It was an great stay for the limited time that we were spending in the hotel while being at the convention for the weekend. The staff was friendly and the property was an easy walk to the convention center.

Simple and affordable however the room we stayed in needed some repairs especially the floor yet I understand the building must be old

Must try!
I had a wonderful week in the heart of Gaslamp. The staff was really kind and provided good service. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, however it could do with a couple of protein options. The location of the hostel is perfect for exploring most of the iconic parts of the city. I hope to be back once again!

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.
