After reading quite many negative comments I was a bit worried about this place. But knowing people complain about almost everything nowadays I thought I'd give it a try. We spent there 3 nights in a room with 2 queen size beds and everything worked fine. Room could have been cleaner but for us it was no problem taking account... More

Just spent my Easter in NOL and stayed at the St Vincents Guest house. We had not been there since prior to Katrina. I admit it is NOT the Ritz ,it is an old place with alot of charm and history that fits the area well. We had a small dog and were charged 30$ non refundable deposit for him.... More

If you are about to book with the St Vincents hostel in New Orleans, turn around and run far away from your computer!! I spent two nights in one of the dorms and they were amongst the worst nights of my life. Firstly as everyone says the dorm rooms are dirty and stink of urine. The dorms are infact closer... More

This place may be cheap but it's very dirty and unsafe. Most of the hostel is taken up by people who live there full time and those who reside aren't the type of people you want to mix with on your travels, trust me on this. I did meet two guys who were fortunately very friendly and helpful but most... More

we booked a stay thru our travel agent with a 7 day cancel policy on our amex card. We cancelled 12 days prior but it's been 30 days now and even after several calls to them by our travel agent "we'll look into it" - no deposit refund. I just disputed the charge with amex but the initial response from... More

After reading some horrible reviews- I was nervous about staying here. I stayed in a private room. The sheets and towels and bathroom were clean. The floor was a little dirty, but not bad. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For such a good price- it is not bad at all!

There is a reason they have a NO REFUNDS policy! Bugs everywhere, dirty rooms, window panes missing, no AC, elevator doesn't exist that I could find, I could go on and on!!! I would never recommend this place if it were free!

I have read many of the reviews posted here about St. Vincent's. My sister and I stayed here this past week the three days following Mardi Gras. It is a bit of a walk to get to the French Quarter, but the grounds and grande old building are BEAUTIFUL! It used to be an Infant Orphan Asylum and has so... More

We stayed here for Mardi Gras and the location is PERFECT. You can walk everywhere, but even the streetcar is 4 blocks away on St Charles Ave. Magazine St itself is gorgeous, and has loads of great shops and dining facilities. We stayed in a dorm room, and were expecting the worse after reading reviews on here! The thing you... More
