新奧爾良旅舍 - 新奥爾良

I was considerably older than the 20-somethings there at the same time, but I was accepted and included in the activities to the extent I could do so. My trip was "business", in that I was attending the IRS tax forum for my annual CPE credits. I was also able to have dinner with a very good friend who had moved to NOLA from Houston. This is the second time I have stayed here. Both times were excellent..

The place is very clean. Close to a tram line that takes you to canal Street and the French quarter. Plenty of restaurants around. This is a party hostel but it's totally ok if you just want to do your own thing. Very nice environment all around. The crowd is mostly in their 20s and maybe early 30s but they don't discriminate. Just make sure you understand what to expect. Two fully equipped kitchens. One large media room with a projector and sound system. One computer room. Another smaller media room with a large screen tv and a PS3. Good WiFi everywhere. Social activities every day. The beds are comfortable with good mattresses and good storage areas underneath. Very clean towels. Breakfast with good coffee. I ended up extending my stay. One of the nicest hostels I've ever been to and cleaner than many hotels.

Pleasant hostel, always clean, friendly staff, many activities all week long. Unfortunately, the hostel is in a sketchy neighborhood that feels very dangerous to walk in alone (or even with a partner) after dusk. Also, the hostel page stated that it provided shampoo and soap in the shower rooms; however, this was misleading, as basic hand soap was provided, and some guests left their hair care products behind, but the facility itself did not provide them.

Best experience in hostel in US so far. Staff people were super friendly and helpful and the activities hosted to interact with co travelers were amazing. Definitely I'll visit NO and will stay here soon.

Great hostel. I can see why its repeatedly voted one of the best in the US. Staff were great and made me very welcome. Thanks!
