Atlas House

New Orleans


A clean, colorful hostel that provides that good old backpacker vibe, albeit a more laid-back version than you may expect in New Orleans. If you're older, look elsewhere (or book a private room); the dorms are only available to international or out-of-state travelers under the age of 33, or American students with a student ID.
