阿爾貝格新奧爾良旅館青年旅舍(Hostel Auberge Nola)

Very good hostel, nice atmosphere, helpful staff, a lot of group activities

TL;DR: Covid outbreak at the hostel and management covered it up I strongly advise against choosing this hostel for your stay. I contracted COVID during my stay at the hostel, which management tried to conceal to protect their profits, and I was promptly evicted with less than 24 hours' notice. Despite the hostel’s initial offer to isolate in a different room, management called me in the night while I was quarantining to abruptly kick me out for being transparent about my situation with people I initially shared a room with. Management feared losing money over people understanding the health situation in the establishment. They prioritized their financial interests over the health and safety of their guests, going so far as to immediately delete my message informing others that I had Covid and remove me from the WhatsApp group chat. The management's actions revealed a blatant disregard for guest safety, even resorting to threats of involving the police when I insisted on staying isolated while looking for a new place. This hostel is a breeding ground for Covid as they keep their guests in the dark about the risks. For anyone seeking a safe and inclusive accommodation option, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere, especially if you want to avoid the risk of contracting COVID and especially not those in my circumstances as a LGBTQ+ individual in need of a safe and supportive environment. As a first-time traveler overseas and to the United States, arriving from Belgium with no support network in a foreign country, the purposeful misgendering and transphobia by this hostel's management, and complete lack of empathy and understanding of my unique situation, only added to the distress I experienced during my stay. I was bullied out of an accommodation I had fully paid for in trying to keep the hostel's own guests safe.

Definitely only stay there if you are in a certain demographics..20-35. The hostel is clean, neat, and check in is simple. But they are very unaccommodating if you are over 45. It's obvious they don't want mid- age or seniors. Stay at HI Hostel. They don't discriminate. If you love loud parties, drinking and loud music you will love I'm there. Good luck in your travels to New Orleans.

A really good experience. Felt very safe, as a solo, female traveler. The owner and staff I really committed to guests, comfort, and worked really hard to create an option of community. Setting up a shade cover, and such for the parades on Saint Charles, and creating opportunities to go out with a group.

Clean, comfortable, and friendly hostel. Bunk beds were cushy, bathroom was immaculate! It even came with a super friendly porch cat! Staff was helpful in tips to get around. Cafe Porche across the lot was delicious.

This Hostel is an absolute 11/10 . The hostel itself is super clean, well maintained and well located. I stayed in a private room and it was perfect. Really well put together and had every amenity needed for a stay. The thing that really makes this place stand out is the staff and the social aspect they encourage. Every person who worked at the hostel were incredibly kind, friendly and fun to hang out with. The social aspect of this hostel really shaped my stay in NOLA. There is a hostel WhatsApp which makes it easy to arrange activities with guests, though each night there is always an activity organised by the team. I've been in the USA for 31 days and the 4 days at the Auberge were definitely the highlight. Thank you! Shane

Beds were very comfortable. The property is a little bit away from all of the site. Guests were nice but securing bathroom time in the morning can be a challenge.

This house is beautiful! I stayed in the top floor private room, it was quiet and felt like home. It was so clean and thoughtfully furnished. I wished I could stay longer. The staff were kind and helpful. One of the first questions they asked is what I wanted out of my visit, and they responded accordingly.

I was so uncomfortable about having a mix room with ransoms strangers I didn’t know (including men) I had little privacy, and didn’t want to stay any longer because of the lack of privacy and uncomforte I experienced when in the same room and a weird man giving me stranger danger vibes….
