Bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs. The management has done nothing about the infestation. They do not care. They will not refund your stay. If you go here and get bugs, you will bring them back to your home and have to pay for extermination. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. More

staff is polite and friendly but it does not make up for the fact that they are aware of the situation and continue to accept guests without doing much about it other than spraying the sheets before check in. seems like it is not the case in all the rooms (the other guests were not complaining), so take a gamble...

Our train was late getting in (8 hours late) but as our train was backing into the station at 10:30 p.m., we got a phone call from Craig saying he was waiting for us out front. We were so happy to know we were being met and taken directly to the hostel. We wanted to stay at the hostel, as... More

I stayed there for a week and was bitten by bedbugs all over my body. To save myself a few dollars on a room, I ended up spending $50 at the doctor for an appointment, $50 on medicine to clear up the bites, $60 to dry clean all of my clothes to make sure I didn't bring anything home and... More

What it lacks in modernisation it makes up for 10 fold in spirit. As a seasoned traveller I can say the staff are the best I have ever met. They went the extra mile at every occasion to ensure our every reasonable need was met. Shout out to craig who's tips in the city showed us the best new Orleans... More

It made sense to book a bed at this hostel: an employee was going to pick me up at the airport late and early the next morning I could walk to my rental car pick-up. All that and I'd be saving $30-$40 on a bed I only needed for a few hours. I didn't count on the bedbugs. I was... More

My partner and I stayed there for 3 nights and we both got bed bugs. Then we told them 2 nights in and switched us to another room, and then later on that night our bed bug room was given to a new backpacker!! One of the staff said "bed bugs just bite you and go" sounded like he didn't... More

Joe and Flo is truly an awesome amazing place. I had the time of my life! The hostel was extremelty clean and the staff was just over the barrow nice. They were so helpful. The walk to the attraction was only about 10 blocks and I felt very safe walking to the French Quarter and back even late at night.... More
