This was the best hostel were I stayed at the west coast. The place is beautiful, it has a very nice atmosphere, it’s quiet, people are respectful, the breakfast is very good. Thank you so much!
Perfect stay. I knew it was going to be noisy because I saw lots of complaints but we didn’t mind it at all. You’re in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter for such a good price! It will be busy. It works best for people that are actually going out and enjoying the busyness of the street. I appreciate the free breakfast but I would recommend having additional options for different diets such as non-dairy creamers.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It’s ok for what it is. You have to make your own bed and some of the mattresses have weird stains on them.
I enjoyed staying in a private bedroom here. A bathroom/shower was always available when I needed one. I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the art in the hallways. Super convenient location, especially if you are attending something at the convention center. Great budget choice of accommodations.
