Not only do you get to live in the center of the Gaslamp Quarter which is the heart of the restaurant, shopping and nightlife district, but you get to stay in a cozy and historical location that celebrates the best of San Diego. Our volunteers get to help shape the vibe and atmosphere and learn what it's like to run a hostel . Please note, we have a 'canine ambassador' - an 11lb pup who loves people and giving kisses so if you miss your buddy, you can get some love here.
The hostel partners are long time friends and co-workers with over 20 years of hostel management experience working for independent hostel chains who've decided to strike out on their own. We like to laugh, be relaxed and make sure our guests have a great time and our team feel respected, appreciated and heard. We love new ideas and meeting people from around the world.

The work is easy and exactly as discussed with the hosts. I can truly recommend this experience to anyone as i had a wonderful time at the Gaslamp Hostel.

This was my first time doing worldpackers and it was such a nice place to be! I immediately felt like family with the team and we all worked well together. The work was exactly as stated and wasn’t difficult at all. If you have worked in hospitality, you’ll do just fine.
The hostel itself has a lot of history and works of art everywhere. You’ll love waking up to plants everyday!

A beautiful place, in the middle of downtown, with great management and amazing volunteers where I've lived one of the most fun experiences ever. The work was easy, light and the hours agreed.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their English, meet people all around the world and live the American dream.
Thanks to Maria and Erin to make me feel at home, I'll be eternally grateful.

Gaslamp hostel was a truly great experience! I’m glad to have had the opportunity to leave in the heart of San Diego downtown.
Shifts and tasks are well-organized and clear, and managers are always available if you need any help.
I’d recommend to anyone seeking a volunteering experience in SD city :)
