City House is a great place to stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, it’s a 10 minute walk from Bourbon St., and there are a lot of great amenities. Be warned, though, they are very strict about their rules.

Great staff and experience.

Had a great experience with the room, stay, and staff. Everybody was friendly and accommodating, and helped my first solo trip experience feel like I had friends with me. They readily gave me great recommendations and even showed us around during the daily activities. The rooms and bathrooms were also always available and very clean. I would recommend to anyone.
