New Orleans
This colorful place is larger than it looks. Half a block off Canal St in Mid-City, the hostel is a minicomplex of subtropically themed good times. The grounds include an above-ground pool, a cabana-like patio and well-worn old houses used for sleeping. And the ambience? India House has a free-spirited party atmosphere that got you backpacking in the first place.
Bunk beds include linen and tax. Guests can use the washer and dryer. Children not permitted.
