Very free & easy hostel. Lots of facilities including laundry. Trolley stop very close so very easy to get into N.O although the ticket machine, also close by, took a lot of patience to work out ! Don't stay there & give a bad review. Do your research first & you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic value
Very clean, great price and decent location (1 min walk from streetcar stop so can get to French Quarter very easily). Staff very friendly and polite, no issues at all with shared bathrooms, never once had to wait for the shower or toilet and again, all very clean. Aircon in the rooms, when I went the hostel was fairly empty so not that social but may just have been time of year. All-in-all it’s a great option at an unbelievable price.

The buildings and rooms were unique and private. I wish we could have used the pool but we were a little self conscious because of all the young adults.

Good value for the price!
The overall experience was good for the price. They have a full kitchen and a laundry room which were very convenient. They provided good customer service. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so they gave us an upgrade.The room was clean and the bathroom as well. The house needs better maintenance & cleanliness.

I'd say the only one down fall I can actually say is the private rooms should offer a mini fridge for beverages and the property should address the locking mechanisms on all the bathrooms since it's considered co-ed.
