Liked: The character of the place. Had a lot of extra facilities for eg laundry and dryer, great kitchen facilities and you can buy home cooked meals there some of the days. Staff were helpful and friendly but a bit cliquey. Anyhow met some cool people there.
Disliked: It is a little out location wise but the streetcar stops just across the road.

Liked: Nice chill out place, staff is generally nice and helpful, the breakfast is worth it's small price.
Disliked: For a traveller like me, who only sleeps and showers at the hostel, this place is simply way too far from the downtown area, even though the street car stop was right next to the place (New Orleans streetcars ain't the most reliable). But if one doesn't mind this, definitely worth the price!

Liked: Really cool and fun hostel. Lots of nice people and good kitchen, Internet and a tv lounge. Had a really nice BBQ for only 5 bucks! The swamp tour they organized for me was great!
Disliked: Seems like it's in a little bit of a dodgy area and is a bit far from the tourist area. The kitchen seemed clean but I saw cockroaches alot :S. But don't let any of this put you off cause overall it was a great hostel.

Liked: The price is pretty good, I think I only paid $20 for one night.
Disliked: The rooms are not in the same building as the lobby, so if you happen to arrive when it is raining hard like I did, then you will be wet. The hostel has air conditioning a bit cold for some people. They could repaint some of the rooms and a bit more cleaning wouldn't hurt. Maybe it is me, but New Orleans seems to be a city in poverty and the area may appear safe to many.

Liked: Location was excellent - 50 metres to trolley to downtown. Felt safe also.
Disliked: 12 beds, 1 shower & 2 toilets (but no sink to wash hands in 2nd toilet). All not very clean. Kitchen area was a mess also. Couldn't find much gear to use in kitchen either.

Liked: Great hostel! Great common area makes it easy to meet new people, helpful staff, clean beds and showers! Location a bit far from the French Quarters however the streetcars are just across the streets, 20 dollars for a 5 day pass! 5 dollar breakfast: good value!
Disliked: Location is the only downside, could be a little shady to walk around in at night.

Liked: India House is an amazing place to stay. I loved the atmosphere, and the meals that they offer...as well as the free coffee. The outside area with the pool is super and quite a lovely place to sit and relax with other fellow travelers.
Disliked: The location is a bit outside of town, but not too far that you feel removed from the action.
