This place was great as far as location and staff are concerned. I had a private room, but the place was very quiet in the evening that I don't think I would have had an issue sleeping in a dorm. This is one of the friendlier hostel's I've stayed at. The staff was great, the guests were great, the location was perfect. They will warn you to be smart about walking through the neighborhood at night, which I did appreciate. I never once felt unsafe during the short walk to he quarter. I would definitely recommend this place for budget travelers.

Me and two of my friends stayed here for two nights and it was an awful experience. We got bit by bed bugs and were refused a refund. Bed bugs are near impossible to get rid of and it is easy to take them home with you in your bag, etc. Also, the bathroom was clogged and when we brought it to the staff's attention they could have cared less. Also, the location is not the safest. Do not stay here!!

Its not a good sign when the taxi driver tells you that maybe we should look for somewhere safer to stay before we had even entered Flo&Joe's! The constant smell of gas, cold and uncleaned rooms was enough to put you off alone, not to mention the unsafe location, I would warn girls not to stay here. But to then have members of staff opening a locked door during the night and walking in to our room was the final straw! Rocky I think was one of the guys that worked here was the only good thing, really friendly and gave us tons of help of where to go ect.

I don't have any bad things to say about this hostel, really. The location is a 10 minute walk from the French Quarter, and the place is in great condition, but the best part is the staff, who really take the time to make sure you're comfortable and are having a good time. Highly recommended
