IHSP French Quarter House

Description

About us
After years of traveling together, two life long friends decided to start the IHSP French Quarter House to encompass everything they love about hostels and traveling and to be what they were always looking for while on the road--a home away from home. We are located in a traditional New Orleans house built in 1856, and still boasting many original features. The first hostel in New Orleans' French Quarter, we are ideally located within a ten minute walk of almost everything New Orleans has to

Accommodation
Our accommodations include two 12 bed dorm rooms, with bunk beds and ensuite bathrooms; a six bed dorm, with bunk beds and an ensuite bathroom; two private rooms with double beds and ensuite bathrooms, furnished with New Orleans antiques; and a private room with a twin bunk bed with an ensuite bathroom.

Services and activities
We welcome guests to enjoy the common room, to head outside to our shaded patio, or to cook traditional New Orleans cuisine in our kitchen. We offer free wifi throughout the building; a TV, free Netflix, and a speaker system in our common room; an outdoor grill; and free breakfast each morning. We host various events throughout the year, from Bourbon Street pub crawls, to Halloween parties, to crawfish boils, and Mardi Gras celebrations.

Surroundings
We are the first hostel in New Orleans' French Quarter--the heart of the city. Everything the city has to offer--from food and drink, to parties, to art galleries and museums, to some of the best jazz music in the world--is truly only minutes walking from our front door. Bourbon Street is less than five minutes away by walking; Frenchmen Street, Jackson Square, Cafe du Monde, and world renowned restaurants are only 10 to 15 minutes walking away.

Why should you stay with us
Here at the IHSP French Quarter House, we try to embody everything that makes the Big Easy the Big Easy. Let us be your home away from home as you dance the night away to the brass band in Jackson Square, as you feed the alligators from the airboats on the bayou, as you taste your first hurricane, and as you experience everything New Orleans has to offer.
