5/5 stars

Definitely a nice place to stay if you are solo traveling or traveling for work and need a quick place to stay. You do share a room with other people (like gender) but the people typically stay to themselves, and the beds are clean and pretty comfortable! You get a spacious cubby space to store your items (bring a lock - if you want extra security), multiple outlets to charge your devices, they provide towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. The bathrooms are clean and they clean them often. I enjoyed my stay here. There’s things to do in the building and they serve breakfast every morning. I was unsure about my stay at first as I have never stayed at a hostel before but for it to be on the strip (as I call it lol) or real close to bourbon street and all the busyness, it was a great choice. It can be noisy from the outside but it’s the typical noise you would hear anywhere but they do provide earplugs if you can’t adjust to the sounds of the night. The guest service is pretty easy and quick when checking in and there is someone always there and willing to assist you. They don’t have parking which can be a downside if you are driving but that’s the only con honestly.

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!
