New Orleans Hostel - Marquette House Reviews

A good value for the money I guess. I decided to overlook past comments about cleanliness and cockroaches because they were all during the summer. I thought it would be fine in the winter. There was a giant cockroach in the bathroom one night, and baby cockroaches were crawling in and out of the brick wall right behind our pillows. There were holes under the sink that make it easy for them to come in and out. The bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned, dust and hairs. I have a rash and bites.

Nothing sexier than a hostel on Carondelet!

We liked our dorms. The staff were helpful, it was easy to take the streetcar to french quarters, we had no bedbugs. I've seen better dorms, but not for this money. I would stay there again.

The hostel staff instead of working was drinking with the guests. The value for the money wasn't worth as it seemed overcharched for holiday. Location was far off the French qtrs. Unless other hostels are not available or oVerbooked that's the only reason I would stay

The beds were a little weak, but the staff was great. Great value for New Orleans.

This is a good place to stay for big events like New Years, Mardi Gras, and Jazz Fest, but after those events it gets down to people who live there and you hear the same stories over and over again. I enjoyed my stay, but would definitely have plans of places to go and see outside of the hostel!

Fantastic staff! Extremely helpful and friendly. Made my stay much more comfortable despite there were No computer, no wifi, no stove and no soap in the bathroom... :(

We stayed in a private room and it was quite spacious, but there were bed bugs! Watch out!

There wasn't any soap in the bathroom near the kitchen. I told the staff several times with no results. I have stayed here several times before and was sad to see the changes. No TV, no internet, no hot plate for 4 days.

I got bedbugs and was threatened by a crackhead roommate all in the same day. If you're a college student looking for a peaceful place to sleep, don't bother. This Hostel is populated by transient drunks and drug addicts.

I had stayed in this hostel, after then, I had skin problem. the bed and room was not clean. there was 8 cats that I didn't know the owner in the garden. bed was not clean and too old, bathroom was also, garden has 8 dirty cats.. it was impossible that I use internet. no wifi.. Only staff was kind.

Older building...pretty basic hostel, nothing fancy but good place to stay. Staff is friendly, courtyard has seating area to talk to others...location is right off of St. Charles..use the street car to get to the French Quarter or other basic attractions. Been there twice with no problems.

I've been going to this place since I've been visiting New Orleans on and off sicne 1996 even after hurrcan Katrina , a year after words. It 's the best lowest price hostle i ever been too.

I was a little nervous at first, given some less-than-great reviews of the place (bedbugs). But I had a great experience. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and you can't beat the location. I'll definitely be back someday.

When I arrived I was greeted by a guy at reception who was obviously drunk & was struggling to even stand up & he advised that they had been really busy & my dorm may not have been cleaned yet, which fair enough if they had been busy, I can live with. When I got to my dorm it was worse then he had advised. Still I thought ok well they will clean it tomorrow if it was missed today. Bare in mind I was there for a few days & not once was our dorm cleaned because none of bins were emptied.

My friends and i loved staying in this hostel. We stayed in the 16 person cabin but found we had plenty of privacy. The locatuon is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

The room was spacious and well furnished, but there was a running tap in the bathroom which was not fixed. staff were helpful enough but defensive if you complained. location is good for the streetcar but not walking to the french quarter.

Great place to go when wanting to explore some of the New Orleans most people don't usually think of.

I wasn't given any linen or pillows restricted office hours ment I had to wait 5 hrs with luggage and also after checking out me flight wasn't leaving till late afternoon and I could not store luggage there because office closes all day

This is my second time at the Marquette House, as I also stayed here with a volunteer group during Spring Break. The group facilities were great and we had a good time then, and I had a good time this time. Kitchen was a bit small and limited, but there are so many cafes within walking distance, that I never even used it. Convenient to downtown and the French Quarter, and although one can walk there if you don't mind a long walk, I took the St. Charles streetcar just around the corner.
