AAE Bourbon House Hostel Reviews

Great friendly staff. Couple blocks off from some shops and restaurants. 10 minute walk to the street cars and about an $8 cab ride from the French quarter. Would definitely stay there again.

I LOVED my stay, from checking in with Ali, getting a clean room, a tour around, seeing the security measures, meeting all the other guests who were open and fun, getting trip suggestions, throwing parties and going out with new friends to the French Quarter, walking a few blocks to the amazing houses of the Garden District, everything made my stay awesome. Thanks to Ali, Shane, and Ty, and got to say hello and goodbye to Ula. Only thing that was a drawback was the shower drain, but Im OCD :)

I stayed one night here and one night at another hostel in New Orleans. I much preferred this one because it had more of a community atmosphere, the outside doors are locked for safety, the staff was SUPER friendly and helpful, and it was much easier/felt safer to walk to the french quarter from here, though the other hostel wasn't much further. I highly recommend this place if you're going to New Orleans!

Great hostel with amazing staff. The people that work here really care about their guests. They are very helpful and will hang out with you at night at the hostel. The location was good and the neighborhood felt safe. Would stay here again if i returned to N'awlins!

I am in the 6 people room and it only costs $18 per night. There is not enough staff in the hostel, so everything depends on yourself. There is a nice kitchen that you can do almost everything you want to do. The only drawback it is not clean enough everywhere, but it is worthwhile with the price to pay. Strong recommendation if you are a diaos, like me~ haha~

bring lock for locker. the ones provided are not good at all. I didnt lose anything, all of the guests were great. Towels are extra. The water in the bathroom I used never really heated up. The staff was nice and helpful in giving directions around town. pickup at the station was great. thanks for a great stay!

We really loved the staff, the location, the security. We got great recommendations from everyone who worked there. I can't remember names, but one guy told me all the best bike routes, another sent us to Bywater, and another found my phone after check out and held it for me. Perfect location for exploring by bike. Room near door was loud at night, so earplugs are worth it. Bathrooms in the back part are better. Pretty clean for a hostel with sheets and blankets provided.

The staff was really accomodating.

Polish chick that works there was cool. Pretty far from The French quarter although it's only a few blocks from the trolley. We just caught a cab for $10 Over all it was fine

2 bathrooms are a little bit less for so many people.

Ali was our host and was 100% brilliant. One of the loveliest hostels I've stayed in!

I had a wonderfull stay at the AAE bourbon hostel, the staff was lovely and very kind. FOr information a taxi cost 15$ to go down town and you will probably will found someone to share it with! Thank you to the staff to keep this hostel comfy and the energy they spent to make our stay interesting! I happy with my choice and I will do the same choice without any doubt. Julien

Best hostel! Had such a great time here. It's pretty boozy and sociable, if you like that sort of thing. You don't have to though, there were some guests there who didn't drink and party and that's cool too. Can I just say the staff are fantastic too, they were almost like other guests, chatting to us etc, totally laid back. There was a bit of a mixup with my booking when I first arrived but they went out of their way to sort it out for me and it didn't lessen my experience one bit. Stay here!!!

Excellent location, friendly staff and really good outdoor area for socialising and partying.. Very good 'vibe' and feel about the hostel.

Hey, whoever is looking for a cheap, cosy and friendly place to stay, Bourbon hostel is the right place! Some lazy punks will consider 1.5 miles distance from the downtown as a disadvantage.. the walk to city centre down the magazine street is great, safe and with beautiful bungalow style homes... a lots of restaraunts around ;) and wallmart just few blocks away.. now, I think the location turns to be as an advantage. Special thanks to Shane, Alan, Ali and Ty!!!

I was very happy staying at the Bourbon House. Ty, Shane, Ali, and Reese who work there are all awesome, cool, and very helpful. Had a great time at the hostel and in new orleans, meeting new people and seeing new sights. Would definitely recommend the bourbon house. Thanks for making my stay a great time.

There are few bathrooms, so expect some waiting time. The neighborhood seemed kind of sketchy but I found no other reasons to worry too much about it. The hostel has a very interesting environment. It's a long walk to the French Quarter, so take the bus or the street car.

Staff made the stay. Day guy was friendly, informative, knowledgable, available. Ula, evening staff person, was, if anything, even better. She was always busy helping someone, but yet was still availble to others, very informative, and didn't forget to schedule my cab for 4:30 a.m. Will definitely use the facility again.

I had a great stay, and if I had to name a '5-star' Hostel, AAE Bourbon Hostel would be the first place to spring to mind.

Staff was warm and helpful. The hostel was clean and accommodating. Nice kitchen too! Loved it.
