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!!

The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, and they keep the facilities clean and well organized. My only recommendation is to clean the bathrooms earlier in the morning (around 7:00 am) rather than close them off for cleaning during a peak hour (at 8:00 am).

Stayed here many times. Location is great and they have a few nights where they have activities. Wifi reception has been spotty in the past but was good this time around. One drawback this time from past visits is that their water filtration machhine was out of order. I had 2 separate stays over a 2 week span and they never fixed this. Also lots of painting going on during part of my stay. I saw a few guests with paint on their shirts!

Great place for a one-night vacation. Other guests were very respectful in the shared bathroom, the kitchen and other common areas.

Staff does a great job of keeping things clean, organizing events, and creating an atmosphere of comfort, safety, and socialization.
As with any hostel, a positive is that people from all walks of life and every region of the US and the world come together here. It can, however, also be a pain point (also in any hostel) as it seems it is not universally considered rude to have blaringly loud conversations or video on speaker phone at all hours of the night, or to make as much noise as one wants by coming in, going out, or accessing luggage or lockers at all hours of the night.
That being said, Gaslamp Hostel is one of the best at mitigating that and creating a pleasant place.

Having stayed in the hostel years before I had found it to be a clean, relatively quiet, and professional affordable option in the heart of San Diego and a special gem for large events such as San Diego Comic Con. On this trip I found the hostel to very noisy - with patrons partying in the lobby well past the posted noise hours and general disregard for shared toilet and shower space (while I was brushing my teeth I saw a patron use the shower as a toilet). I also experienced issues with my check in and when I tried to return to my room for bedtime around 11pm found my key no longer worked. When I tried to contact night staff to let me into my room I had to wait for 10 mins before a night staff member appeared - during which time I noticed an open can of beer behind the desk. If you are in your 20s and want a heavy party environment resembling a college dorm this is the hostel for you.

This was my first time staying at a hostel, although I did opt for an individual room. The room was small - no frills - but comfortable. The bathroom facilities were shared but clean, and I never had to wait to use a toilet or shower. Convenient walking distance to the convention center, lots of food options in the neighborhood, friendly staff - if I ever find myself back in San Diego, this will be my first choice for lodging.
