City House New Orleans Samesun, hotel in New Orleans

Situated within 1.5 km of Union Station and 1.3 km of Caesars Superdome, City House New Orleans Samesun offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in New Orleans.

Fantastic place! Once you enter a shady door and go up with the elevator, you will find a hidden gem! It was very cozy and the staff was super friendly and helpful anytime. I had a single room with a large comfortable bed, the bathrooms were common and in good condition. The common area was large, inviting and relaxing. I had good talks with fellow visitors and staff. Desks for work were available in a different area for more quietness. Since I had to work a lot during my trip, even at 3 o'clock in the night, this was a HUGE benefit! Overall I had relaxing time there beside my busy workdays (16 to 18 hours). I would come back any time and can highly recommend booking this place when going to New Orleans!

HOSTEL Auberge NOLA, hotel in New Orleans

Offering free WiFi access, Auberge Nouvelle Orleans hostel is located in New Orleans, just 900 metres from World War 2 Museum. Each room in this hostel comes equipped with air conditioning.

Very cozy environment! Close to the Greyhound bus station but a bit far from the city, that’s however the best value you can get for the price :)

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The reality was better than the pictures, cleanliness, privacy, location of the place, staff, breakfast, safety, everything was perfect. I was in New York and there was a hostel with the same name. I stayed there for several days, but this hostel in New Orleans was the best in everything. How I wish New York had a place like this.

    I like everything in this hostel. The kitchen is fully equipped, very clean and roomy. The bathrooms are always kept clean with many clean towels. There are a lot of seats/sofas in the lounge and dining room. I like everything in this hostel. It is the best hostel that I have been in USA so far. Thanks to the manager and all staff working in the hostel. You guys have done a great job.

    Fantastic hostel. The staff was super cool, check in and out was super easy (all virtual, no need to give back keys or anything). Great location, all was clean and organized. Definitely recommend for solo travelers, there were plenty of activities and it's a great place to meet new people.
