The room is clean, all the sheets are replaced after every guest. Staff are also helpful. The breakfast is the only fly in the ointment, which is just oat and milk.Maybe just add some bread will be better.

Prime location, Amazing colors & design, they work nonstop keeping it extremely clean. The bunks are comfortable and kitchen's well equipped. They offer cereal, oatmeal & orange slices for breakfast, they could probably use a bigger coffee maker tho. There's a great overall vibe with helpful volunteers and Ericka the manager does an outstanding job!

First time in a hostel and incredible! Felt very safe and welcome by staff. Clean comfy bed, storage for luggage, even fun games and common areas right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter.. If you're a light sleeper, it is surrounded by all the bars and pubs and noise, but if you came to have a good time and night life, this is for you!
