Pleasantly Surprised!

This was my first stay in a hostel. Had at home privacy feel in the bedroom and great vibes in the common areas. Everything was clean. I will definately be coming back with my friends. I was pleasantly surprised. The location is perfect for Bourbon st. and parades.

This was my very first time staying in a hostel. I stayed over Mardi Gras and couldn’t have choosen a better location. I seen reviews on tick tock and had to try it out. The facility was clean, quiet and properly ran. The front desk ladies were very friendly and helpful with getting checked in. The area felt safe as we had a key card entry, and events were all within walking distance from hotel. Parking garages were also nearby. I will definitely be back again!

Good hostel but.....

Hostel was clean, eco friendly, all but one staff member were great, was nice to be able to leave luggage in locker room after checkout until ready to go to airport and the rooms were designed comfortability- only complaints price was a little for not being able to change the settings on the ac/heater settings were locked we asked the front desk to unlock they said no they had to change it we asked them to turn down the ac to 69 was told can only go down to 70 and then she never changed it for us so room was a little too warm insulation not so good in the old building so added to humidity and too warm for us and towels would not dry out becuae of the humidity, internet didnt work so TV wouldn't work either. Would stay again truthfully if price was lower or for the going price if could control ac/heater and tv and internet worked.

Uncomfortable

Too many hoops to jump through and the air was not working properly. It was hot in our room and the air remained on 65 but 77 in our room. For $940 for the night, Superbowl or not, it could have been better. Plus we had to park almost half a block away and walk with luggage. The hotel said parking available. It needs to specify on the hotel website that it is not on the grounds. We will not stay there again.

It was okay. The only thing great about it was the bed was extremely comfy so there is that. There was no where to put my big duffle bag so that is something to improve on is have bigger spaces to lock up bigger bags because of the middle aged men in my room trying going through my duffle bag.
