Room was better than lobby, but the bathroom didn’t lock and you share the bathroom with other people. If you’re a single guy trying to save money, this place is great, but don’t bring your wife/girlfriend, or kids ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlie Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place full of amazing people. Stay here if you want to befriend other cool likeminded travelers from around the country/world. Staying at India House made our trip to New Orleans so amazing!! Will stay there any time I’m back. ##### Charlie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The most unique and cozy place Wow, so well decorated! Such a unique place with a cozy outdoor space and swimming pool. Lovely people as well, which made me and my brother feel right at home. We had a nice little room to sleep. Definitely will book here when coming back! ##### Melanie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne Apr 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Solo female traveler Place had awesome vibes.

Walking distance to great restaurants outside the tourist area and I even walked to city park.

Staff super helpful, local knowledge always the best. Property itself is the kind of really cool spot you come to know using hostels when travelling. ##### Lisa Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jennifer Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Amenities I liked that they had coffee and a full kitchen we could make our own meals. Very clean and surprising very safe. Could use better pillows and could provide there guess with wash cloths not just a single towel. ##### Sally Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert May 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hostel is a good place to stay if your looking for the hipster vibe and the staff are both friendly and respectful to everyone. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alena Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Structure appeared extremely old; super trippy decor; interesting and unique - very different from typical budget lodging such as a Motel 6\. Almost a caricature of a hostel. Might not appeal to all. We stayed in the building next door (I think they called it the "balcony" room - no balcony. It was very small, quiet and we felt safe. Bus and trolley lines were very close. Overall vibe of the place was great. ##### Alena Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Need to stay longer !! It was great - everyone was friendly, including the guests - too short a visit to give a good review ! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly Nov 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Kimberly Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe Sep 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Joe Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alena Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Overall facilities appeared extremely old; fun decor and probably historic - interesting and unique. We had a private room on the second floor which was quite large with two bunk beds on either side of the room. The floor at the center of the room was significantly bowed - it had separated from the wall by about 2 inches and light from the room below was visible and flickered from the first floor ceiling fan. We did not feel safe walking in the center of the room and kept to the edges. Everything else worked for us but if we were to go back, I would avoid the upper floors of the main hostel - they have another house next door, and maybe cabins in the back (might be for staff thought...) ##### Alena Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Visit again! The Indian House is an excellent place to stay. This was my first hostel ever and i enjoyed it! I had a private room with a full bed and stayed in the Jezebel room. From the look of it, i thought the bed would be flat and feel every spring, well I though wrong. The mattress was comfortable but my only complaint slightly was the need of more pillows. The showers were efficient, just wait for the water to get warm and its a go! The shower heads are placed overtop of your head but you can make it work! There is plenty of room to store your food, open kitchen with everything you need in reference to pots pans etc. There is a sitting area with local information, where to eat, what events are happening and areas of NOLA to visit. Indian House owns a whole block with hostels and it is an old home with vintage findings but is very clean, full of history, rustic findings and staff are always in site. The staff are helpful and friendly. The pond with the alligator and bench was one of my favorites; to wake up, make English tea, have a smoke, enjoy the breeze! An excellent stay, great pricing and I will return again!!! This was a pleasure! ##### Nina Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stéphane Nov 21, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities \- 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. ##### Stéphane Stayed 12 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very unique property, with a mish-mash of quirky rooms and buildings combined to make a hostel. The price is great for what you get. No concerns with cleanliness or bugs (it IS a humid environment, in the South, so I was expecting at least one or two roaches or lizards, but there were none, even outside in the courtyard/common areas). The only issue we had was our lightbulb went out one evening. The staff didn't tell us that we'd have to be present for the maintenance guy to come replace it. So, we left for dinner for the evening and came back late that night to it not being fixed yet. Had to use a flashlight we had brought i order to see in our room. The next day, we asked the same staff person when it would be fixed, and THAT'S when she told us we needed to be in our room when maintenance comes. She sent maintenance right away, and the issue was fixed (although she did not seem concerned with the lack of communication about the rule). Otherwise, it was a fabulous stay: budget-friendly and less than a block from the streetcar line into downtown. Would definitely stay again! ##### Kelly Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Claire May 30, 2025 Great time and great staff ##### Mary Claire Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [New Orleans RV Resort & Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Seabrook-Villa.h70049164.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Sonesta New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Royal-Sonesta-New-Orleans.h3387.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Old-No-77-Hotel-Chandlery.h40852.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental New Orleans by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-InterContinental-New-Orleans.h14550.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton New Orleans Riverside](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Hilton-New-Orleans-Riverside.h19716.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Chateau-Hotel.h1509687.Hotel-Information) > > [Quarter House](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Quarter-House.h27812449.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Westin-New-Orleans.h9637.Hotel-Information) > > [The Saint Hotel, New Orleans, French Quarter](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Saint-Hotel.h4896744.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus French Quarter Courtyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-French-Quarter-Courtyard-Hotel.h19617.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel St. Marie](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Hotel-St-Marie.h25823.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Wyndham-New-Orleans-French-Quarter.h10705.Hotel-Information) > > [New Orleans Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-New-Orleans-Marriott.h3326.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton New Orleans Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Sheraton-New-Orleans-Hotel.h6914.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-New-Orleans.h13394.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Royal Orleans Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Omni-Royal-Orleans-Hotel.h19423.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Plaza Hotel New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Drury-Plaza-Hotel-New-Orleans.h454948.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Hotel-Monteleone.h8698.Hotel-Information) > > [The Eliza Jane, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Eliza-Jane.h1109410.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Qtr - Astor by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Astor-Crowne-Plaza-New-Orleans-French-Quarter.h878332.Hotel-Information) > > [The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Roosevelt-New-Orleans.h2661313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric French Quarter](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-French-Quarter.h14429.Hotel-Information) > > [Bourbon Orleans Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Bourbon-Orleans-Hotel.h2969.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h454890.Hotel-Information) > > [French Market Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-French-Market-Inn.h6309.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo New Orleans French Quarter by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Royal-St-Charles-Hotel.h561327.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn New Orleans - Downtown Superdome by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-New-Orleans-Downtown-Superdome.h2856.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn FRENCH QUARTER-CHATEAU LEMOYNE by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-FRENCH-QUARTER-CHATEAU-LEMOYNE.h6806.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Orleans Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-New-Orleans-Downtown.h282692.Hotel-Information)
