One of the best locations to stay in Gaslamp. Everything is walking distance. The rooms are well ventilated and decent size to relax and re energize. The only downside is that the room did not come with an iron or hair dryer. Besides that, it was a great place. I would definitely come back to stay there.

This self-managed hostel is right in the Gaslamp area of SD which was great for night life and transportation. The property managers are very communicative and responsive to questions. My room was well kept, expect there was a wall light without anywhere to plug it in and a slight draft from a broken window. Otherwise, the other amenities in the room were great.

The property is in a good location. However, my door handle felt a bit broken although you don't need it because of the electronic lock. Overall the location met my needs. However, i feel that some of the interior could be improved and would have liked some capability of storing luggage securely which is something i often use on the day i'm checking out.

For the price you pay, this is a great option. It is definitely bare bones, but you have all the basics you need. There are some rooms that are more exposed to the street noise than others. If you are concerned about noise, make sure to work with the staff to get a more insulated room. There are shared showers as advertised. The showers are up to date hotel grade showers that are gendered and lock from the inside. I felt safe and had no problem using them as a woman. I barely saw any other guests while there. I would recommend if you are on a longer trip to pack a smaller bag for your nights here to make it easier to get up the stairs and store clothes. The location is excellent and accessible to all things downtown. The hotel staff was very responsive and friendly vua app communication. Parking at park it on market was reasonably priced.

I loved that this was an inexpensive option that was clean and comfortable. It wasn’t so bad to use a restroom across the hall and they had clean showers. I loved that we had a sink and microwave in our room with closet space and space for food prep. There was a room fan that worked well and we opened the window for some fresh air. The entrance is an unassuming door on the street, so it can be a little easy to miss. My main issue was noise. Sunday night was the worst with people coming in late at all hours and making so much noise in the hallways, which seemed to magnify it because they are tiled not carpet. Also, there was street construction outside our window with a jackhammer going on at 1 AM in the morning. There were only two pillows on the bed, which meant that since we had two people, I didn’t have an extra pillow to put over my head to help block out the noise. So the first night my sleep quality was very poor. When I reached out to the management, they said they couldn’t help with an additional pillow, but one of the staff members found me a decorative pillow to use. I also bought ear plugs, and so the subsequent nights weren’t so bad and I was able to get decent sleep. Overall, if you’re trying to save money, this is a decent option.

The place was awful. The entire hotel smelled dirty, and the shared bathrooms were filthy. There were drunk residents partying loudly all night, and no staff or attendant was present to handle the situation. I couldn’t get any sleep and felt completely unsafe. Definitely not worth the money, and I would never stay here again.
