FABULOUS
This place is wonderful! The staff is super friendly and helpful. They treat you like a long time friend. Not once did I see something dirty or messy. As a single lady, I felt completely safe and in good company. If I come back to San Diego, this is where I’m staying!

One night only
I recommend staying at a Hostel no more than a night maybe 2. This hostel is like a foreign flower power party. Music is going on all night on top of the fact that the Gaslamp district itself doesnt shut down until 1am so bring noise cancelling headphones because its NOISY!!! It wasnt a horrible stay but I dont like sharing bathrooms like its a public restroom. And the housekeeping should clean earlier in the morning before 8am not at 9am when everyone is up and needs to get into the restrooms. Theres 2 bathrooms each with 4 toilets and 4 showers so thats 8 toilets and 8 showers for a hostel that houses over 100 guest. Not smart! Overall it was an ok stay and the staff was really nice.

A dorm for adults
First time staying in a hostel. This one is a whole vibe like an adult dormitory that doesnt sleep until late. I recommend staying no more than 1 maybe 2 night's. The bunk bed situation is not desirable for longer stays. Most of the staff are all young foreign kids. Nice kids but the manager needs to train them better for check in. And have housekeeping clean the bathrooms BEFORE 8am. They have a great kitchen area where you can actually buy groceries and cook your own meals. Thats a plus.

10/10 Exceptional

The Gaslamp hostel is an excellent place to stay in heart of downtown San Diego for budget travelers. It's close to the airport and several major tourist attractions and also has amazing dining options around. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the amenities are well maintained and clean. The only downside is that since it is located in a bustling area, over the weekends, it was extremely noisy in the area around and hence quite difficult to sleep with with all the party sounds pouring in. For a light sleeper like me, that was a real challenge but perhaps for a heavy sleeper, it would be fine. And the room walls are paper thin, so there was also a lot of noise coming from the other rooms. But overall, I cannot complain much. I would stay there again, despite the noise issue.

I traveled a long way from home by myself for the first time ever! I felt safe. Staff and other guests are super friendly! It's close to anything you could ever want/need. While I didn’t attend, they do something different for the guests 6 out of 7 days of the week. Everything is clean. It smelled nice. Huge fan of the big windows, natural lighting, and overall funky aesthetic! Thank you Gaslamp Hostel for aiding in my unforgettable trip!!
