You can expect that it looks similiar to the pictures the Quisby provides. I was not sure if it would really look like it looks on the pictures because they looked really professional and sometimes you get disappointed. But the Quisby definitely has not disappointed me. We had a great time. The location was good (the street car leaves right in front of the hostel) and the welcome drink was an extra delightful surprise. It was also really helpful that the hostel provided a map with places they recommend in the area around the Quisby. We tried a lot of things they recommended and fully enjoyed it. New Orleans is a great city and the Quisby made our experience even better.
