- “ If you're looking for a clean bathroom it's definitely not the place! The location is not ideal (even if the street car is close), if I were to come back to NO I would stay near the French Quarters. The neighbourhood is a little bit sad. This hostel is best for groups no solo backpackers. Dinner and breakfast are great! Not expensive and very good! ”

- “ Not the cleanest place but what hostel is? Absolutely fantastic atmosphere at this hostel. Everyone is travelling alone so everyone is happy to hang out with everyone else. Was there for two nights and met some incredible people Serve amazing food very cheap! ”

- “ Settling myself in the 24 hour area (permitted or not) because my friend and myself have been placed in a dorm with a broken a/c. We reported this to the staff who seems to care about absolutely nothing and refused to accommodate us in any way; we made it through the first night hoping it would be fixed and addressed but here we are 48 hours later with NO air conditioning. It would be one thing If it felt nice however in the blazing summer it is cooler outside than it is in our dorm. I am appall ”

- “ Really nice place in a super beautiful area. The staff were awesome and chill, and kind of just felt like other travelers there with everyone else. The biggest issue I had was that there was very little dishware to use that was not made of styrofoam. Styrofoam cups, plates, and bowls were pretty much the only dishware available and it all got thrown away afterwards. That stuff is like cancer to the earth. Travelers usually know how to clean up after themselves; give us some real dishes to use! ”

- “ I've stayed at India House 2 times now, both times a great experience but this time better than my first stay. I appreciate that they are making improvements to the facility as well as the beds and linens, the first time both the room, the bed and linens were rather shoddy. You might want to provide complimentary ear plugs to those folks staying in rooms that face the courtyard, the noise late into the night can prevent light sleepers like myself from getting or staying asleep. Thanks ”

- “ Everything was great, other than there not being enough hot water during a morning shower. As I was one of the earlier ones up, I do not think that it was a hot water capacity issue (besides someone else who took a shower in a different bathroom in the same dorm room said they had plenty hot water). Staff was very nice and there was a very pleasant environment/atmosphere. I highly recommend this hostel. ”

- “ The rooms was super cold and you were only given a sheet and a thin blanket. Had a tiny heater that didn't do much, so during the night it was freezing. The rooms was super dirty. During my stay, Friday to Monday the room was not cleaned once. Would had wished that there was information on hostelworld/hostels.com that there was a 80 dollar minimum on credit card payments. Water pressure was terrible in the showers!! ”
