The Gaslamp hostel is an excellent place to stay in heart of downtown San Diego for budget travelers. It's close to the airport and several major tourist attractions and also has amazing dining options around. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the amenities are well maintained and clean. The only downside is that since it is located in a bustling area, over the weekends, it was extremely noisy in the area around and hence quite difficult to sleep with with all the party sounds pouring in. For a light sleeper like me, that was a real challenge but perhaps for a heavy sleeper, it would be fine. And the room walls are paper thin, so there was also a lot of noise coming from the other rooms. But overall, I cannot complain much. I would stay there again, despite the noise issue.

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!!

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.
