Reviews of Kasa Gaslamp Quarter San DiegoReviews of Kasa Gaslamp Quarter San Diego

vert nice place 👌

Everything fully equipped. Need more toilet paper

loved it

Overall, our stay was not a great experience. Flooring upon entry to the Kasa property was dirty and sticky. The elevator was dirty and smelled like trash/old food. (probably from the neighboring restaurants that utilize the elevator.) Upon entering the room, Everything seemed to be in order, freshly stocked, but I noticed the bed was incredibly low, which, if you enjoy your shins, good luck. The bed's headboard was also broken, and the nightstand shelves were angled, making it almost impossible to leave a basic water bottle on, as it could slide off. The bathroom/shower had black mold near the bottom joints near the shower pan itself, and near the wheels of the shower door.. which, for sure, I would consider a health concern. The shower bottle holders (for shampoo, conditioner, shower gel) also had excessive rust buildup, same goes for the towel holder near the shower. The kitchen area was nice and clean, but then, over time, there was an issue with cockroaches in the living room/kitchen area. It was a major issue, as knowing we would have liked to bring food back "home" during our stay... We (my girlfriend and I) couldn't. The couch in the living room area also had stains on the cushions... Which were definitely not sitting there... There were also issues with the front door, where it was not closing properly due to the strike plate being either completely off the wall, the codes not functioning (meaning asking neighboring businesses to open doors to allow access), or the door just opening, which was a major safety concern. (imagine just having an open door allowing ANYONE in....) The hallways/walls may be considered a little too thin, where if neighbors are being loud, or playing loud music, you will hear it through the door/wall, or coming from the hallway. Though I did not make the communications about the door situation at first (another guest did, but was stuck with them outside during), I did make communications about the situation with the cockroaches. Communications were clear and easy, but not effective. Reasonable accommodations could/should have been offered, as if I had stayed at a neighboring hotel down the street, which WAS done after our "last night" and as we had left early, other hotels accommodated, waived early check-in fees, and assisted us in making sure the rest of our San Diego stay was more comfortable.

Loved out

There are roaches, the door into the building is hardly ever closed all the way - I can't imagine that someone doesn't sleep in the hallway down there in the middle of the night - doesn't feel safe. And the hallway on the first floor is filthy. None of this feels safe for a solo traveler.

Great space and location for the value. Amenities in the room were very helpful. The neighborhood is a bit noisy but ear plugs were provided which was a nice touch.

Great location downtown

Fantastic stay at Kasa! The room was spotless and very modern. You really can’t beat the location—it’s smack in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter, so everything is walkable. It’s also surprisingly affordable for such a prime area. Highly recommend if you want to be where the action is!

Very nice stay was very comfortable

Great experience! First time using Kasa and loved the experience and the concept. Clean, basic, affordable and exactly what I wanted

Perfect stay in the heart of everything.

Some people complain about the bars/restaurants blaring music all night, but I honestly liked the vibe. The Cuban restaurant next door was such a chill spot. I walked everywhere I went and did not feel much need to venture outside the Gaslamp Quarter. If you are looking for peace and quiet don’t stay here. If you are looking to have fun and stay up late, then stay here. Very lively spot and I hope to visit again!

If you really need to stay in this area it’s fine. It was clean and a place to sleep. It is an older building with character and is above busy bars. The noise wasn’t an issue for us. Communication was great and the check-in and checkout process was easy. The location is a close drive to a lot of things and this particular area is centered around bars. However the photos are little deceiving. It needs some maintenance as the walls were unevenly painted, bathroom shelve wasn’t secured to wall, you have to physically get into the shower to turn it on getting yourself wet, no windows that open so you can’t get fresh air. The small studio has a stale unpleasant smell it is less noticeable if you run the a/c the whole time. Overall this place is clean and a decent place to stay just don’t expect much else.

This Airbnb was exactly like pictured. Walkable distance to all restaurants and clubs, it was an ideal location for our stay. It wasn’t noisy at all we could easily sleep. Would definitely recommend and be booking this Airbnb again it was perfect for our trip.

My girlfriend and I have stayed in these units on multiple occasions. The location is great with bars and restaurants at walking distance. Street parking can be tricky at times but we are always able to manage. We enjoy our stay each time and always look forward to booking again.

Location is good.

Place was quaint, but somewhat dirty. dealt with some cockroaches. Back room was not too loud, but still a little rowdy from the bars. Kinda get what you pay for sonce it is cheaper. Not terrible, not great.

Was perfect, had the little kitchen area that came in very handy. Also had plates, cups, utensils, and pans. Bathroom was a good size very modern look! Will definitely be booking again for our next stay!

We enjoyed our quick stay! Very walkable area and easy to find instructions

Check in stated 4 pm and then I got a text saying it would be delayed to 4:30- we arrived at 4:50 and the room was still being cleaned. Almost everything in the room was broken- shower handles, the couch-bed, AC, and more. the code to our room was the same as the one given to all customers for the front door so it felt unsafe, like anyone could come in. it was loud outside and sometimes really cold. I will say the location is great for being around a lot of things in walking distance. check out was easy

It was right in the middle of downtown, very comfortable accomodations

Wonderful small apartment with anything you might need! A bit noisy at night but everything else was perfect! 5 stars all around!

Very nice location, clean room, kind staff.

LARGE roach in hall greeted us upon check-in and the day after and after. Sulfur plumbing smell was putrid. 2 loud businesses between the establishment. Don’t go for a chill vibe. If you are here to party - it’s exactly what you need.

Location is great if you want to stay in the gaslamp district! A lot of things to do and great food! Just keep in mind if you bring a car there is no parking so make sure to reserve a spot or move your car. Also, it can get really loud on the weekends otherwise good place!

The hotel description was not the views of the real hotel. This hotel is on a busy street with no parking and old efficiency. The pictures on the site were pictures from six blocks away and it’s in a congested area. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone!!!

The place was super cute! Matched the description, I just wish it wasn’t above a night club which, admittedly, I could have researched myself but didn’t expect it to be open and so busy on a Sunday. The ear plugs and location of the room made it a non issue for sleep. The bed was comfy, I would stay again

Even though I had received the code to check in, it took over an hour for me to actually get in. It's situated between two restaurants and a little difficult to find. As mentioned in a few other reviews, it was a bit noisy being situated above a nightclub and their rooms did not feel as safe as I would have liked. Selt more like an old dorm to me. The good part is that it was walking distance from the convention center and fairly affordable compared to others in the area.

Exactly what we needed will be back

Very close to shops and restaurants and event space. Clean and as described

Great location, place was clean and good.

It is next to a bar with loud music. And the pimping lock doesnt open after bimping sound

Kasa was very well at responding, but overall the location needs to be updated in terms of access. the front door was broken and the room had pests that must be dealt with.

Amazing location right in the heart of Gaslamp. Clean room, felt private. Nice little kitchenette.

It was a wonderful place to stay at a lot of bars restaurants around. I would recommend it to anybody that wants to stay at in San Diego.

La casa tiene una excelente localización, en medio de bares, restaurantes y zonas transitadas. La comunicación fue muy buena y rápida. Faltó limpieza, habían pelos en el baño pegados en la pared de la ducha a mi llegada. El ascensor no funcionó durante toda mi estancia. Aún así, volvería a quedarme aquí.

The room was exactly like the photos. Updated recently to a comfortable modern design. My only concern was the property itself. It is based in an old building located in the gas lamp district. They were proactive to include ear plugs in the room because you are going to need them to sleep. My other concern is the elevator is non functional. This was relayed to me at check in. I was on the 4th floor with a very heavy suitcase for a 7 day cruise. Fortunately I was able to store it with another traveler because it would have been impossible for me to carry it up four flights of stairs. Outside of sending this information at check in time, their communication was excellent.

Easy to find right next to a good club

Was a nice quiet room at the back of the building. The street was noisy in the evening but that didnt reach us. I wasn't prepared for the level of "nightlife".

Clean room, air conditioning worked and security is great

Room was clean, AC worked well, it was quiet even though the street was noisy in the evenings.

Very clean and efficient. Very well-appointed kitchen. One could easily do so gourmet cooking in that kitchen. My only complaint is that my old arthritic knees would have liked the bed to be higher from the ground LOL! They had high end tea (Harney).

Whew....."Expect some ambient sounds and energy from these spots to be part of your experience." I should perhaps have paid a bit more attention to that statement from their description, however I would still say that is a vast understatement. The listing is literally right above the busiest bars in the Gas Lamp District. Like, directly above....Crazy noisy until the bars closed, then it was quiet - for about 2 hours until the trash trucks showed up to begin cleaning the streets from the partiers. Wow...Loud, loud, loud. Other than that, it was great! LOL.....
