The hostel was awesome! We had our own room with bathroom and it was clean and comfortable. We even had our own shower, which I didn’t expect! So loved the breakfast selection and everyone there was so kind and friendly. If back in NOLA, I would definitely stay here again!!!

Near Frenchman street and French quarter, clean and nice, w private entrance- a couple of random people came and knocked on the door in the evening but they were just some guy who obviously expected someone else to be there and a guy wanting to use the water hose for his dog but this did not bother me

Interesting Experience

A hostel with dormitory and individual rooms. A great quite place to stay near Bourbon and Frenchman Street. Interesting, mainly young visitors from all over the world. Friendly staff organizing events like Jambalaya Dinner, music club nights, etc. Value for money! We would return there again.

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.

As a first time hostel guest, I appreciated the availability of a private bedroom and bathroom for our visit, but also the feature of being able to learn more about how a hostel works. It was also a wonderful experience to be able to meet so many people from across the globe and share our travel experiences. This was a great place to stay close to Frenchmen Street and not too far from the rest of the French Quarter with very welcoming staff and fantastic amenities.

It was a restful weekend stay. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. My main issues are the lack of lights/lamps with working bulbs and that there wasn't a bedside lamp for both beds in the room. Also, the room didn't have a tv or anywhere to sit other than the beds.

The location, price and atmosphere were great. This is a hostel run by young travelers with great attitudes. They organize daily events and we were lucky enough to enjoy vegetarian jambalaya and the company of other residents and staff. Our room was private with ensuite bath and patio. I will recommend Madame Isabelles to my friends and hope to return in the future.

Great little spot for inexpensive community vibes!

We have never stayed in a hostel before and for our first this is a great place to start, all others may pale in comparison. This home is historic and it is humid here but the place was really clean. I liked being able to come and go as I pleased. My only request would be for better water pressure.

Very unique hostel property. Near enough the French Quarter and VERY near Frenchman Lane to be convenient for walking. Staff and management are fantastic. Room clean and neat but no in suite bathroom- shared. Bunkroom next door was noisy until ~ 1AM but it was new years, so OK. Area around property is borderline sketchy so watch yourself and car.

I had a great stay here. So many amazing people to meet and a fun, chilled atmosphere that the staff have worked hard to foster. It’s in walking distance to the best live music. Beatrice and Sean are so helpful. The only downside for me is the mosquito issue. I know they are trying to fix it though and it’s difficult to do in New Orleans. Also, I hope they introduce recycling. Would still happily stay here again and am grateful for my time there. I hope to return.

There was no parking available as advertised. I was promised a refund. The area was unkept and not cleaned. I booked here because it was recommended by AARP. I am so disappointed. I wound up spending $231.00 for a quick rest place. Please help me get my money back.
