Had so much fun here and love meeting so many wonderful people. Loved every minute of it! Well price and a good location. At the time the owner had quite a menagerie (including snakes) on the property, proved very entertaining.

India house lives up to its reputation, it is the most fun you can have in a hostel. With a pool and some seriously good crawfish boils ($10 per person all you can eat), the staff here were super helpful. The room ($31 for a private room) was okay with no frills but the bed was clean and the a/c... More

We stayed here for 2 nights after getting back from a cruise. We booked a private double bed with an en-suite bathroom and it was wonderful, worth the few extra dollars. We weren't in the main house, we were 2 houses away in a cute little front room with our own porch. The bed was a little un- comfy, but... More

Stayed at India House for 3 nights and found it to be a mixed experience. Pros: The location is great, it's a 30 second walk to the trolley stop where for $3 you can visit Bourbon Street, The French Quarter, the Garden district and more. Runs late which is perfect for getting home cheaply after a night out. They have... More

The hostel is well set up and great from a socialising point of view. The back yard and pool area are really good, very quirky and good for chilling out. We didn't use it much but the TV and lounge area inside the house also look comfortable and with lots of space so if you are travelling alone it seems... More

Just finished up spring break here with 3 other friends. We stayed in one of the private rooms. We loved our time at India House. We met so many amazing people. I would highly recommend this to a young traveler who is open to meeting new people!
