The Quisby

Front desk great help. Nice hostel. Just didn’t get breakfast as I had to leave earlier and was not able to get a bag to go.

I was here on a business conference, and reading the hotel description as “an affordable boutique hotel,” I thought I’d give it a go. My single room wasn’t actually that much cheaper than several other hotels in the area, but wow was I disappointed. This is a glorified hostel at best. Small rooms with bare minimum provided, no parking and no sidewalk in a sketchy area of town, absolutely no soundproofing in the walls or doors, which made sleep nearly impossible every night. The breakfast left much to be desired, just the bare minimum, coffee and a few stale pastries . The staff however, were extremely accommodating and very friendly, big plus! Personally, I would not book here again, but maybe this is my fault for not reading all the reviews that mention how impossible it is to sleep with all the noise in the hallway, lack of safety, and minimal accommodations. For people looking to party all night and just have somewhere to crash, this would be a good option.

The hostel building quality is amazing, I think its a renovated hotel or home? Bunk beds came with very comfy cushiony mattresses,pillows and comforters. The the wooden frame made for non creaky stable beds! The place is kept very clean. The location is decent but away from all the happening locations (they are all 20+min walk away) inaccessible by transport during Mardi Gras as it is right on the parade route but easy to get to on the Streetcar other times ($1.25/trip or$3 whole day) from Canal Street. There's no other public transport. The amenities: Kitchenette (no kitchen), No business center (PCs), no iron/ironing board and no basic furnishings (stool/chair/table stand -helps to fold clothes/arrange stuff/relax instead of always climbing the bunk bed) in the 6 bed dorm.. Laundry prices a bit stiff. Breakfast was pretty decent- croissants/biscuits with swiss cheese slices - Salami for meat eaters and coffee. I think adding a fruit and alternate protein sources would be welcome to travelers in a big way! Bar was very nice. No socializing events like most other hostels organize. Felt a bit unlike other hostels' atmosphere. Staff: 10 Stars: Very courteous, helpful and knowledgeable about places and things to check out. Shout out to Mac and the others working the Mardi Gras days. Rates: Reasonable if booked early. I was here for 4 nights. I docked the 2 stars for its location, needs better amenities and more importantly, the socializing atmosphere expected of a hostel. Even if its just a basic group outing in the neighborhood (maybe add a communal dining area separate from the lobby). The Quisby has great potential and I hope it reaches it quickly!

This gem is off the beaten path; only a 10min trolley ride from Canal Street. I felt safe arriving on the trolley at 3/4am. It's peaceful, clean, and affordable. Great stay for friends/families of four. Dorms are accessible by key card. The female room for four has its own bathroom. Free WiFi and breakfast. The staff are so hospitalitable. I recommend saving $$ and staying at The Quisby.

Nice city Nice hostel Amazing and comfortable hostel I definitely recommend and will return... Clean, friendly and most of all, hospitable... Best linen I've ever encountered in a hostel.. It's not just a hostel, it's a boutique hostel... Big difference...

Good price and good location. Located very close to a trolley stop that will take you into the French District or Garden District. Rooms appear to be new/ newly renovated! Very clean and comfortable. Staff are also very helpful.

Front desk staff was very attentive and helpful for my first time staying in a hotel. Bed was comfortable and it was a very nice experience. I stay in hotels 200 times a year and was nervous before I came but once I arrived I saw there was nothing to be nervous about and it was a great stay.

The bed and room were comfortable. I felt safe, the staff were friendly and helpful. There was some noise from other guests but it didn't bother me and I was able to sleep well. The streetcar goes from right outside the door so it's really handy.
