Clean:

"Not the most cleanly of places, so maybe pack your own sheets and bring your own pillow, but it was a badass place place." — source Hostelworld

"The bathroom has a mildew smell and the back yard where the pool is does not look as clean as the pictures on the site." — source Hostelworld

"Understandably with everyone filtering in/long term residents it's hard to clean, but I'm rating what I saw." — source Hostelworld

"Great character and a real buzz but if you like clean and super safe them you would feel uncomfortable." — source Hostelworld

Service:

"Great set up, and super friendly staff who put on a great night's entertainment and are full of useful info and ideas to help you make the most of the city." — source Hostelworld

"Casual and friendly staff, although sometimes a bit hard to track someone down when i had questions." — source Hostelworld

"Friendly staff hosting a unique, yet clean hostel." — source Hostelworld

Location:

"Only downside is that it is in a slightly dodgy area - a lot of building and houses nearby are still boarded up and walking to the store at night can be an adventure - but the bus runs into the city from the corner in 10 minutes." — source Hostelworld

"The pool area and backyard is great for having a beer before heading to town. The location is good because it is right next to the streetcar heading for the french qt." — source Hostelworld

"We stayed for 3 nights, four days and although the hostel is located a little outside of the French Quarter there's a streetcar that takes you right there." — source Hostelworld

"Has a pool which is awesome but would be even more awesome if the little shed in the corner of the pool area was converted into a bar." — source Hostelworld

"It is a little bit off the beaten path, but the streetcar to French Market & downtown is right outside the door Come and stay a while." — source Hostelworld

"The location is pretty sketchy and a bit far b/c you can get a place in the quarter for about the same price as a private room here." — source Hostelworld

"We could leave our luggage there for one whole day at no cost." — source Hostelworld

"Oh, and you can't beat the price." — source Hostelworld

"not the cleaniest in the room (double private) but "easily the best hostel i've ever stayd in" the hostel is like a bar in itself and in fact better then most of the bars on bourbon street." — source Hostelworld

"A bit lax on security, the front door wasn\'t locked and neither were the room doors but most people there were trustworthy sorts so it was never a problem." — source Hostelworld

"My only complaint is that there was only one tiny lamp in our room and it was hard to see at night, but besides that, great." — source Hostelworld

"Some of the rooms and toilets were outside which was a bit strange, apart from that it was very laid back." — source Hostelworld
