HI New Orleans Hostel

Really clean, nice communal spaces, and the beds are comfortable with fully closing curtains!

This is what all Hostels should aim to be like. Arguably one of, if not the best hostels I've stayed at or will ever stay at. Everything is clean, well stocked and maintained. The rooms are more than appropriately sized for the amount of bunks in each room. As well as the fact that the bunks are comfy, spacious and private when needed. The also have charging ports in the overhead area. The kitchen and eating area is MASSIVE, clean and very well equipped. The bathrooms are all private single locked rooms with a toilet and shower, so no bumping into other people while exposed in your towel. The hostel also utilises swipe access cards for main entry, secondary entries, your room and your private locker. Which just makes things so easy. It's located in the perfect spot, only a short 5 minute walk from the main food and fun street. You'll be missing out if you don't stay here. It's cheap, lively and has a really safe feeling about it.

This is my second time staying in a hostel. The first time was in HAWAII. This is sooo much better and cleaner! And affordable ! They are a step ahead! Love the privacy blends, the charger inside the bed area, and a light also inside. There is elevators and nearby everything. Wayyy better than Hawaii.

Best hostel I’ve been to. Big, clean and with super comfortable beds. I’ve met great people there.

This is hands-down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! It feels much more like a high-end boutique hotel than a hostel. The renovation of the historic building is stunning—huge windows, soaring ceilings, and everything is incredibly modern and clean. The bunks are sturdy and private, and the bathrooms are nicer than most hotels. 5 stars for the style, the cleanliness, and the upscale vibe!

I only stayed 1 night and was pretty much just there to sleep, so I can't speak to many of the shared amenities, but I was impressed with the lobby—spacious, plenty of seating, staff suggestions, and a little store. Got a private room for what I considered a very reasonable price, especially given it had its own bathroom. Super clean room, TV (didn't use), comfy bed, nice shower. Two small gripes, first (and not their fault) street noise can be a little much (probably varies by room) and second, the shades weren't the best at shading. But I have a Bluetooth eye pillow for such situations. Easy walk from the train and to the French Quarter. Would stay again.
