What guests think

Reviews of HOSTEL Auberge NOLA describe a sociable, budget-friendly stay in a historic house with welcoming common areas like the porch and courtyard, a convenient Lower Garden District location near the St. Charles streetcar, and generally friendly, engaged hosts.

Cleanliness is praised by many, though several guests reported cockroaches and occasional unpleasant bathroom odors. Rooms have comfortable bunks and basic dorm setups, but late-night music and loud fellow guests make noise a recurring issue, and some private spaces feel less private due to adjacent common areas. Service is often warm and helpful, yet a few guests reported unprofessional or unresponsive behavior, including one serious complaint about belongings being mishandled. Expect a lively, social hostel best for tolerant sleepers and travelers seeking value and location.

Very nice the third floor is a little difficult however very nice. I was especially enjoyed the front porch time in the morning. I usually had it to myself. It’s nice and quiet and centrally located, but there is nothing other than a Burger King for coffee and a quick breakfast

If you want to combine the social and communal aspects of staying in a hostel with the authentic experience of staying in a quirky, old New Orleans house (complete with a cozy front porch and lovely back courtyard) this is a good choice!

They advertised the room in the attic/upstairs as a private room, but made the adjacent area a “communal space,” so there was always someone outside of my door doing God knows what, and the walls are not thick. You can hear and smell everything. The owner was not responsive to my complaints and left a cell number that doesn’t seem to be active. It’s an awesome house, it was really clean, but I wouldn’t stay here again. I should’ve gone to a hotel.

If you don’t mind sharing a room with up to nine others, this hostel is an excellent deal. Bed was comfortable, kitchen area was clean and welcoming, outside courtyard is pleasant. Well located one block off St. Charles streetcar line, close to local restaurants and Mardi Grad parade route. Volunteer staff person (Maelle) was particularly delightful and helpful.

Best place to meet people when traveling by yourself. Drinking culture and Mardi Gras parades are a block away. Price to value, I don't see how anyone else can beat it.

It was a great place to party for the young international people! I met some great young adults enjoying them selves. As a older traveler I found it to be refreshing! The customers were very respectful and caring of each others wellbeing! I loved my short stay! I was well rested and recharged! and

A uniquely perfect combination of all the things you would want for a "home away from home" when travelling, from the facilities to the location and the welcoming warm and relaxing atmosphere to all the people that host/work there :)

Loud music until 10:30pm then people being loud and disrespectful during the night. Woke up toooo a guy snoring (not the fault of the hostel) if you snore maybe you shouldn’t stay at a hostel! I woke up at 12:30 toooo people downstairs talking very loudly. Went into the bathroom toooo find two cockroaches on the sink! Went back toooo bed slept till about 4:30 when I got up toooo use the bathroom again toooo find a cockroach on the other sink in the bathroom! Gross disgusting smell coming from the stall. Not sure what people eat these days but maybe invest in some strong scented air fresheners

This was my first stay at a hostel. My expectations were pretty low so I was not disappointed. Instructions received at check-in were clearly communicated. Sleeping accommodations were very basic as expected. Two issues during my visit. 1. The noise.... it was continuous all night long and other guests were noisy in the room even during quiet hours.2. Returned to my area for my second night and found someone was asleep in my bed. I contacted the staff and they reassigned me to another dorm next door. Looking back over my overall experience, I probably would not do it again.

I stayed at this hostel during my recent trip, and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. The issue stemmed from the behavior of the receptionist, who openly expressed Zionist views. As a Lebanese guest, I felt deeply uncomfortable and unwelcome throughout my stay, especially when my nationality was brought into the conversation. Rather than fostering an inclusive and safe environment, the receptionist’s attitude made me feel unsafe and on edge during my entire time at the hostel. A place of accommodation should prioritize creating a neutral, respectful space for travelers from all backgrounds, but this was not the case here. This experience significantly impacted my trip, and I cannot recommend this hostel to anyone seeking a welcoming and respectful stay. I urge management to address this issue seriously and ensure their staff maintain a professional and inclusive attitude towards all guests.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! 0/10!!! My belongings were destroyed by the hostel owner!!! Upon check in, a staff member offered to change my room after noticing and agreeing to obscene bacterial smell from assigned room. The next day in the new room, I return to hostel to find all of my belongings stuffed in a trash bag and destroyed by my make up and liquid toiletries being dumped inside the trash bag. I contacted the owner on his cell phone, he admitted to putting my belongings in trash bags. He also stated he became aware that the staff member moved my room and I was allowed to remain in the room. I asked him why didn't contact me before destroying my things and once he realized his staff member made a mistake why didn't he remove the liquid toiletries and my clothes out of he bag to avoid damage? He didn't even apologize. Due to the damage to my clothing I had to leave New Orleans early 2 days before my birthday. It was a terrible experience.

It was clean and is located in an area where many attractions are nearby. What I didn't like was the loud music and noise throughout the night. Also, one of the staff memers had a really funky attitude when I returned to pick up a bag that I accidentally left behind. I won't be staying there again. I wouldn't stay there if you value getting a good night's sleep.
