India House was really cool! It was my first time staying in a hostel and I really enjoyed it. All of the people were really nice and the house cat was adorable! The set up of the place and overall cleanliness met my expectations but the private room could have been cleaner. The floor had strands of blonde hair all over it that must have been there from the people before me and the walls and baseboards were pretty dirty in both the room and the bathroom. The bed felt pretty clean but I never go under hotel covers so I was happy there was an additional blanket folded up on the top bunk for me to use. Keep in mind the walls are paper thin but I’m an early riser so I didn’t mind the noise. Location was amazing, literally a 1 minute walk to the canal streetcar and just a short ride into the French quarter.
