Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very helpful staff - let us use their phones for airline bookings etc.
Lots of stairs, no lifts - tricky with big bags.
This place is a nightmare. I don’t know where the good reviews come from. The place is falling apart and cold. There are hols on the windows when you can’t sleep at night. They are trying the best to keep it clean , but the conditions of the place does not help
Amazing stay, especially on a budget. You get to meet lots of fun and interesting people. The staff is super nice and they keep the place really clean.
Amazing place full of amazing people. Stay here if you want to befriend other cool likeminded travelers from around the country/world. Staying at India House made our trip to New Orleans so amazing!! Will stay there any time I’m back.
