don't see how anyone else can beat it.
I had a great time at this Hostel. I went for Super Bowl Weekend. The staff was friendly. The community was fun. The neighborhood was beautiful.
I recommend staying here next time you’re in NOLA.
Excellent staff and friendly vibes! Loved it so much. If you’re not used to bunker beds, it might be a little uncomfy. You’re getting used to it anyway!
The staff were so welcoming and helpful, and made this stay a great experience. The property felt very comfortable and safe, and the private apartment was a great choice.

They advertised the room in the attic/upstairs as a private room, but made the adjacent area a “communal space,” so there was always someone outside of my door doing God knows what, and the walls are not thick. You can hear and smell everything. The owner was not responsive to my complaints and left a cell number that doesn’t seem to be active. It’s an awesome house, it was really clean, but I wouldn’t stay here again. I should’ve gone to a hotel.
I stayed at this hostel during my recent trip, and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. The issue stemmed from the behavior of the receptionist, who openly expressed Zionist views. As a Lebanese guest, I felt deeply uncomfortable and unwelcome throughout my stay, especially when my nationality was brought into the conversation.
Rather than fostering an inclusive and safe environment, the receptionist’s attitude made me feel unsafe and on edge during my entire time at the hostel. A place of accommodation should prioritize creating a neutral, respectful space for travelers from all backgrounds, but this was not the case here.
This experience significantly impacted my trip, and I cannot recommend this hostel to anyone seeking a welcoming and respectful stay. I urge management to address this issue seriously and ensure their staff maintain a professional and inclusive attitude towards all guests.
A uniquely perfect combination of all the things you would want for a "home away from home" when travelling, from the facilities to the location and the welcoming warm and relaxing atmosphere to all the people that host/work there :)
