5/5
After coming from another hostel that had been rather inhospitable to me, the Quisby was my saving grace in a tricky situation. What's more, I don't believe I've ever had a better stay at a hostel in my entire life! The Quisby staff is super friendly and always willing to help. You can get fresh sheets or towel when you need, wash your laundry with provided detergent, eat provided breakfast, and with 24/7 bar + tea/coffee service you will never go thirsty! The rooms are nice too--very comfortable and clean. There's also lockers provided for your items protection, which is quite nice. Your food is safe in the fridge as well! Located right on St. Charles, it's right on the street car line if that's your jam, and not too far from Magazine St. if you feel like looking at local shops. Downtown New Orleans is right at your feet. I never felt unsafe once here and I hope others can feel confident in choosing the Quisby for their next stay. Thank you Anna + everyone else for making me feel welcome so far away from home!! ♡

The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean. There was painters tape still up from a recent repair.... Other than that no complaints. It was a younger crowd but they were pleasant. 2 of the 3 desk attendants were very pleasant and helpful. The other I did not interact with much. I would recommend the experience to anyone who wants to travel and experience new things.
