AAE Bourbon House Hostel Reviews

My girlfriend and I stayed for one night in a twin private. The room had 3 twin beds, which was a lot considering the size of the room but we were only there to sleep and it was clean. Everyone, staff included, was extremely accommodating and friendly. Overall great experience.

The atmosphere and friendliness at this hostel were exceptional. The staff immediately made us feel welcome and at home and this attitude rubs off on everyone, resulting in one of the friendliest hostels I have ever stayed in. The only downsides were that our bed sheets were covered in hairs (which we spent about 30 mins picking off) and on two occasions there were dead cockroaches in the corridor outside our room. However, after stoically ignoring these things we had a very good stay.

This was the most amazing place I've ever stayed because of the staff and atmosphere. Alan and Ula facilitate the creation of a close community with fast and meaningful friendships. NOLA is an amazing place to visit, but I doubt I would have had as much fun if I had stayed anywhere but AAE Bourbon Hostel. Thank you Alan and Ula!

Without a doubt, the most fun I've ever had at a hostel. The staff were awesome fun!

The hostel is kinda dirty but the staff are cool.

Everybody was great! Ula, Reese, Kelly, Allen and Ali! The staff was essential to the fun of the place.

Had a great stay and the staff is very welcoming and helping, Allen stayed up all night to wait for my bag to arrive! ps think I left some beers (arbita light) for you in the outside fridge

Awesome hostel, right by a walmart and a 20 min walk from burbon st. Met some great people - the staff is awesome (especially Ula) and had a great time. Thanks!

The atmosphere was great. The staff was really nice, esp Reese. I like the pancakes in the morning. However, it's not in the garden district like the website says and it's also much more then 20 minutes to walk to the Quarter. Our bags got wet when it rained and they did not provide a pillow or blanket to my companion. There were also cockroaches; deal breaker.

I really enjoyed staying at Bourbon House

Big up for the stuff guys ... all in all i really ejoyed the stay there. It was awesome

Very good hostel. Nice outdoor patio area, good kitchen, and free pancake breakfasts every morning are great! Location is good, but not great, a short walk from a nice stretch of Magazine St. and a 25-minute walk from the French Quarter. It is very crowded, and hard to find bathrooms during peak morning and evening hours. Our room was also a bit packed. Overall, good experience though.

Loved this place! The location in the Garden District is convenient to nearby bus routes and a Wal-Mart. The Garden District is artsy and has a lot of little shops and restaurants. The French Quarter is a 25 minute walk or a 10-minute bus ride. The hostel employees we remember by name--Ali, Alan, Ula--along with the other employees we met were helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The only complaint is that other guests were inconsiderate and made noise, but that happens at any hostel. :)

Amir, Alan & Ula were incredibly helpful! All three gave plenty of recommendations for things to do in NOLA. Will definitely stay here again if I can make another trip.

Great spot! Alan and Ula were both super warm, helpful!

This place is great. I love the homey feeling of the hostel, and the pancakes for breakfast are a great touch. Kelly did a great job of getting us checked in and settled, and Ula was wonderful in the day time with making sure everyone was having a good time. I really like the staff and the value for the money here.

Staff were very kind to provide transportation to and from the bus station. Pancakes were good but would have appreciated more options for breakfast! Thank you:)

Friendly staff and cleaner rooms than most hostels I've been to, although the bathrooms could have been cleaner. Fridge was a convenient touch for storing leftovers. Definitely recommended!

I don't think I could have had a better first experience with staying at a hostel. As a woman, I never felt at risk for anything which is a big concern when traveling, and every other woman there seemed to feel the same. The staff was especially helpful. If they didn't know something, they worked with you until they figured it out. I saw Allen the most out of all of the staff, and he definitely made everyone feel exceedingly welcome and at home. He was personable and respectful. Great employee!

The rooms are really but really small. Watch out also because if you stayed at others hostels they might refuse you because they are scared about you bringing bed bugs. Keep that in mind because we almost lost of reservation that way. Anyways great place to stay.
