I stayed here for the weekend and found it a great value! The staff is very helpful and made sure I had what I needed; the hostel is next to a streetcar/bus stop that takes you to Canal St. which is walking distance to the French Quarter. The only complaint I'd have is that the water pressure in my room's shower was a little low. Check out Mr. Ed's Seafood down the road and Mais Arepas around the corner if you can!
