The charm of staying in an old church is diminished a lot by the garish paintings on the dorm walls, which clash with and detract from the original decor. I slept very badly because there is a door in the corridor that creaks and slams all night - all they would have to do to fix it would be to put a door-stopper under the door. The woman who checked me out was very rude for no good reason. In a town with many hostels these little things are enough reason for me to decide not to return.

It's good for the price but if you're looking for fancy and perfectly clean this is not for you. The people who run this place have obviously thought carefully about the placement of the containers because people partied through the night but the sleeping containers were far enough away that the noise wasn't a disturbance. More signage to help find the place would be helpful. I slept badly because someone kept putting the lights on late at night, but this has to happen in a dorm, yes?

Something about this place makes me nostalgic. I think it might be the combination of linoleum and quilt covers from the 80s. This place is budget accommodation that covers your basic needs without raising prices to funnel funds into unnecessary renovations. It feels straightforward and simple.

The day I arrived there was no one there to check me in - someone had decided to not turn up to work and the manager hadn't bothered to replace them. The staff member who was there later was moody, unhelpful, and rude, except when there were pretty girls around. The day I left they were giving out refunds to anyone who had planned to stay longer because the government inspector had come and decided that everyone had to leave - the implication was that the building wasn't safe.

There pics on the walls are cute and there's nothing wrong with this place that I haven't seen in other hostels, but I've had better stays elsewhere.

Everything about this place was pleasant. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, the place was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the price was right. I will stay there again if I return to New Orleans

This is one of those hostels that is aware of its imperfections and works very hard to make your stay comfortable. It also makes a big difference that the staff are very kind and flexible. The place is a bit out of the way, so they run a free shuttle. The walls are a bit thin, so they let you move to a quieter room. It's a bit shabby, but artwork gives it atmosphere and their new renovations will be a big improvement. The kitchen is small and lacks cutlery, but that's the only real problem.

The room was well laid out, clean and comfortable. I like that the large dorms had room dividers and the bunk beds were solid, so you don't wake up every time someone moved. However, I take issue with a place that says they have a kitchen but only provides microwaves. A simple stove top would have made a big difference. It's also very expensive, and I'm not convinced that a clean dorm room in a good location justifies that cost.

The 32 bed dorm room really makes you feel like a second rate citizen. It's in a basement with no windows and no room light, there was rubbish on the floor, and the shower is timed to turn off every 20 seconds (I counted, it was always the same). Also had trouble sleeping on a bunk that shook a lot.

On the downside the place is expensive, there are ads everywhere, and they've definitely set up some sneaky ways to take your money from you (most notably they give you a tiny towel and then put up ads for renting large ones). I also struggled to sleep because the mattress was uncomfortable and the walls are thin. Things I liked were individual lockers in the fridge, English language movies each night, free public transport pass, professional cleaning on a daily basis, and the book exchange.
