The Quisby

This is an outstanding room/hotel as long as you understand what you are getting. It used to be a hostel but now a hotel; so the rooms are quite small when fitted with a king size bed (no room for a chair) but that is the only downside. Everything else was great!! Location: on St Charles with the trolly stop outside the hotel which takes you directly to Bourbon street. Quiet with lots of nearby very good restaurants. Continental breakfast included. Comfortable bed, clean, nice shower and a price that was appealing compared to other locations. I recommend it.

Friendly and responsive staff who were happy to help answer any questions I had. Location was pretty good, with street cars outside or a 20-25 minute walk into the French Quarter. I didn't take the street car, as I enjoyed strolling into town each day. Food readily available next door, with Courtyard Brewery or the Avenue Pub within a 5 minute walking radius if you fancy a good selection of beers. The Quart(?) is The Quisby bar, and also offers some good drinking options without needing to leave the Hostel. I stayed in the 4-bed shared accomodation room.

Some of the staff were VERY nice (notably Ms Annamarie and Mr Tom). Very much enjoyed all of our conversations and how welcomed they made me feel. They are personally the reason I would return to the hostel (especially since it seems like the two of them are holding that place together). Beds are comfortable, unlimited sheets and towels (if needed), nice breakfast (although the hostel often runs out of food and never seems to order more, but that is a management issue). Overall, a great place with great atmosphere

Room (we stayed in a double with own shower) is clean. Next to side street but relatively quiet area so no night noise issues. Walkable from Amtrak train station. One of the famous streetcar lines is right in front of the hotel so convenient to get to famous sites east and west in the city. The vibe of the guests is cool; added atmosphere from the ones hanging out in the lobby - the hotel bar (extension of the checkin desk) is open really late, and guests get a free drink (I didn't use it this time).

We were 3 generations of our family women who booked a room to share. It worked out very well. The place was clean with comfortable beds and clean bathroom. Bunk beds are not my favorite but my granddaughter didn't mind the climb! :) The breakfast offered was sufficient and the coffee was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful to answer all our questions. The location was excellent with public transport right outside the door and walkable to some good restaurants.
