6/10 Good

It was ok. We got there late, like 10pm. Staff seemed irritated and said one of my rooms was no longer available. My Uncle who can’t climb stairs was told he had to have a top bunk because his bottom was given away. He slept on the couch downstairs just to be told the next morning that his room was still available. She was like I know for sure because I prepped it. We followed her and sure enough it was ready and this was at 9am. He slept sitting up on a couch all because someone was sleepy I guess.

10/10 Exceptional

A very unique property, with a mish-mash of quirky rooms and buildings combined to make a hostel. The price is great for what you get. No concerns with cleanliness or bugs (it IS a humid environment, in the South, so I was expecting at least one or two roaches or lizards, but there were none, even outside in the courtyard/common areas). The only issue we had was our lightbulb went out one evening. The staff didn't tell us that we'd have to be present for the maintenance guy to come replace it. So, we left for dinner for the evening and came back late that night to it not being fixed yet. Had to use a flashlight we had brought i order to see in our room. The next day, we asked the same staff person when it would be fixed, and THAT'S when she told us we needed to be in our room when maintenance comes. She sent maintenance right away, and the issue was fixed (although she did not seem concerned with the lack of communication about the rule). Otherwise, it was a fabulous stay: budget-friendly and less than a block from the streetcar line into downtown. Would definitely stay again!

Very free & easy hostel. Lots of facilities including laundry. Trolley stop very close so very easy to get into N.O although the ticket machine, also close by, took a lot of patience to work out ! Don't stay there & give a bad review. Do your research first & you won't be disappointed.

Our stay at the hostel was a good experience. We felt at home and felt like Family. We enjoyed the yard and games, and the convience to uptown. Lee checked us in to our Room, and out. He was very patient, and Shell was very helpful. Will be back again

Fantastic value
Very clean, great price and decent location (1 min walk from streetcar stop so can get to French Quarter very easily). Staff very friendly and polite, no issues at all with shared bathrooms, never once had to wait for the shower or toilet and again, all very clean. Aircon in the rooms, when I went the hostel was fairly empty so not that social but may just have been time of year. All-in-all it’s a great option at an unbelievable price.

The place is not like the pics! Definitely not ideal for a safe stay. And as cleanliness not acceptable for business to par. No working AC and room was bad for description for size quality.

The buildings and rooms were unique and private. I wish we could have used the pool but we were a little self conscious because of all the young adults.

Good value for the price!
The overall experience was good for the price. They have a full kitchen and a laundry room which were very convenient. They provided good customer service. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so they gave us an upgrade.The room was clean and the bathroom as well. The house needs better maintenance & cleanliness.
