Property Description

The emphasis is on cleanliness and sustainability, while remaining budget-friendly. At Site 61 you will find a friendly staff, free Wifi, cameras that monitor the public areas, complimentary coffee and tea, and continental breakfast on weekends.

.The buildingl was built about 1912 as a family residence and a nine-room / one bath rooming house.

Then it was redesigned and renovated, to add modern conveniences, such as air conditioning and more bathrooms, while preserving many early-20th century features. There are great restaurants nearby, free street parking, and convenient public transportation.

Very Good

Site 61 was a nice time:) Cass at reception was the best and so helpful! It was cool to stay in a historic house that survived Hurricane Katrina (you can even see the waterline on the wood). The location is not safe to walk outside around at night and it’s not located in a very fun/cool area. As a solo female traveler, I ended up ubering most places, especially at night. I loved the back patio and the tall ceilings of the old house!

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. To be fully transparent, I don’t typically stay in the room, other than to sleep, anywhere while I’m out of town just because I like to make the most of my time. But the hostel was very clean, the staff was kind and attentive & I have zero complaints. I would recommend.
