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).

위치도 다운타운에 있어 접근성이 좋다.
직원들이 친절하다. 시설도 깔끔하고 조리시설 및 세탁실이 있다. 배드버그는 발견하지 못했지만 침구류 및 방의 컨디션이 약간 신경쓰일 정도의 상태이다. (커버가 제공되긴 한다.)
락커가 있지만 자물쇠가 있어야 한다.
