Right from the start was greeted with warmth by coco and mesha who explained everything in detail. The facility is a perfect space to stay in the heart of San Diegos gaslight district.i would highly recommend and will stay here again when in town.

this place is bad. Plus, location is pretty noisy. Unless you’re heavy sleeper then you might be tolerating reserving a stay at this bad location.☪️

The hostel was comfortable. The building is old but overall kept fine and has its charm. I didn't need to use the TV I didn't see the remote but I didn't ask. --The temperature was comfortable, there was A/C, not sure how would be heated in case of cold weather (heater?), or it may have been centralized. The kitchen, wi-fi, and laundry room were available. Coffee for 3$ at the reception was good and some pastries were available. The staff was attentive and provided me with a lamp. In the queen single room a folding table and a stool may help as well as a support for the luggage. It probably was the most comfortable bed, pillow and linens I have ever used. Parking was available through the hostel, so inquire with the staff. Restroom and showers were kept clean.
