Exceptionally well thought out and executed modern hostel. Management of entry, lockers, toilets and showers is very effective. The beds are comfortable and have good privacy in the dorm with their own shelf and charging points, dorm is well laid out and set up for changing without disturbing other sleepers. showers work well, left luggage room is simple to use. Great Ambience and music in the background (non-stop 80s) and decor.

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.

Very cozy environment! Close to the Greyhound bus station but a bit far from the city, that’s however the best value you can get for the price :)

India House Hostel is a suprisingly good choice for low budget. Next to the Canal street and the streetcar-stop downtown is in the doorstep. It is friendly, eclectic, multicultural and well-equipped. The staff was informative, nice and 24h reachable. The pool and the gardenpond is an amazing part of the exotic yard. Well-equippped kitchen, 24h free coffee, wide selection of sleeping possibilities, self-laundry. Wifi is preatty fast. Really enjoyed our stay, thank You!

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.
