Very good location. Very welcoming staff and Vibe from other travelers. I was blown away by how clean the entire place was as well as the rooms. They offer a free Continental breakfast everyday which was a total surprise and great start to our day. Their kitchen area is superb and super well equipped. This kitchen area offers guests the opportunity to collaborate on meals and get to know each other. The hotel staff are professional and always use very sanitary hygiene practices. The room was super spacious and offered larger beds with adequate height between the beds. The lighting in the room was well thought out. There were three large benches across from the bunk beds that were great for laying out some clothes or sitting on to tie up your shoes. Those seem like simple details, but after staying in countless hostels worldwide, the difference is in the details. They had an abundant number of private bathrooms all over each floor. We never had to wait for bathrooms to free up. Every bathroom had a private shower with a stack of bath mats. The main area in the main floor lobby is comfy and a nice spot to plan out your day ahead. They have lots of authentic information posted all over this lobby with local tips. New Orleans is an amazing city! I found this hostel to be worth the money, and ranks in my top 3 hostel experiences worldwide.

The place is exceptional for solo travellers willing to meet new people. This may sound like a corny cliche but it really does feel like a family, and the place feels like a big old house where they're all living together. The staff are just like fellow guests, joining into all the fun. Very sociable and charming place.

They saved the day as I would have been homeless otherwise due to my original hotel selling me out!

India house felt very welcoming to everyone. The personnel was just amazing. We got a great introduction from Bonnie, Lee was amazing guy to be around and we became quick friends with Jaz. The whole house is a neverending surprise. It's also very close to the street car stop so it's easy to get to the centre. We also had a great time at the pool. Thanks to all the workers who made us feel so welcomed!

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.
