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

Location! Price! Personality! We stayed in the 2 bedroom self contained apartments located across the street from the main building of the hostel and couldn't have been happier. The apartment was clean and a decent size for the 3 of us, with comfy beds and A/C...there was even a bath in my private ensuite bathroom (which I happily relaxed in... More

We stayed here as part of a large volunteer group on a service project and had a very good experience. Although the rooms and overall accommodations were spartan, they were clean and functional. The few small issues that we had were dealt with quickly by the management. I recommend that large groups renting a private kitchen/meeting area as this will... More

was in a 5 private room, with 2 rooms, huge living room!! heard there were bed bugs, but didnt see any, so I loved it! ANd the area is great too : by the tramway : go there!

Don't go there! We were attracted for the price (20 $ for Nola is quite cheap) but is not worth. It's dirty, the staff is unkind, the place is creepy and not so close to the center! Really bad experience, the rooms are full of dead cockroches, and we had the feeling that there are Bed bugs too. Tony from... More

This is a very nicely located and fairly hospitable hostel, but "filthy" is not an exageration. They are loose with the rules (fine with me! Lots of fun was had drinkin' it up on the large patio), but security could be a concern for some people. I would stay again, since the price is right (especially when there is a... More

Checked into Marquette house and checked straight back out again that evening! Cheap? Yes very! Clean? Not at all!!!!! When we went into our private room we straight away wanted to leave! First off the room had a horrible smell to it and was very unclean! The bin in the bathroom had somebody elses hair in it! We then had... More
