Must try!
I had a wonderful week in the heart of Gaslamp. The staff was really kind and provided good service. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, however it could do with a couple of protein options. The location of the hostel is perfect for exploring most of the iconic parts of the city. I hope to be back once again!

Smaller than expected for the room. A cockroach was in the shower upon arrival, not allowed to set the air conditioner lower than 72. Staff was very helpful and kind and the building is badged for entry, they also check to make sure all visitor's are carrying their badge to maintain security.

The staff was outstanding, moving my room after first night experience of Sat. night's outside "bar smokers" whose smoke smell wafting up to my room. They didn't hesitate to move me to another room the next morning, and provided a slight "upgrade" without my request. Very nice room they moved me into. BTW, the other guests were very chill. Definitely will go back!
