Would highly recommend Gaslamp Hostel! For my first hostel experience in years, I felt safe and welcome immediately upon arrival (which was very important to me traveling solo as a woman). The hostel itself has such a unique, homey, cozy vibe, and you'd never know that you were on a busy street downtown. Absolutely loved the funky art and colorful walls, the kitchen and upstairs eating area, and shower/laundry facilities. Everything was kept super clean, and the staff was super friendly and helpful with giving suggestions for local food/outings. This will definitely be my go-to stay whenever I'm back in the San Diego area :)

Great vintage vibe. Comfortable. Upgraded bathrooms were a plus. The staff at the check-in desk was helpful, considerate, but not overly friendly. That’s OK.

If I may start by saying this, everyone at the property is very professional and polite with all the guests. The rooms are good and it’s right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter for all your fun and enjoyment. Definitely worth noting that they have events on the property and they’re a lot of fun and very interactive. Overall, my week at Gaslamp was great with a lot of great people and memories.

Great vibes. Kinda stupid you can’t bring a guest into your private room. Or anyone that volunteers can’t go into your room. That’s pretty stupid. But so is California

Located in the heard of Gaslamp district this is a bit of an oasis. Very clean and organized shared bathrooms and kitchen facilities, compositionally shared lounges, fun social activities. Beds were small but comfortable. Guests and street noise were pretty manageable plus hostel offered ear plugs. I enjoyed my stay with my sister very much.

The most bang for your buck, and by far the best area to stay in, gaslamp quarter had excellent dining options, walk-ability, access to public transport and the ocean, etc. Inside the hostel we felt super safe, everything's clean, orderly, and has a wonderful charm that adds to the experience, even if you just need a quick bed and shower.

There was no toilet paper in the bathroom, so I had to open the stall door and yell for help. It was pretty embarrassing. Then when they brought some, there was no apology, just excuses. The staff was unfriendly and not helpful,

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!
