Madame Isabelle's House and hostel offers accommodation in New Orleans.

Some rooms include a seating area for your convenience. Madame Isabelle's House and hostel features free WiFi throughout the hostel. A TV with cable channels is provided.

The Volunteers and Sean were all exceptionally nice and helpful, even offering more food than just the provided breakfast, plus activities to do together. The hot tub? Amazing. The resident cat, which was probably just a coincidence, just made it perfect.

    Fantastic hostel. The staff was super cool, check in and out was super easy (all virtual, no need to give back keys or anything). Great location, all was clean and organized. Definitely recommend for solo travelers, there were plenty of activities and it's a great place to meet new people.
