This was my first time staying in a Hostel and I'm so glad I did! The Gaslamp Hostel was a wonderful place to stay. It's not perfect. But it is quaint and very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you enjoy other fellow single travelers. Just an all around great place!

Great wonderful staff. Location is in the middle of Gaslamp District. Very convenient if your looking for a place to stay at the last minute. For those coming to Petco Park, I highly recommend, since it's knly 5 minutes walking.

Clean room, but there was a strong fecal odor like cat poop in the entire place including the entry area. My clothes even reeked of it after I left. You guys may have a mouse or rat problem that needs to be addressed - or someone has snuck a cat in. I very much appreciated the stay though, despite that! Everyone was friendly and I felt very safe.
