India House Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Though the atmosphere and the staff were fine, I stayed in a private room and I didn't find it great to be honest. There wasn't even soap provided in the bathroom and the best was very springy with a wooded box shoved underneath to keep it up. It was not comfortable. The heater provided was also miles too small for the room - bit of a problem when it got cold on my last night.

It was my second stay at the India house and I will definitely come back again when I'm in new Orleans. Great location to meet people and have fun

Cool Place.

Excellent place, very fun stay and really friendly staff!

This place was like its owe little universe. Awesome staff & yummy food & totally felt safe being there. Just be careful walking around the neighborhood at night.

Great place.i stayed at India hous for one night, stayed with 3 other people in one of the private rooms and it was just perfect, the hostel itself is just what you would want from a hostel, a place full of friendly peoPle and great vibe. The couple of guys at the front could really be a little bit more helpful and friendly. They have a little kitchen food area outside with some great food for sale with great prices...the courtyard it's perfect to meet others or just chill.

The prototypical hostel! It was like living in one of the crazy coed stoner frats at Dartmouth (which I sort of did, for a time). I was there during a slow period and slept very well; however, I have the best ear plugs on the planet, bring eye shades, and am a paranoid crazy who sleeps with her keys in her pillow. Loved the cat.

Excellent atmosphere!!

My room was dusty, not enough shade, leaking. So my stuff got wet. Breakfast was okay but always late. I think price is fair though.

great place

Loved it! Stayed in a dorm and a private room, both were clean and comfortable. The staff here are absolutely fantastic! Great value for money.

Long wait for the bathroom but everyone was very polite about it.

Loud guests.

very good

Awesome hostel! I had an amazing time there. It's got a really nice atmosphere and vibe. The staff are really cool and helpful. The bathrooms were cleaned often, although the hostel could probably benefit from adding another bathroom or two. The location is good. Not walking distance to the french quarter, but the streetcar literally stops outside the hostel and you can go anywhere for $1,25. I would definitely recommend this hostel if you're looking for a good time.

Very well organized. I liked the people I met. I'm over 40 and thought it might be awkward, but there were plenty of people people over college age. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Great hostel. It's a lot of fun.

It doesn't score amazingly but this is a MUST STAY hostel. Its good parts outweigh its weaker aspects ten fold. Great atmosphere and character. It has everything you need and more. There's plenty of room so you can lounge about, watch a movie, sit by the pool or have a few drinks out the back. Fantastic.

Great place to stay in many ways. The only thing I would like is some encouragement to all guests to be mindful that others may want to sleep during normal sleeping hours and to be considerate of that. I did not see any postings anywhere to this effect nor was anything mentioned the two times I checked in. Also, please, please try and be more considerate of the environment and get reusable cups and silverware. The recycling could also be vastly improved upon. Otherwise a really nice experience.

Great place! I'll definietly stay there again if I come back ever. Beds were a little uncomfortable in the 8 dude room, but for the value it was pretty sweet. It would have been awesome if the beds were made on arrival, but that is just the laziness in me talking. Your hostel has great character and awesomely helpful staff. They are the contributing factor to a future return visit from me.
