Staff was very friendly. Rooms all have locks on them and have charging lockers inside to keep belongings safe. They have social events every day in case you’re looking for something to break the ice. Def would stay again.

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.

We loved the charm of the place. Had a private room with shared bathroom. Bathroom was clean. Staff were super nice and friendly. It’s right on a busy street so bring earplugs if it’s a weekend. Would definitely stay there again.

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!!
