Conveniently located in New Orleans, HI New Orleans Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar. This 3-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation features an ATM, a concierge service and luggage storage for guests.

This hostel is the most amazing hostel I've ever stayed in. Clean, spacious and a lot of privacy when it comes to beds (curtains) and bathrooms (you kind of get your own bathroom, you can lock it, it's not shared like in other hostels). It's also a very social hostel, I've met so many amazing people there, made new friends and the lobby is great to socialize, play games or chill out. They sell snacks and potentially necesarry items like pads there, too. They have locker rooms where you can store your luggage if you have to wait for your bus, train or flight.

The Quisby is a hostel in New Orleans,LA located on historic Saint Charles Ave. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar and relax in the lobby lounge.

Rooms come with a private bathroom. The Quisby features free WiFi throughout the property.

The people who work in Quisby are the nicest people. The people who I run into in Quisby all became my good good friends. We had the best memory in town and created so much fun moments together. A ma'am said Quisby is not 5-star hotel, but it's a 5-star hostel. I couldn't agree more!!! I am lucky that I chose Quisby as a place to stay in New Orleans. I love here a lot.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
