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.

I had an exceptional stay at this hostel, easily the best one I've experienced so far. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Its location is ideal, with most major tourist attractions easily accessible on foot. The workspace provided is ample and conducive to productivity. I was also impressed with the cleanliness and comfort of the restrooms and beds, adding to the overall coziness of my stay.

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.
