I think I will just repeat statements below, whatever... When I think that in these post-Katrina times, you can find a real hotel room for 45 bucks or so 2 blocks away from the French quarter, I'm asking myself, why I stayed in India house???? Just because I didn't find the other place before (too bad)! As for the staff,... more

This Place has cleaned up alot since I was here last. It's a beautiful enviornment with super friendly staff and amazing guests. I met so many people when I was there. The rooms are clean, the kitchen was sparkling and the BBQ's they cooked outback were tasty!! and still $17 A NIGHT! I can't wait to go back! more

My friend and I stayed at India House for three nights during the Voodoo Music Festival. We shared a twin private at the back of the courtyard but rooms were everywhere; in the main house, in the courtyard and the house next door. Staff were extremely helpful on arrival and throughout the stay. Though they were sometimes out socialising on... more

In India you get exactly what you pay for a bed to sleep. India has a character, something like that could happen only in the city of New Orleans. The hostel is fine, the bed and the bathrooms are OK. There are no lockers in the bed room they are in the hall. People are very friendly and helpful i... more

I went to IHH years ago. A time I would like to block out of my mind. After getting to the hostel in the middle of the day we dropped our bags and went out on foot. I forget where we were going, but we had asked the front desk person and we were following their directions. Across the street... more

India House Hostel is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. I've traveled rather extensively across Europe and the United States. India House rates up there with the best in Europe, and is by far the best I've stayed at in the US. Let's get this out of the way right now, it's a hostel, and a partying... more

This hostel is cheap and it shows! I was there during Mardi Gras and it was freezing cold outside. Unfortunately, they want to save on heating, so it was just as cold inside! The beds were clean, but a thicker blanket would've been nice. Also, why not put a ladder on the bunkbeds so that short people can get up... more

Arriving for two nights, I was surprised that the room was so tiny and so costly. There was room for a bed and me. Hardcore partyers were drunk in the hostel, there was noise until quite early in the morning making it hard to sleep, the bathrooms were very small and primitive, and most important, the area is exceedingly unsafe.... more

The India House Hostel is, by far, my worst hostel experience ever. I'm comparing it with more than 50 other hostels in Australia. The rooms are smelly and dirty. All over the hostel, fungus is growing (and living well) on the walls and ceelings. You get greasy fingers if you touch anything in this hostel. The staff is rude and... more
