Gaslamp Hostel

Located in a historic Victorian-style 1880's building in the center of the downtown Gaslamp Quarter, our brightly colored, eclectically decorated hostel makes a statement worthy of posting on Instagram. With its double staircase and skylit atrium our hostel is a nod to the Wild West days of San Diego.

Formerly a brothel and reportedly haunted, the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter’s entertainment district is just a step outside our door. Not only are we surrounded by the city’s best bars, clubs and restaurants, we are minutes from the baseball stadium, waterfront and ferry to Coronado Beach.

Other nearly attractions include the famous San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, Midway Naval Museum and SeaWorld. Explore nearby neighborhoods and hiking trails or take tour of our myriad of microbreweries!

We're also a short drive or bus ride from other beaches. You can rent scooters and bikes at a nearby stand and get out and explore the city!
While the building may be Victorian, our amenities are all modern including:

- Privacy panels on all dorm beds that include a light, shelf and outlets to charge your electronics!
- Curtains on all lower bunk beds (and soon to be top beds as well)
- Community kitchen with lots of cookware
- Game room with foozball and tabletop shuffleboard
- Comfortable mattresses with fresh bedding, linen, pillows and towels
- Centrally controlled air conditioning/heat and ceiling fans in all rooms
- Lockers with outlets inside for secure charging of electronics in all dorms
- A variety of cereals and oatmeal, fruit salad, coffee, tea and hot chocolate daily
- Spa-feeling hallway bathrooms with hair dryers
- Fast wifi
- Filtered water dispenser
- Laundry
- Free luggage storage during stay
- Early check in and late check out (when available)

We don't believe in 'nickel and diming' you. - use of our towels and our beach towels and beach gear are always free.

We also have parking passes for rent. Reserve in advance to guarantee one is available.
We are on the upper floors of a historically designated building with two restaurants underneath. There is no elevator and it's 27 steps to our reception and another 24 to our top floor where most of the rooms are located.
