Perfect budget accommodation. We were in the Green House and had the "Ocean View" room LOL (it overlooks the pool). The beds were comfortable, the AC worked fine, and it was perfectly quiet at night. Never had to wait for the toilet or shower down the hall. The shower was decent but the sink definitely needs more water pressure. Safe area, had no issues parking the car on the street. Would stay here again.

Good value for the price!

The overall experience was good for the price. They have a full kitchen and a laundry room which were very convenient. They provided good customer service. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so they gave us an upgrade.The room was clean and the bathroom as well. The house needs better maintenance & cleanliness.

I'd say the only one down fall I can actually say is the private rooms should offer a mini fridge for beverages and the property should address the locking mechanisms on all the bathrooms since it's considered co-ed.

Hostel in an old building

It’s a hostel in a very old building. They were nice at the front desk and there was suggestions for live music etc every day. It was clean enough but the building is very outdated and in need of some work. The bathroom doors don’t quite shut. We didn’t use the kitchen, didn’t look vert clean. Pool area was nice. We had a private room for two people, it had two bunk beds that were clean and comfy enough. The room had aircon and lockers (you need to bring your own lock) which I would recommend you to use (most of the doors didn’t quite lock). There’s free parking in front of the building in the street. Area felt safe. The trolley stop is like 1min walk and trolley ticket is $3/24h and goes to french quarter etc. The place is fine if you’re used to hostels!

A very unique property, with a mish-mash of quirky rooms and buildings combined to make a hostel. The price is great for what you get. No concerns with cleanliness or bugs (it IS a humid environment, in the South, so I was expecting at least one or two roaches or lizards, but there were none, even outside in the courtyard/common areas). The only issue we had was our lightbulb went out one evening. The staff didn't tell us that we'd have to be present for the maintenance guy to come replace it. So, we left for dinner for the evening and came back late that night to it not being fixed yet. Had to use a flashlight we had brought i order to see in our room. The next day, we asked the same staff person when it would be fixed, and THAT'S when she told us we needed to be in our room when maintenance comes. She sent maintenance right away, and the issue was fixed (although she did not seem concerned with the lack of communication about the rule). Otherwise, it was a fabulous stay: budget-friendly and less than a block from the streetcar line into downtown. Would definitely stay again!
