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 :)

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.

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!!!!!!!!
