Hey friends! The Quisby Hotel is a 2-star boutique hotel known for its unique decor, affordable rates and proximity to attractions. Room booked: Single Queen room Customer service: Needs work Check-in/out: Seamless Amenities: Free tea/coffee 24/7 Free breakfast 24 hour front desk and lounge Less than 10 minutes from Convention Center 25 minutes from Airport Check-in was not warm or friendly. The employee gave the energy of being bothered when I checked in. The check-out employee was much friendlier and offered me hot water for my scratchy voice. I also wanted to flag that your room entry code is the last four digits of your phone number. It's convenient but could also impose a safety-risk. read more

...keep your expectations real in order to enjoy The Quisby.. Depending on what your plans are when in NO...this place can be your ticket to a great stay or maybe not. One drawback has to do with secured parking not being available hence its best to check out the surrounding area for a safe parking place. On the other hand if you dont have a car and want to buy a pass to gain access to the rails and bus systems- The Quisby is very close to public transportation pick up and drop off points. Also during our stay stay.. staff members were open to engagement and more than willing to assist. The price is right as well as long as you keep expectations in check as this isn't a 4 nor 5 star place or location... And that's ok read more

It was a lovely and inexpensive hotel really close to the french quarter. The room itself was small and cozy. It was In walking distance from Popeyes and a couple good sports bars and oyster bars. Someone was at the front desk 24/7. Unfortunately the laundry room was broken. But our stay there was pretty quiet. It was great. Thank you! read more

I must say, I was a little disappointed when I arrived bcuz of the room size, however the staff and service totally made up for it. I went from trying to cancel the reservation day one to extending it three days. It is the perfect location for everything, yet out of the way enough to rest. The location is surrounded by good food and amazing people. The staff of this place ass out of this world. One after the other, just pleasant and fun people. If you are traveling alone and want a spot that is safe with polite employees, this is the place. read more

Can't believe the 4+ star reviews online. So many things about Quisby Hotel is subpar. The tiny lobby/lounge area is musty. The feel of the elevator to the hallway and the room is depressingly on the deep-cheap side, given its cost. The room size about 12ft by 12ft is displeasingly congested with a full-size bed and double bunk beds, and a small tv mounted on the wall. No desk. No clothes drawers. Barely room for two luggage bags. Again, everything feels subpar. Oh, the worst--Quisby Hotel has no parking. Patrons are advised to find hourly meter paid parking anywhere on the avenue: unbearable. Buyer beware! read more

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!! read more

The location on st. Charles is perfect. 1 mile from the French quarter and all you do is step outside and there's a street car stop. Garden district just west up st. Charles. 24hr bar is super cool. I'm originally from the Westbank but was visiting this past weekend during the slower section of Mardi Gras season. Parade right in front the hostel was so convenient and fun. The bunk beds look relatively new, beds are comfy, bathroom was clean. Free laundry. Kitchenette area by the bar. I made a friend with a roommate to go on adventures with. The staff was helpful, especially Shai (spelling?) who was very friendly. Card key to get in building and room made me feel safer than other hostels I've been at. Staying here made my trip that much better! 10/10 recommend. read more

This was my first solo trip and I decided to stay in quinsy. I think I made the most correct decision.it's very safe inside and it extreme clean. They have a good service and they are good in security. Nola is a very safe place over all but the area in which quisby is very safe. It's at walking distance from public transport if you need one. read more

More fun than Hi New Orleans Hostel Much better rooms than India House hostel but much smaller social areas and no kitchen. Better bar of course *City House Hostel* is sh**t! Breakfast: Doughnuts, Bagels, Coffee/Tea $2 Fauberg Blonde Lager during Happy Hour St Charles Trolley is $1.25 and stops if you just stand by the line! Good Breakfast at just two blocks West BEDS ARE SILENT! and made by a local Nola I'm told. Not noisy metal like the other three Hostels I've stayed at in Nola. Underbed Huge heavy Locker & Wall Lockers. Little Bendy Reading lights at every bunk Very trendy hipster hostel with a cocktail bar. Only stayed here one night and had a great experience. I was on the second floor in a co-ed bunk. The other bunkmates were respectful of my space and quite. Breakfast was included, pretty basic but had a few different options. They did not offer parking but there was plenty of street parking close by. This was a better option to a Air BnB and will stay here next time Im in NOLA Location was great for hopping on the streetcar up to the French Quarter or the bus down to Magazine Street. Right next to a Popeye's, but walk about fifteen minutes to find incredible fried chicken place at Gus'. Also a very easy walk to the Garden District. Grab some food and ride the bus down to Audobon Park for a picnic and some fresh air! read more

Good location, nice clean room with bathroom within with good wifi , they even have a bar within the location with good prices.Tours services available. They provide fresh clean towels and bath gel upon request . The elevator is squeaky... Due to covid their complementary breakfast was suspended. Understabable! We enjoyed our stay here. read more

I don't do New Year's resolutions but I said 2022. I was going to do everything different. Everything out the box. There's stuff that I just never did so I decided to stay at a hostel even though I'm in my hometown and I have family . Normally I stay in hostels when I travel out the country but I just wanted to try something different even though I was going back home. I just wanted to see what it was like since it's new and it had a buzz and people were talking about it. Well what it was like was better than any hostile I've ever stayed in overseas. They had a bar that was open 24/7. I said at the bar and laughed till 4:00 a.m. and then went to my bed and slept and got up in 4 hours and left before I left. They gave me a Continental breakfast which most places during COVID doesn't but they gave you packaged donuts and brownies and coffee and orange juice and all that it was very nice. The people were good. Yeah I had a roommate that snort real loud but the great thing about that is I have some earphones that blocks out everything. beds was comfortable. If you were solo travel er or in some sort of travel group and you want to save a ton of money, especially going to a city that's expensive. This is a great choice. Like I said, I normally stay at hostels when I travel out the country simply because I'm just sleeping getting up going to the next location. However this one had a bar and they gave you happy hour prices all night long so drinks were like $2.50. it was a good time. They also bring in a band so bands play but this is New Orleans so if you like the party it's there. They play up until about midnight. Great time. One night they had red beans and rice as well. Can't beat it. read more

Front desk lady in the evening was extremely rude. Drug paraphernalia laid across her desk as she refused to check me in. Came for a quick rest after a show. Had to drive home 10 hrs to avoid sleeping on the street in a completely different state. Worst experience ever. read more

***BED BUGS Staff was ok not fantastic but ok. I wasn't told about key pad code when I tried to get in but got in then was TOLD I was told lol. BEWARE I received many bed bug bites on my back , neck and arms . I was laying on my back ... Once I returned from my trip I was able to call and advise the staff. Staff was very unapologetic, not concerned no sympathy at all just cool we will take care of it lol. I stayed in room #103 and slept in bottom bunk to the Right won't return read more

The queen room was unclean and unkempt. I found several nail clippings, food particles, and hair upon check-in. It was quite disgusting! I didn't trust them to do a thorough cleaning so did it myself. I don't recommend staying here. read more

Extremely basic amenities and tiny room. Would only recommend for young people looking to find a decent place to sleep for cheap. Definitely not good for families. Noise at all hours from bar goers downstairs, slow check-in, and no good parking nearby. read more

Cute little spot for not only an overnight stay, but apparently, a quick drink! So, they have a 1-hour happy hour (7-8p) at the downstairs bar, but the deal is TOTALLY worth it...$2 well drinks! You can have 4 or 5 drinks within the hour and be set for the night. The bartenders were friendly and the one drink I had was strong! The post of napkins is a quirky yet nice touch, and my friend and I actually had a great time decorating a 3inx3in napkin. The lighting is sortve dim and sets a nice mood for post-work drinks. I'll definitely be back on a weekday at 7! read more

The staff helped themselves to the things in my luggage! They allow you to check your bag at checking in and out. I left to get coffee, only to find several items missing. The other travelers are easier to leave with you luggage. Anna Marie is the worst staff member. read more

This was my first hostel experience, and I loved every moment. The staff was really friendly and kind. I was a little nervous, but Anna-Maria was amazing about educating me and my husband and explaining everything and helping us understand. Her knowledgeable insight and approach were like artwork. I was nervous, scared, and a little shy at first with my guard up, but she eased me to being comfortable and by the 2 day I was there having a great time. Breakfast time was my favorite time. The whole vibe that the staff creates for the guests makes everyone feel at home. I will most definitely come back!! And tell all my friends and family about this place. read more

When I arrived I was greeted with warm welcomes from the friendly staff. They were more than accommodating and helpful with my check-in process and navigating the city. The rooms were super spacious with convenient side tables, outlets, lockers, and all the basic amenities I needed. I'm a sucker for architecture, so I was in LOVE with the newly renovated building that oozed modern industrial with a nautical decor. Not to mention, the location was right in front of the trolley and a short drive to the french quarters. With 5 star ratings, who wouldn't want to check this place out!! I loved it so much that I even wrote about it on my lifestyle blog- https://afroinamerica.com/2018/02/09/my-first-hostel-experience-new-orleans-baby/ Check it out! read more

The Quisby - Hotels Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Stayed here for a weekend conference. This was my first time in New Orleans, and the experience was definitely enhanced by staying at The Quisby. First of all, the concept is great and caters to young people. A European-like hostel in one of the coolest cities in America. There are shared rooms and private ones. I stayed in a room with two other guys. The check-in desk also serves as a 24 hour bar. The staff is great at giving suggestions for places to eat and sights to see. Free breakfast in the morning, and on occasion they bring in a local chef to sell their food in the hostel for dinner. Very convenient and an awesome way to support small businesses! The rooms are clean and stocked appropriately. Biggest concern is that the walls are thin, so it's easy to hear what's going on in the rooms next to you. It's hard to get some sleep if you have loud and drunk neighbors (which in a hostel in New Orleans, is to be expected). Also the sink and toilet are in separate areas. I didn't like having to leave the bathroom to wash my hands. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap place to sleep in the Big Easy! read more

I have stayed here twice. The first time I stayed, the service was terrible and the people who worked there were AWFUL! So, so, so incredibly rude to the point where I felt uncomfortable staying there. It seemed like no one wanted to be there and acted as if you had punched their first born if you spoke to them and asked for an ounce of help or had any questions to ask. I received responses like, "what do you want me to do about it," "what do you want," & as I was checking out - the woman didn't even bother to look at me as I stood there at the desk patiently waiting to be helped. She then just got up and walked to the back. The location itself has really cool decoration & is cute. So, I stayed there again a few weeks later thinking that maybe everyone was having a bad day or maybe I got a bad batch of people that worked there and hopefully they would all be fired by the next stay. Empathy. Nope. I stayed again and it has become abundantly clear that this place is just crawling with people hired off the street that just need a check. Everyone has/had a MAJOR attitude, eye rolls, and a lack of care of any customer service. The service that I received and the way I was spoken to throughout my stay & over the phone when trying to ask questions was the worst service I have ever experienced. Rude, disrespectful, uncomfortable, beyond trashy, & embarrassing. I would normally say, "you get what you pay for. What do you expect for $50 a night?" But the service here is so so so uncomfortably rude that I would almost rather just be completely ignored. The $15-$20 extra to stay somewhere else is completely worth it! Southern hospitality must be a myth. read more

Horrible experience, drug paraphernalia in bathroom, unprofessional assistant manager, staff can be heard speaking poorly of guests. Dirty sheets, stolen property, etc. read more

Amazing people, lovely hostel, a haven from the chaos of a literal pandemic during a strange and scary time. I checked-in to the Quisby after getting kicked off my college campus, desperate for a last chance at freedom before several months of isolation in impossible-to-walk suburbs. Given the circumstances, I wasn't expecting to be having the time of my life. But the $2 wells during Happy Hour gave me a chance for social interaction that (probably) won't kill someone, and I met some really cool people in my couple days there. Location was great for hopping on the streetcar up to the French Quarter or the bus down to Magazine Street. Right next to a Popeye's, but walk about fifteen minutes to find incredible fried chicken place at Gus'. Also a very easy walk to the Garden District.

I am very happy to write a this review. I spend 4 nights over here. I was worried about stay because they charged very small amount from me. I told I wanna stay one night only. Once I enter reception lady help me about my stay. She explained about all facilities . When I reached my room, everything was there what they mentioned on website and review. I liked to much the room I extended with more three nights. This guy are very helpful. In the lobby they have refrigerators,Loundry,wifi & breakfast too. One more things hotel is very near to canal street. Very easy to reach here. I highly recommend this hotel. I had good time. I could have given more than 5*. read more

Absolutely love the Quisby got me through my transition of life! Stayed here on 2020 at the start of the pandemic never had more than one other person in the room! Came to revisit the bar with a friend tonight had a great experience with the bartender but the gay black guy got mad at me and asked me for $2000 to take his video when I asked him if he was serious cause that's a "cunty" price he then, told me I should be more respectful to the staff meanwhile his only request was to delete the video,"which I agreed to do so" but when I did so, he got very rude and asked me to leave and never come back to which his coworkers and the person whom invite me there were very confused for his rudeness and sharp sass which I never prompted! I was just sad cause as another black person I never thought I would feel that type of power struggle or angst at a place that absolutely had nothing but the most sheltering staff I've ever encountered and was type disappointed. I'm sorry this 5 star usual experience was not what I cared to endure. & I wish I kept the picture, to show horrible staffing for a hostile dealing with multi cultures . Not sorry. Angry . read more

Adding to the praise that is The Quisby. For such a low price it's a great deal! I was skeptical too at first but man, this place is safe and cool. My friend and I stayed here to save some coin because we were just coming in town for a concert one night. We shared a room with two other strangers (women). They were pretty cool and we got along. This place has a pretty cool bar, they have a list of cool local things you might want to do and they have events there each night. Such a cute spot that I will return to! read more

Very clean hostel. Their happy hour is almost too good to be true. There is also a street car right across the street from here! It will take you where you need to go. read more

This was my first Hostel experience and honestly it was a pleasant one! It was clean, the staff was friendly and it was very homey! They had events going on downstairs every night. However, the rooms are small so if you need a lot of space, keep that in mind. For NOLA it's pretty affordable so check it out. Keep in mind that you won't be staying in the city but there's a trolley right outside the building that you can ride! If not, it's about a 25 minute walk to Canal street! Overall I would stay here again! read more

I was referred to this hostel from a friend who stayed here last year during Tales of the Cocktail. Very trendy hipster hostel with a cocktail bar. Only stayed here one night and had a great experience. I was on the third floor in a co-ed bunk. The other bunkmates were respectful of my space and quite. Breakfast was included, pretty basic but had a few different options. They did not offer parking but there was plenty of street parking close by. This was a better option to a Air BnB and will stay here next time Im in NOLA read more

Decided to go for a quick trip with my girls in New Orleans and the search for a cheap, clean and safe accommodation begun. The Quisby is exactly what we were looking for. We initially found it first in airbnb and can't believe how cheap it is and so we had to do some research (meaning we googled the place) and found out that the the place was legit! We even found cheaper deals on their website because we were all students! They offer some student discounts on both shared and private rooms. So we went for it and booked a private room! Getting there was easy. It took between 12-16 mins from the airport to the place. Popeyes and Wendys are walking distance from the Quisby if you ever find yourself hungry and needed a quick fix. It was also walking distance to World War II Museum! On our first night, we ate at Cochon which is 4-5 mins uber away! (Highly recommended) I felt safe for the whole duration of our stay there. There were homeless 2 blocks away from the hostel but that didn't bother me. Upon getting there, I was amazed ho hip the place is. There is a lounge area to chill while waiting for uber/lyft. Reading materials and board games are available too! There is a big board with all the activities you can do in New Orleans! Walk 4 more steps and you'll see a bar/front desk! We were kind lost when we got there because we didn't know where to check in hahahaha. All staff were accommodating and friendly! Bar area offers any drink you can think of! Just ask anything and 90% they can make it for you. They have a communal kitchen area at the far end of the bar with microwave, toaster, fridge, water dispenser, utensils, bowls and plates and cups. That's where they lay out the complimentary breakfast too. They serve bagels, donuts, biscuits, peanut butter, salami, cheese, coffee, orange juice, milk and fruits (banana and apple) for breakfast. Our room was on second floor. First impression when we got in, it's like we're in a dorm!! There were 2 bunk beds and 4 lockers. There was a sink outside the bathroom which is smart! Towels are provided upon check in. Each bed has a thick blanket and 1 pillow. You can ask more pillows at the front desk. The room was sparkly clean and the sheets smelled clean too. Everything actually in the room is clean! The private room was perfect for us. The Quisby is 8-10 mins uber/lyft away from the French Quarter which made this place a ver convenient one. We will definitely come back to this place if we ever find ourselves lost in New Orleans again! read more

Whether you're traveling alone or with friends... this is the best place to stay! This hostel offers 2, 4 or 6 bunk rooms (mixed or female only). Thr beds are comfortable, wifi is complimentary and fast, there's a bar downstairs open 24/7 that includes continental breakfast from 8-10 and towels at check in. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm and felt insanely comfortable! To get to the french quarter is a 15 min ride on the streetcars or 20 mins on foot. I will definitely be back! read more

Called to get a room because they stated they had a room. We paid and drove over 2 hours to get there. Once we arrived, we were told we had to have proof of vaccination or proof of negative COVID test to stay there. That was not told to us on the phone or before making payment. No apologies to us and very unprofessional. This is the United States, you dont have to carry that kind of information around. They wouldn't give us the name of the owner or general manager. A mask is one thing and we would have complied with that but that was not necessary. read more
