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!!

Staff was very friendly. Rooms all have locks on them and have charging lockers inside to keep belongings safe. They have social events every day in case you’re looking for something to break the ice. Def would stay again.

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.
