Madame Isabelle's House

Thank you for the acomodation was really nice staying in the hostel. A lot of activities and very good location. The people is really nice and friendly, guests, volunteers, workers and the owner Sean

Great place to stay. Had an awesome experience. The hosts are welcoming friendly and set up a

Close to the quarter. Very friendly staff.

Amazing hostel with wonderful staff and fellow travellers. Great location, just outside the french quarter - I actually preferred being outside the french quarter, but you're still so close to all the attractions that it offers, plus you're closer to Frenchman street which has fantastic live music at night. The hostel was clean, well-equipped, with good amenities and great hangout spaces. Rooms were big enough that they didn't feel cramped. Each bed has a curtain and they provide you with a towel. They have social events a couple nights a week - while I typically try to stay in hostels that have social events going on every night, this hostel isn't really big enough for that to be feasible (I guess that's part of the hostel culture in north america, or should I say, lack thereof). The people are always what make or break a hostel stay - and the people here were so so wonderful! Plus all the resident hostel cats? Incredible. I would definitely book Madame Isabelle's again when I'm back in New Orleans.

Good if you set proper expectations Thin walls, stained sheets, some purposely wonky construction techniques, HVAC controls a mystery, and did not receive our late arrival entrance code via email, so had to wait for an employee to come out to help us enter. All that said, it was an interesting communal experience. Definitely not luxurious, but for a younger person could be a lot of fun. Great location, street parking easily accessible.

Reviews I cannot say enough good things about this hostel. I researched all six in closest proximity to the FQ and this one far surpassed all others. The staff is incredible - so genuine, professional and fun! They truly were a big part of making my time in Nola so wonderful. Clean, timely, great communication, lovely home environment, free breakfast, community/hostel group events, laundry, lots of amenities, convenient, quick walk to FQ, as a solo female traveler I felt safe (using common sense like any larger city) etc. etc. Stay here! You will be thrilled that you did!
