How do I get to the hostel?
By Plane​
The closest airport is the San Diego International Airport (SAN). To get to the hostel from the airport:
​
To get to Gaslamp Hostel, you can take a taxi, Uber, or Lyft usually for under $20.
For public transportation, hop on the 992 bus at the airport. Get off at the Broadway and 6th Street stop. Walk back one block to 5th Avenue, cross the street and turn left. Once you pass F Street keep looking to your right. We are the purple door just past the Asti restaurant at 726 5th Avenue. If you walk all the way to Whiskey Girl then you have passed us.
​
The current cost of the bus is $2.50. You must have exact fair or you can use a credit card or the Pronto App.
By Train​
To get to us from the train, please be sure to get off at the Santa Fe Depot (not Old Town).
​
When you exit the station turn right, go to the corner and turn left onto Broadway. Walk down Broadway until you get to 5th Avenue and turn right. We are two and half blocks down on the right at 726 5th Avenue. We are above the Panevino and Asti restaurants. Please see the photos of the location that were sent with your confirmation.
​
If you are at G Street then you've gone too far.
You can also take the 215 or 280 or 290 Bus from Broadway and Kettner and get off at 5th Avenue. Then follow the directions above. ​
By Car
Wherever you are driving from, your best bet is to use this newfound technology called Google Maps. We'll make it easy for you... click here for directions, and a new window will open. Enter your starting location to get directions. ​
​
If you decide to rent a car at the airport, please be aware that parking can be tough downtown and will cost you money. See below for parking info!
By Bus
Greyhound or FlixBus will drop you off at Old Town (2728 Congress St, San Diego, CA 92110). From there, take the Green Line Trolly from Old Towne to the Convention Center Station. Once you get off the Trolly, walk straight up Fifth Avenue. We are located between G Street and F Street on the left side of the street between the restaurants Panavino and Asti.
​
​
Where can I park?
Being in the heart of the Gaslamp is awesome becuase you can walk to restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, the Convention Center, Petco Park, and more; However, it can make parking a challenge. Like many of the businesses here, we do not have our own parking, but we still have some solutions for you! ​
How do I get around San Diego?
From the hostel, you can easily walk around the Gaslamp, Convention Center, Petco Park, Seaport Village, and other sites. But the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and beaches are just a bus or trolley ride away!
San Diego's Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) offers a low cost way to get around the city.
​
Adult fare: $2.50 each trip
Day pass: $6.00
