Secure, easygoing stay. I felt safe, could come and go freely, and connect with others when I wanted. Everyone seemed chill and focused on their own trip, no drama.

Great stay!

It was my very first hostel experience. I shared a room with two other people. Bathrooms were very clean, though a strange, musty smell was present in all of them. They were obviously cleaned frequently. They were never out of supplies (shampoo, towels, and toilet paper). One thing I would change is that everyone is expected to wash their own dishes which is not the most conservative way to use water. I did not see any signs about water consumption, either, though there were many necessary signs. I saw one person wash one coffee cup with probably 4 galons of water.

I recommend, just not my style

I have never stayed at a hostel, but would readily suggest y’all for people who do. The bed was comfortable, bathroom clean, though some were closed so sometimes it was hard to find an open one. My room was right at a major intersection, and it seemed the window was really thin so I couldn’t sleep. That was my biggest complaint. The staff were helpful, cheerful and encouraging. For me, I was on vacation and needed a different experience. Nothing against the facility at all. Now I’ve experienced a hostel and found it’s not for me, though I do appreciate what y’all do.

Very very expensive compared to 4 star hotels in the area. Good location by Bourbon street. Staff are efficient, but are hit-and-miss whether they are friendly or not. The lobby is big and could be good for hanging out, but I wouldn't say it was social. Hot water took forever to start in the shower. Private rooms are nice but very basic - definitely not worth the price since you don't get the bonus of the social aspect that I think you pay for.

Excellent location and everything was really great! I was a bit nervous about noise since I tend to be a light sleeper, but we were in one of the private rooms and it was super, I didn't need to even use ear plugs. The room ceilings are really high, modern, and the AC was perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

The lobby and rooms were clean and comfortable. Guests doing their own dishes often left the sinks full of food and there was some questionable cleanliness of dishes. Overall, it was a good accommodation and we would use it again.
