“Gaslamp Hostel has a fantastic location, even with occasional street closures that can complicate access. I found the decor spirited, and the staff clearly committed; I did note, however, that some rooms facing inward might feel a bit somber. With some attention to detail, such as a more substantial breakfast and bathroom supplies, this could easily be a top recommendation.”
