Colorful, Social Hostel in the Heart of New Orleans

Modern, laid-back, and full of character, HOSTEL Auberge NOLA is a fun and friendly spot for travelers looking to stay close to the city's music scene without breaking the bank. Located just off the historic St. Charles Streetcar line, this hostel puts you minutes from live music venues, the Garden District, and the French Quarter.

Each room is air-conditioned and includes fresh linens, towels, and access to shared bathrooms with hairdryers. Guests can also enjoy a garden, BBQ area, shared kitchen, and game room—all great for meeting fellow music fans.

Why Concert-goers love it

First off, location. Just a block from the St. Charles Streetcar line, getting to and from gigs—whether in the French Quarter or Uptown—is quick and easy, even late at night. Despite being in the heart of the action, the hostel manages to stay relatively peaceful, making it a good place to crash after a long night. Free parking is a bonus for road-trippers, and the flexible, social vibe makes it easy to connect with fellow concert-goers.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable base near music venues
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist and new connections
• Couples who want a fun, social weekend in the city
• Fans who want a chill place to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind shared spaces

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the shared kitchen and BBQ area make it easy to whip up late-night snacks. You're also within walking distance of local eateries and corner stores for quick bites. Morning after? Brew some coffee in the kitchen or head out to nearby cafes for a proper breakfast.

Nightlife Options

No need to go far—this hostel is surrounded by bars and clubs along the St. Charles Avenue corridor and just a short ride to the French Quarter. The hostel itself hosts nightly social events, perfect for pre-gaming or winding down after a gig. Don’t miss the communal vibe in the shared lounge, where music fans trade stories and playlists.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the super friendly staff, the clean facilities, and the social atmosphere. Many say it’s one of the best hostels in the U.S. for meeting people, and reviews highlight its excellent location and value. The complimentary events and free parking are big hits, especially for travelers on a budget.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a hostel, so expect shared bathrooms and dorm-style living—not total privacy. Some guests mention that it can get a little noisy during social events, so light sleepers may want earplugs. No elevator, so pack light if you’re on the top floor!

The Bottom Line

If you're craving an affordable, social, and well-located place to stay while catching shows in New Orleans, HOSTEL Auberge NOLA hits all the right notes.
