Had an amazing time at India House! It really was a true hostel experience, getting to talk to many travellers of different walks of life. Easy streetcar access and the neighborhood was very safe.

- getting blisters and scraping your knuckles every time someone opens your room door - not being able to turn off the fan because the ceiling is too high and the chain doesn't come down within reach, even when you climb onto the bed - no soundproofing, you can hear everything that happens in the bathroom day and night and in the next room - waiting 3 days to get an iron (some people sleep with it!) - a completely messy laundry room and old vertical drum washing machines that don't wash - people who spend hours talking, laughing and partying in the courtyard EVERY night until 3 or 4 in the morning - having to go to sleep somewhere else to be able to sleep peacefully and not be exhausted the next day...! That's what staying here is like. I rather recommend Hostel International on Canal Street instead, closer to the city center, much more respectful (and clean!) and for the same price.

Perfect budget accommodation. We were in the Green House and had the "Ocean View" room LOL (it overlooks the pool). The beds were comfortable, the AC worked fine, and it was perfectly quiet at night. Never had to wait for the toilet or shower down the hall. The shower was decent but the sink definitely needs more water pressure. Safe area, had no issues parking the car on the street. Would stay here again.

Very free & easy hostel. Lots of facilities including laundry. Trolley stop very close so very easy to get into N.O although the ticket machine, also close by, took a lot of patience to work out ! Don't stay there & give a bad review. Do your research first & you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic value
Very clean, great price and decent location (1 min walk from streetcar stop so can get to French Quarter very easily). Staff very friendly and polite, no issues at all with shared bathrooms, never once had to wait for the shower or toilet and again, all very clean. Aircon in the rooms, when I went the hostel was fairly empty so not that social but may just have been time of year. All-in-all it’s a great option at an unbelievable price.

The buildings and rooms were unique and private. I wish we could have used the pool but we were a little self conscious because of all the young adults.

Good value for the price!
The overall experience was good for the price. They have a full kitchen and a laundry room which were very convenient. They provided good customer service. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so they gave us an upgrade.The room was clean and the bathroom as well. The house needs better maintenance & cleanliness.

I'd say the only one down fall I can actually say is the private rooms should offer a mini fridge for beverages and the property should address the locking mechanisms on all the bathrooms since it's considered co-ed.
