The Quisby is in a great location with a streetcar stop right outside the hostel, making for easy access to the French Quarter. It is also close to several restaurants and bars. My room was great for my style of traveling....not much luggage and low fuss. I rented a locker which could hold all of my things but wouldn't fit for someone with a large suitcase.
The bar in the lobby was great for socializing with other travelers. While I was happy to be able to store my food in the communal fridge, I only wish there was a sink where I could do dishes. Another unexpected thing was when the housekeeping staff mistakenly took some of my belongings. Other than that, I would recommend staying at the Quisby for travelers on a budget and those wanting to meet other fellow adventurers.
