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 :)
Arielle, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a really great hostel option near everything in the Gaslamp Quarter. Check-in was simple and the space is quirky. I didn’t check out the shared space or kitchen but they are available. The front desk had a flier for daily events and there were plenty of fliers for other activities in the area. We had a private room, #22, which is right at the top of the stairs and didn’t hear a peep all night. The beds were very comfy and the pillows were firm. The communal bathroom was safe and clean too. This was a great option for a downtown stay and will be the first spot I look for when I’m back in town.

10/10 Excellent

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.

The best hostel to stay!! From check-in/out, the staff and other guest were amazing. The rooms were completely clean and bathrooms spotless!! Definitely will stay there over a crazy priceless hotel. 💯🎈
Leroy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 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
