During my 4 weeks spent in the USA, this was without a doubt, the best place I stayed in. For what you're paying you get so much in terms of free services such as breakfast, social events on the daily, and occasionally people just heading in giving everyone free wine and beer. The atmosphere was so incredibly wonderful, everyone says hello as you walk past. The hostel collectively comes together at night to hang out on the balcony and vibe. The place has a fantastic New Orleans design with the backyard and exterior painting, There is also a CAT and a spa, this joint has it all. The workers are super friendly and do really well in making you feel like you belong with everyone else. Social events like pub crawls and bike rides are held frequently and really entice you in joining in even if you're nervous. I can't honestly express how much I fell in love with this place, I never wanted to leave. WILL CERTAINLY BE BACK IN THE FUTURE.

They saved the day as I would have been homeless otherwise due to my original hotel selling me out!

All hostels in New Orleans

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The reality was better than the pictures, cleanliness, privacy, location of the place, staff, breakfast, safety, everything was perfect. I was in New York and there was a hostel with the same name. I stayed there for several days, but this hostel in New Orleans was the best in everything. How I wish New York had a place like this.

    I like everything in this hostel. The kitchen is fully equipped, very clean and roomy. The bathrooms are always kept clean with many clean towels. There are a lot of seats/sofas in the lounge and dining room. I like everything in this hostel. It is the best hostel that I have been in USA so far. Thanks to the manager and all staff working in the hostel. You guys have done a great job.
