The hostel was comfortable. The building is old but overall kept fine and has its charm. I didn't need to use the TV I didn't see the remote but I didn't ask. --The temperature was comfortable, there was A/C, not sure how would be heated in case of cold weather (heater?), or it may have been centralized. The kitchen, wi-fi, and laundry room were available. Coffee for 3$ at the reception was good and some pastries were available. The staff was attentive and provided me with a lamp. In the queen single room a folding table and a stool may help as well as a support for the luggage. It probably was the most comfortable bed, pillow and linens I have ever used. Parking was available through the hostel, so inquire with the staff. Restroom and showers were kept clean.

Lucky D's Hostel review.
The best part of Lucky D is the location. You are just 3 short blocks aways from 5th Ave in the Gaslamp District. It is great place to roam and check the many restaurants and bars. The restaurants and bars here are more expensive, but it is a cool location all the same. Lucky D was also affordable. I selected a private room but with a shared bathroom. I was disappointed that there was no TV in the room, and it definitely appeared as if there should have been one because you saw what appeared to the wall hanger for the TV at one time. The internet access was great. While it did not have air conditioning, it was not bad since there was a ceiling fan. It needs to be updated and there are some simple things that would have made a better overall impression such as having a lamp shade on the lamp instead of just a light bulb. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. For the price and location, I would stay again.

The property made me think of Europe or the Pacific Northwest-artsy, bohemian, clean and eclectic. The guy checking me was the only drawback, he seemed bothered by the fact he had to check me in. I had to ask questions just in order to find my room. Other than that, it was great and I would stay again.

It's a hostel. It has a funny smell but it's also an older building so that's somewhat expected. Check in was super easy and the staff was friendly. Some people don't clean up after themselves but that's not the staff's fault. Just keep it in mind when using the shower or restrooms. Overall it was a good experience. I came here for a conference and everything was walking distance. I'm originally from a big city so outside noise is actually comforting to me. That being said, night life is very much alive and well on the weekend here. If you are looking for something affordable to rest your head while exploring the city this is it.

2nd chance much better.
Alright this time I've gave it a 2nd chance and had much better experience. Was able to get a private room this time and I was in perfect spot by the shower room and toilet room. Plus was nice to check out amenities. Also kitchen still has its charm. Room was basic but perfect for if you need to crash on solo work or trip. The only negative was the street noise but can't complain much since I had a better room. In fact I hope to return in the future.

Online the picture of the private room had AC, ours didn’t. Only 4 person rooms must have AC. Area is extremely loud, being in the heart of the city. Restrooms were not very clean, urine on the ground. Overall, just not as shown online.
