My stay at Gaslamp Hostel was absolutely fantastic! It was my first stay at a hostel, and I loved it. The staff were so courteous and friendly. The bathrooms were so clean and nicely maintained. The shared common room was a great place to chat with other people staying, and I got to make new friends.
I stayed at the hostel to attend a conference at the convention center. Even though breakfast usually starts at 8am, the staff opened the room much earlier, which was so convenient, because our conference started at 8am. I loved the wall decorations and the plants in the common areas. The notes and instructions posted in the common areas were cute and entertaining.
The location of the hostel was super convenient: close to the convention center and close to many good restaurants. The price was reasonable too. Overall I don't have any complaints!
