Good location, just a few minutes walk from French Quarter, comfortable beds with a curtain for your privacy, spacious rooms, always clean bathrooms, free breakfast(pretty basic one but if you are a budget traveler that’s a good start to a day), friendly staff.

We really loved this cozy place with their nice backyard. The staff were great and gave us lots of useful info and recommendations. Information provided on the board of the hostel about restaurants and events were great. We loved Taj Mahal the cat! :)

We had a private room that had a bunk bed, which was comfortable. There is a big shared kitchen that was well equipped. Only the knives were very dull. Happy hour is from 7 pm to 8 pm with free drinks and board games, which created a great atmosphere and gave a chance to connect with other guests. After happy hour, there are events, like pub crawls or guided tours. The personal was very kind and helpful. Especially Lukas put in great effort in making sure we had a great stay.

All hostels in New Orleans

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The reality was better than the pictures, cleanliness, privacy, location of the place, staff, breakfast, safety, everything was perfect. I was in New York and there was a hostel with the same name. I stayed there for several days, but this hostel in New Orleans was the best in everything. How I wish New York had a place like this.

    I like everything in this hostel. The kitchen is fully equipped, very clean and roomy. The bathrooms are always kept clean with many clean towels. There are a lot of seats/sofas in the lounge and dining room. I like everything in this hostel. It is the best hostel that I have been in USA so far. Thanks to the manager and all staff working in the hostel. You guys have done a great job.
