Garden District House

"This was a great place to stay. It was right in the heart of downtown NO in the Garden district a short walk or ride away from the French Quarter as well. We walked everywhere while we were there, but you could also try taking the trolley which stops somewhere nearby. The staff was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and the overall atmosphere during our stay was laid back. We were helped by Lana and Myra when arriving who got us situated and showed us around. We would stay here again especially at the great price we got."

"I recently stayed her when a friend of mine bailed on our trip to San Fran. On a whim, I decided to come to NOLA. I booked literally less than 24 hrs when my vacation started and I got a spot! The stay here was beyond amazing!! It was my first time staying in a hostel and this place exceeded my expectations! It’s a house converted so you get that homey and comfort vibe. The beds and room were clean and great. There’s even a patio in the middle of the house which is great to have breakfast and to read a book. The staff was helpful and great! Nadia especially! She was warming and welcoming! We talked about places to see, eat, bars, shopping, etc. By the end of my stay she wasn’t the staff to me any longer but a friend! I highly recommend this place. Trust me. You won’t regret it!"

"When my friend said she booked a hostel for our trip, I was like... HELL no!! But I wouldn't have had it any other way. It was a great experience! Ended up going out with our roommates we met there and having a blast. Met people from all over. The staff was awesome, Imogen was great and the guy from.. Uruguay? He had a Spanish name but I forgot what it was.. he helped me get my stuff out of a locker that I lost the key to. After that he gave me another lock to use but I didn't even feel the need to lock up my stuff after the first day, everyone in my living quarters was super respectful! I got great sleep as no one hung out in the rooms, only to sleep. I will try more hostels in the future, thanks to this place."

"We loved our stay here. The location is great, short walk to the old mansions and graveyards as well as places to eat and drink. The room was large and clean with air conditioning for days. The staff is excellent and have lots of helpful tips for travelers tucked about. Our favorite part was a fantastic communal back yard with tables and benches, strung lights and even a place for darts and beer pong. After exploring the city, we invited local friends to hang out in the large back yard with us (which is totally allowed) where we had a great time sharing stories with fellow guests. The kitchen is open to make hot cereal and pancakes with hot coffee. I am will absolutely stay there again on my next trip."

"*** not a paid review *** My stay started off a little rough since I had booked through their other house in the French quarter that was the address I was given. They were very helpful getting me to the right place. Upon arrival I was informed that they did not accept credit card (bummer), but they did have an ATM in the house and even deducted the ATM fee from my total. I rented a private room for three nights and it cost me about $180 which is less than a single night would cost in New Orleans for most hotels . Very clean house and very friendly staff. Vanessa was awesome!"
