United States“Clean, bright, inviting, with some individual bathrooms and extra towels, and free coffee, tea, rice, and pasta! Great location too!” - Bryan United States“The location was perfect if you want to stay near all the bars/night life in the Gaslamp Quarter. The rooms and bathrooms throughout the building were kept clean.”
Sharon United States“This is my first hostel experience, when I started staying in a hostel . I return often, and it's my home away from home base. They have grown, and are always improving . The Staff is always Welcoming, they listen to you,, Share your concerns....”- John United States“There was no breakfast offered. I believe it was room 409.”
- Diana United States“Very great location work wise as a brand ambassador.”
- Paul United States“Overall a good experience. The lounge and kitchen area was great. Nice TV and it had a charging station which is nice. Beds were not super comfortable and it was very hard to get up to the top bunk. I'm 62 and overweight so it was very risky. ...”

Peru“No breakfast included, that was a bummer. But we had coffee and tea all day long. Also great and enough storage for our food. Even though I was in a 6 female bed room, we had bed curtains that gave us privacy”- Christine United States“I loved the open space on the second floor with the game room and kitchen. I also loved the shower timer that helped keep showers short.”
- Cheri United States“The staff were outstanding, the location was wonderful and the place was clean.”
