The hostel is impressively modern, new, and beautifully designed. My private room, featuring one full bed and two bunk beds, was surprisingly spacious and well-appointed. Both the room and the bathroom were sleek and contemporary. The location is another standout feature, being conveniently close to the French Quarter, which is perfect for exploring the area. I also appreciated the option to store luggage in lockers before check-in, which added to the convenience. The communal kitchen and dining area, complete with a large fridge, is a nice touch for those who want to prepare or store food. However, there were notable drawbacks. While the provided breakfast (boiled eggs, unsweetened cereal, and bread) was underwhelming, this isn’t a dealbreaker since the French Quarter offers plenty of dining options. My biggest concern was the lack of cleanliness during my three-night stay. The hostel refused to clean the room, citing staff shortages, and the hallways were often overflowing with trash, accompanied by a lingering unpleasant smell. Overall, this hostel has a lot of potential due to its modern amenities and prime location, but the lack of cleanliness and maintenance was disappointing. A stronger focus on housekeeping would make this place truly outstanding.

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
