was in a 5 private room, with 2 rooms, huge living room!!
heard there were bed bugs, but didnt see any, so I loved it!
ANd the area is great too : by the tramway : go there!

Don't go there! We were attracted for the price (20 $ for Nola is quite cheap) but is not worth. It's dirty, the staff is unkind, the place is creepy and not so close to the center! Really bad experience, the rooms are full of dead cockroches, and we had the feeling that there are Bed bugs too.

This is a very nicely located and fairly hospitable hostel, but "filthy" is not an exageration.
They are loose with the rules (fine with me! Lots of fun was had drinkin' it up on the large patio), but security could be a concern for some people.
I would stay again, since the price is right (especially when there is a fest going on and hotel costs get outragous) and I spend precious little time actually trying to sleep when I'm in this city. Anyone who is used to hotel level diggs and normal HI hostels, should probably not go for this one though, unless it's a last resort. Just sayin'!

Checked into Marquette house and checked straight back out again that evening! Cheap? Yes very! Clean? Not at all!!!!! When we went into our private room we straight away wanted to leave! First off the room had a horrible smell to it and was very unclean! The bin in the bathroom had somebody elses hair in it! We then had a quick nap and got bitten by bed bugs! Found some later in one of our handbags! The sorrounding area is also a little iffy! Only one street from the hood apparently as the guy told us. Most of the staff are very helpful but the places its self is horrible. We decided that we wanted to leave after leaving to go out in the evening. As two girls we did not feel safe walking around the area let alone coming back that night! The private rooms are seperate from the main building, across the road. We were put into a room away from the main building and nobody was in the rooms around. We also did not feel that the rooms were 100% secure. In the end we ended up paying to stay in a hotel in centre of town, we did not care how much extra it was we just wanted to get out!!!!!!!!!!!! Never agin!!!!!!!!
