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 is the perfect place to go to if you only need a place to sleep. They have lots of amenities but I only spent ~4 hours per day there.

Featuring an outdoor pool and deck, India House Hostel offers shared accommodations in the Mid-City district of New Orleans along the Canal St. Streetcar Line. This hostel is 3 km from the Fair Grounds and 5 km from City Park.

If I could give more then 10 I would. When you walk in to hostel you think woooo, it’s fantastic, checkin was quick and staff are mega mega helpful,with regard local area and places to go. Facilities are excellent. It has great art work and an eclectic style (loved it). We cooked at the hostel and ate out local, teas and coffee always available. The transport to French quarter is across the road. I can not praise it enough.

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.

    Fantastic hostel. The staff was super cool, check in and out was super easy (all virtual, no need to give back keys or anything). Great location, all was clean and organized. Definitely recommend for solo travelers, there were plenty of activities and it's a great place to meet new people.
