The ol' marquette house in New Orleans. It turns out New Orleans is a very expensive place to book hotels or hostels, that's where the Marquette House comes in. Located a block off of St. Charles street the marque room is somewhat, sorta, kinda conveniently located, near downtown new orleans. My favourite part about this hostel is they allow pets.... More

DO NOT stay here EVER. My husband and I were literally travelling (backpacking) around the world and we have stayed in many places of varying qualities as we were on a tight budget, but this was without doubt the WORST. Let me add that we had been all over Brazil, Chile, Cuba and even Jamaica but this was disgusting. Staff... More

It is 2 blocks from a bus or streetcar directly to Burbon Street. Good security. No lockers. Reliable coffee. common room and garden. Wi-fi only--no computers. Charged almost double for New Years Eve and Day. Clean linen and towel. Travel advice. I didn't get the bunk I was assigned--someone else was in it. Adequate showers and toilets. I would stay...

Great fast cleaning stafff fun .personalities and a great rate dorm rooms . Plus the best service qaint courtyards bbq'd pits to grill out and friends of. A .lifetime u will .make at that table in courtyards.

The man at the front desk wasn’t all that welcoming, and the desk is closed for several hours a day. Security when staying in private rooms is poor as it’s on a separate block across the road with only an old lock on the door to keep people out (gates surrounding the building aren’t locked or anything). I saw the... More

Looking for a lastminute bed in New Orleans last summer I ended up going to the Marquette. Most other hostels where fully booked but the location didnt seem that bad and I decided to take a bed. Upon arriving I should have known, while most hostels where full, the marquette was mostly empty. The first night was ok-ish. I was... More

I've stayed at a number of different hostels over several trips to New Orleans. Marquette House is by far the worst placed I've been to. Two positive points: good location in Garden District, a minute from St.Charles streetcar, and also no bedbugs. That's about it. The hostel is occupied by several locals getting drunk from morning to evening in the... More

I really enjoyed my stay. I stayed for five nights . The staff was friendly and helped me find great places to see during my five night stay.The hostel was clean and I will definately be back. Susan R. Irving, Texas

For $30 or so a night, I truly have very low expectations. The mattress need not be comfortable, the facilities need not be beautiful. Nothing could have prepared me for the infestation of bed bugs and fleas, however, at Marquette House. It's clear from the facilities that "deferred maintenance" isn't the problem — there's just no maintenance at all. The... More
