This was one of the best hostel experiences I've had! I've stayed at HI Austin, HI DC, HI BERLIN, possibly other locations, and many other hostels, in general. One of the most organized and consistently clean hostels ever! The bed was soooooo comfortable. The staff were accommodating of an accessible need of mine and I appreciate it. And it was a delight to run into staff member, Vincent, daily. He was also helpful carrying a hot bowl of food for me from the microwave. I highly recommend this location and will definitely return.

It is the perfect location just on the edge of the entertainment area so no need for transportation and just a stumble back home after a fun night on Bourbon Street.
