10/10 Exceptional

Awesome place.

Well this was the 2nd time I've used this hostal and will say the staff is super helpful, made some improvements and did enjoy the activities that they have. Kitchen and dinning area was still nice. Plus always getting some cool or awesome bunk mates. If you need a good place to crash for the night I'd recommend this place. Even if it's for your 1st time.

My first Hostel Experience

This was my first time staying at a hostel. I was kind of nervous, but they made me feel welcome. They allow you to hang in the lounge until your bed is ready and store your bags. They also was nice and showed me a book with stories of the history of the building. All staff was top notch.

10/10 Exceptional

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 :)

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
Laurie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

Awesome and amazing experience. I will definitely recommend staying here! Hostel staff was warm and welcoming upon arrival. I was by myself without my family and nervous and the staff help me so much when I needed it! I am so grateful first day in there. I had an amazing experience. I was blessed talking with the most amazing people from everywhere experiencing beautiful sites I have never seen before. The beaches bars and restaurants are walkable distance. They have social events and a nice clean kitchen! I would definitely recommend staying here with friends for a couple days experiencing life and come back to a safe and warm environment. Thank you Gaslight Hostel!!!!!!!!

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
