The Quisby – A Favorite for Families in New Orleans

The Quisby offers private and shared rooms with bunk beds designed by Swiss woodworker Heinz Gautschi. Options include queen rooms for couples, standard quad rooms for four, female-only dorms, and six-bed shared rooms with views of St Charles Avenue. All rooms have private bathrooms, memory foam mattresses, bedside outlets, and locking luggage storage. Sturdy windows block street noise.

The lobby bar hosts local DJs on Fridays and Saturdays, with mocktails available for non-drinkers. Events include Harry Potter trivia on the last Thursday of each month. The Quartz Bar features live music, and artists can arrange accommodations in exchange for performances.

The Quisby is on St Charles Avenue, where Mardi Gras parades pass by. It's a 10-minute streetcar ride to the French Quarter and within walking distance of the Garden District, Magazine Street, and Treme's soul food spots. Nearby landmarks include Caesars Superdome, Harrah's Casino, and the National WWII Museum.

The NORTA 202 Bus runs from the airport to Union Passenger Terminal, with stops at 06:10, 06:30, 07:30, and other times. The St Charles Avenue Streetcar stops steps from the hostel, connecting to downtown and uptown. Taxis and rideshares take 30 minutes from the airport.

Guests get free continental breakfast with baked goods, oatmeal, grits, and coffee. The 24-hour front desk assists with tour bookings and local tips. Amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and a library. Laundry facilities are available on-site.
