i stayed here for 3 nights alone in a private room. I didnt notice any of the problems that have been mentioned in other negative posts. The building is HUGE! Reminds me of an old mansion. It is a little old and worn out, but I didn't mind it. The building is an old building, so I didn't expect everything... More

Well my boyfriend and I have never complained about a hostel before, even after backpacking round the world and staying in some pretty bad places! However we both decided this place needed a review!! First impression was that the place was going to fall down, the room stank and that I felt like I was in a horror movie! But... More

I stayed here for two night while in New Orleans in mid-May of 2013. The building is a really cool old building from 1860 with lots of big rooms with high ceilings. The bunk rooms are big and have a lot of beds, but for the price, it seemed like a great deal. I have seen some of the other... More

I excitedly booked this hostel for Jazz Fest 2013, but ended up not even staying here at all! I had a late arrival, and was told that as long as I called in a day or two in advance this wouldn't be a problem and someone would be there to open the doors for me. "Cool," I thought. When I... More

This is a great location (Garden District), equi-distant to the French Quarter and the "hip" part of Magazine Street (and St. Charles Avenue, as well). Great transportation options, and there's a beautiful garden area for sitting and relaxing when you're not out and about. My room was a great value, and the staff, particularly Brandi and Lenny were charming, fun... More

I have stayed here twice. Most recently for Jazzfest 2013. First things first... 1) If stained sheets are going to ruin your vacation, bring your own. Sheets are clean but often have stains. 2) Both times I stayed here, late at night in the hallway, I saw a cockroach on its back, legs kicking, waiting to die. Other than those... More

I really enjoyed my stay here. Great location and close to everywhere i wanted to go. i stayed in my own room and i loved the purple room as it was very festive for new orleans. nice people at the front and friendly guests. i will for sure be staying here again.

I stayed at St Vincent's on Apr. 24 thru Apr. 26, 2013 (room reserved through Hostelworld). When I was reserving a room (approximately 5 days before I was to arrive in New Orleans), I found that most places in the town were already filled and those that were not filled were charging outrageous prices (eg. International House. I did go... More

. . . then this is an exceptionally good choice for lodging. I love New Orleans, and was visiting with a friend who'd never been. I wanted somewhere affordable, interesting, and in a location in which I was comfortable and from which we could get everywhere we wanted to go painlessly. St. Vincent's was all those things. It's pretty worn... More
