Very very expensive compared to 4 star hotels in the area. Good location by Bourbon street. Staff are efficient, but are hit-and-miss whether they are friendly or not. The lobby is big and could be good for hanging out, but I wouldn't say it was social. Hot water took forever to start in the shower. Private rooms are nice but very basic - definitely not worth the price since you don't get the bonus of the social aspect that I think you pay for.

Excellent location and everything was really great! I was a bit nervous about noise since I tend to be a light sleeper, but we were in one of the private rooms and it was super, I didn't need to even use ear plugs. The room ceilings are really high, modern, and the AC was perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

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.
