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.

Stayed here many times. Location is great and they have a few nights where they have activities. Wifi reception has been spotty in the past but was good this time around. One drawback this time from past visits is that their water filtration machhine was out of order. I had 2 separate stays over a 2 week span and they never fixed this. Also lots of painting going on during part of my stay. I saw a few guests with paint on their shirts!

Always a comfortable and welcoming place
Staff does a great job of keeping things clean, organizing events, and creating an atmosphere of comfort, safety, and socialization. As with any hostel, a positive is that people from all walks of life and every region of the US and the world come together here. It can, however, also be a pain point (also in any hostel) as it seems it is not universally considered rude to have blaringly loud conversations or video on speaker phone at all hours of the night, or to make as much noise as one wants by coming in, going out, or accessing luggage or lockers at all hours of the night. That being said, Gaslamp Hostel is one of the best at mitigating that and creating a pleasant place.
