Madame Isabelle's House

I had a great stay here! The beds were very comfortable and the whole house is cute and cozy. Maria was ON her game and kept everything running smoothly, truly the backbone of the house. Felix, Sophia, and Alex were all super fun and friendly. I got to use the hot tub and sit out on the porch overlooking a beautiful lush back patio area. The location was an easy walk into the French quarter and along bus routes. Highly recommend and would return!

The team at Isabelle's House are genial and helpful, willing to give a recommendation or help out someone in need. Felix and Sophia are social butterflies and well acquainted with all the fun things to do in New Orleans. They go so far as to jumpstart group activities among hostel clients and host fun get togethers like jambalaya night. Though the co-ed room had several bunk beds, it was more cozy than cramped. Not to mention the wonderful ambience! All in all, this is well worth the price. This rating, however, comes with a caveat: bring your own lock for the provider lockers, or some poltergeist will nab your stuff. This is not the fault of the employees, but your fellow hostel clients. Unless there actually is a ghost, going around tearing through paper bags and nabbing incense sticks and stuff. Furthermore, I'm not sure if the owner will maintain the hostel in such a good state; I'm not sure how forward-thinking he is if he buys a Cybertruck in an area as humid and hot as New Orleans. Madame Isabelle's House in New Orleans is a great place. For now.

The people are super friendly and the property is a welcome oasis, especially coming from New York City. I love the backyard area and patio. We are having a group jambalaya meal that the staff made right now. Felix took us dancing the other night. All the guests are super friendly and we coordinate our outings sometimes. Had a lunch with another political scientist, chatted with someone about literature, spoke with a Brazilian woman about finance in Portuguese. Good place to make acquaintances between outings to explore the city. You can also just ignore everyone and enjoy it all yourself. Breakfast is good in the morning and they have laundry on site. Joyeux!

It was my first hostel experience so take everything I say with a grain of salt. Saying that I thought it was cute and quaint. I wish the curtains on the bunks in the dorms covered the end and the bunks had better ladders. It was clean and everything I needed for the night. It has character. The location was phenomenal. I would/will absolutely stay there again.

One of the best hostels I've ever been to, with an insanely cheap price. Amazing staff, very welcoming and they provide anything you could need. Made a lot of friends, the hostel also plans social activities so it's easy to connect. Go there if you want to relax and meet great people!
