Fantastic place
They did a lovely job remodeling the place. I had a emergecy to handle shortiy after I arrived out of town and they were kind enough to refund my stay. Cassie and the rest of the staff there are easily approachable and friendly. Trust me if you wanna stay in New Orleans give this place a shot you wont be dissapointed.

Hostel over hotel any day
This was the first time being in a hostel, and I just want to say that it was safer than being in a hotel room somewhere else during a solo trip. The area wasn’t too bad, but I’m glad I had roommates that were nice as well. Whenever I’m in New Orleans again, I will book again

Not a chain.
Beautiful old house, with a variety of accommodation choices. My room was huge, if sparely furnished, with a comfortable bed and good linens. Communal kitchen available, but in NOLA why would you want to cook! Mid town area, easy access to public transport and a number of good restaurants within an easy walk. I had a great time.

Cramped house ran by non-locals who make up rules based on how they feel. No breakfast, laundry is $10, messy rooms, and roommates will regularly wake you up in the night. Was removed from my room on the second night of a one week trip with no refund. Dangerous area and unhelpful "staff."

The house has its own culture that I can't express in words. Cass oversees the hostel pretty well and I love how she responded fast to my request in the Whatsapp group even it's out of work hours. She deserves 10/10.

Unsafe and rip-off! Property in unsafe neighborhood with limited parking on street. Booked a 2 night stay but when arrived in the early evening, around 5pm,front door locked and not able to check in. Called number posted on front door for hostel employee to check in several times, but no answer and no call back. Charged for 2 nights for room we never stayed in. RIP OFF! Hostel was old and rundown from outside.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Site 61 gave my partner and I a self-sufficient, comfortable, and clean basecamp to explore New Orleans. The hostel is close to any bus line, with a 20 min walk to the nearest trolley stop. The house is next to a busy highway, but inside is quiet and peaceful. The service was mixed, due to only having one person on staff at a time. Our original room got double-booked, which led to an awkward and frustrating change when we first arrived, unlocking the door to someone already asleep. We ended up in a private double, small and simple, but perfect for our needs. I enjoyed the backyard area and can imagine the space is great in the summer, with an outside bar. The community kitchen with double sinks and portable stove made cooking easy. Site 61 strikes a nice balance between cleanliness, privacy, and group spaces, as far as hostels go. The service staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for. Pros: The hostel itself was fairly clean and the bathrooms were cleaned daily. Most of the staff are extremely friendly. Nice study/lounge room and patio. WiFi was not working when I got there but they fixed it by the next day. Room temperature was ok. Not too loud outside. Cons: Disorganized check in. Never received key to the room so it was unlocked all the time. Door to shared room wasn’t working closing properly. Shared room smelled like alcohol. No oven or stove, just a microwave and hot plate. Disorganized check out.

Look elsewhere for better value on holidays/events
TLDR: Positive hostel experience, but at an average of $190/night for a private room during Jazz Fest, the extra $20-50 of a hotel room is worth it for the attached bathroom, additional amenities, and extra space. Pros: Beautiful restored building. Basic breakfast. Staff was helpful and other guests were friendly. Great AC, comfortable beds, and mostly very clean and quiet. Note that unless you arrive before 4-6 pm, you need to contact the property in advance to get contactless check-in instructions. Cons: Other reviews have commented on the type of neighborhood... The hostel is on a block that is indeed a bit sketchy, and it neighbors a junk yard and busy road (see pic). But you only need to walk a block to get to a scenic residential neighborhood. I did feel safe the whole time. Keep in mind that the private room is veryyy small. The door also didn't stay closed unless you locked it, which became annoying if one person stayed in the room while the other went to the bathroom. There were only 3 shared bathrooms on the hall, so there was sometimes a line, and they lacked a shelf to put a toiletry bag on. Mostly, given all the above, I found the hostel to be far too expensive for what you get, and I'd recommend finding a hotel instead.
