I very much enjoyed my stay at the Quisby. The environment was hip and friendly, lots of lone travelers coming through for a night or more. I ended up just staying for one night, but it was comfortable and nearby a lot of neat things to do in New Orleans. I felt safe--particularly enjoyed the female-only dorm option and would recommend if you identify with that. The staff were very friendly and accommodating with answering questions about things to do and any needs I had. There is a nice lobby space to chat with other travelers, do some work, or have a nice breakfast in the morning. Overall, would recommend and would return!
