The place was very clean, decent. The reviews I've read said it is noisy. That is very true. Not only is it noisy, it rumbles, and you could feel it. You are in the middle of late music tell 2am.

We had a wonderful stay at Kasa and would absolutely stay here again. The room was exactly as described in the listing—clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Everything was ready when we arrived, and the space looked just like the photos, which is always appreciated.

Communication was outstanding from start to finish. Every question we had was answered quickly, and the instructions for check-in, check-out, and everything in between were clear and easy to follow. It made the entire experience stress-free.

One thing that really impressed us was how quiet the room was. Even though it’s right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, where 5th Street can be very lively and noisy on the weekends, we were pleasantly surprised by how little of that we heard inside the room. We slept great every night.

If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place in an excellent location with responsive hosts and an easy, hassle-free experience, I highly recommend Kasa. It was exactly what we were hoping for, and we’d happily book here again on our next trip to San Diego.

This was by far the worst hotel experience we’ve had. Our room was located directly above the bar, and the noise was unbearable. Loud music and people were shouting until 2 a.m., making it impossible to sleep. After that, the staff started moving trash bins and making noise outside, which continued until the morning.
I brought my husband here for his birthday, hoping for a special and relaxing trip, but it completely ruined our stay. We did not get a single minute of sleep all night.
I would never stay here again and would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and restful experience.
It looks much better in the photos than it does in reality. Upon arrival, it became clear that some of the furniture had noticeable damage, several interior elements were in need of repair, and the room had not been cleaned thoroughly: there was dust on surfaces and visible dirt in certain areas. In addition, the overall condition of the room gave the impression that it had not been properly maintained for quite some time. Due to the discrepancy between the advertised photos and the actual condition of the room, as well as the issues mentioned above, the stay was less comfortable than expected.

It was in a happening spot for sure. Memorial Day weekend. If you’re looking for a peaceful serenity type stay on a busy weekend it’s not for you. If you’re looking to be in a high energy fun local apartment feel with everything you need, besides parking: just be prepared to pay a little for parking. Metered street parking. I did end up with a ticket. There was some drugged out individuals who hang out in front of the hotel, just disturbing to see anyone in a zombie state in public like that. Kills the vaca vibe a little bit. The walls are thin but they supply a white noise sound machine and ear plugs to help with that. It’s perfect for college people or young people who want to party. A few years ago I would have been completely excited about it. I just realized I’ve officially grown out of that stage and it’s not for me anymore. I will say that it grew on me by the last of our three day stay. We felt like locals walking past the busy bars, shops and restaurants after picking up some pickleball games at the waterfront park (driving distance but close/courts also at the Hyatt and you don’t need to be a guest to use them as of now) to the door and elevator and peering out onto the street over the bar at all of the action below. The kitchen was well stocked, the sharps/cond. & towels were high quality. It was spacious and comfortable.

The unit had a damp musky odor. The was a box of damp rid on the shelf in the bedroom, my shoes stuck to the floor in the bedroom and kitchen area. I cleaned the floor with paper towels. It was obvious that the floor had not been moped in a long time as it was filthy! The a/c was programmed to keep the unit freezing to keep the odor down. I would not stay here again.

If you are traveling by yourself, and you just want a place to sleep in and convinient, this place will work for you. It is close to where I am supposed to go for that time, couple blocks away from petco park and train station, and it is right in the middle of Gaslamp district, which is a party scene. Literally, in between two bars. The downside of it all, it gets loud at night (though they are nice enough to provide ear plugs). When you go inside the building, it stinks and floor is dirty. The room size is decent, for a 1 person. The rug that they have looks dirty. It has all that you need in the kitchen. i think the biggest safety issue I have is the lock. It uses an electronic keypad, but be careful because it doesnt automatically locks on the outside. you have to turn the inside lock correctly, so it locks on the outside. Double, triple, quadruple check. It does have the bar lock on top, but considering it is in the middle of a bar scene,be extra careful.

The charm of the space and the Gaslamp Quarter in general was a deviation from the norm.
If you’re looking for a typical hotel stay with a common area and some amenities, this ain’t it.
If you’re looking for a decent place to sleep that serves the purpose, is right smack in the middle of the restaurants, bars, etc…this is it.

Cons-
- a bit hard to find. Hint-it is directly above the Cuban food place, beside the El Chingon Mexican place (great fajitas btw). Entry door is directly between the two.
-There is not enough hot water capacity to last other than a “soap up and rinse”.
-bed was comfy but uncomfortable somehow at the same time? IDK. It slept reasonably well enough but I did wake up a bit sore both mornings.
-Paid parking situation was a bit of a pita. “Park it on Market” is your best bet. Easy to get to, overnight parking, ran about $20/day.

Other than that, nothing to note as far as sub-par.
It was convenient. It was enough. We had a great time.

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)

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

Unusual in not a good way.
This is an older building that’s been turned into hotel rooms.
Somewhat sketchy street, homeless person sleeping in tent by front door.
Building and room smelled musty.
Room had shabby mismatched furniture, damaged artwork, torn check out room door tag. Only one hard chair to sit on. Very low platform bed with sharp edges, not good for older person to get in and out of.
No light by entrance door or closet. Bulb missing from overhead light so hard to see into closet and needed my flashlight. Outlets not in convenient place for devices and no USB/USC options, so needed plugs instead
Couldn’t get TV to work or turn TV screen off, had to unplug. When called for help got what sounded like overseas customer service who just took message. 14 hours later someone responded and there was no one who could come and check it out/fix it over the 3 days I was there. So you’re on your own for any problems and it will take a while to even hear back about them.
Management finally texted back and forth, asked me to buy new batteries for remote and offered me a gift card for that. I declined. Then offered me 10% of future stay but I won’t be staying there ever again.
In the end, not a bargain.

The property is in a great location and the sky lights in the suite were lovely, but the suite did not seem to have been cleaned before we arrived. There were crumbs on the counters and table (as well as a broken acrylic nail), the floor was dirty, and the second comforter had large makeup stains on one corner. There was also trash (from the restaurant) by the elevator on the main floor every nights, which wasn't ideal. Laundry machines also had a good amount of grime/hair, so despite them being available, I would not recommend using them.

The room and location of the stay was great. But our first couple of minutes in the room my wife and I saw some roaches walking the walls and floors. Great room flip though. It was just a bummer since it was on Valentine's and we couldn’t sleep well for the “one” night that we paid over $400 for (considering that was the cheaper one of several surrounding hotels). I hope Kasa can get rid of the roach infestation quickly, because if they did not have this situation I would stay there again in a heart beat. Great location to the near by club and a great amount of restaurants. Just a true let down.

I never leave reviews but felt it was important to leave one here. The TV was not working when I got there. The staff came and entered my room when I was not there to install a new tv the next day. Upon returning to my room, my daughter’s prescription meds were missing and never found. In addition, when I first got to the room there were no sheets for the pull out couch and the comforter in the closet had stains all over it. There is no front desk and everything is done through a chat agent (likely AI chat). They told me where the laundry room was and gave me the code and asked me to go down and look for sheets.

The nose wasn't all issue, and we were directly above the Havana room. What was an issue, was customer service. We were locked out of the building on day 4, and my pleas for help were answered by AI, it took 4 hours to resolve the issue. When I reached out to them to discuss it, before leaving the review, again, AI and no resolution. The elevator is shared with the kitchen of the restaurant below and is full of gross,wet sticky juice all of the time. The hall was pulled in uncollected Amazon packages and the smell of mildew was almost sickening, the pictures of the common areas looked nothing like the hotel . The unit itself was fine, tho there was no tv in the bedroom and only about 10 inches between the foot of the bed and the wall, so beware if you use any kind of mobility device

I stayed at Kasa Gaslamp Quarter for two days and honestly, it was one of the best lodging experiences I’ve had in San Diego. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Gaslamp, walkable to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and the downtown waterfront. I really felt like I was living in the city instead of just visiting.

The unit itself was clean, modern, and comfortable. Loved having the full kitchen and cozy layout, it made settling in so easy. Check-in was smooth, communication was clear, and everything felt very secure.

If you want the independence of an apartment with the convenience of being steps from all the action, Kasa is the move. I’d absolutely stay here again.

I travel for work and stay in hotels/air b&bs 1-2 weeks/month. This would have been fine for a vacation where I didn’t have to sleep and be functional but for anything else it was miserable. I didn’t realize at booking that there is a shared wall with a really fun bar/restaurant I frequent. The windows are old you could hear people talking outside. They provided earplugs but that wasn’t helpful when you could feel the bass that rattled the room. I asked to switch rooms or hotels and they offered another location wanting me to pay triple. It wasn’t as clean or aesthetically pleasing, but at least I got better sleep at motel 6 in Little Italy. I wouldn’t recommend this place for anyone that has to be functional the next day.

Great location in Gaslamp!

Stay here if you want to explore Gaslamp Quarter restaurants and bars and/or attend a game at Petco Park. Great amenities and spacious rooms. It’s in between 2 restaurants so may be a bit noisy (depending on your room location). Hallways and elevators were a bit smelly and dirty. However the room was clean and price was very reasonable.

Read your fine print and understand your surroundi

The place was easy to find, and nestled between two bars. The elevator going up to room smelled awful and was very nauseating like raw sewage each and everytime we used it. The room was cozy, but super tight fit. You are in the Gaslamp district where the nightlife is thriving, so they provide a sound machine and ear plugs to help drown out the sounds. The mini fridge leaked and reported it and was told someone would come to check on that, no one did. And then we had a little problem at the start of our stay being threatened to cancel it due to noise disturbance/complaints, even though 1. We were out of the room when these complaints were made 2. We are literally surrounded by bars which are notoriously loud. Turns out there is a noise detector in the rooms (read your fine print) and what it was picking up on was there was a fire alarm that went off in one of the bars. The customer service on that was very nonchalant and basic about it and for them a simple apology was suffice even though they threatened to cancel our stay and fine me per contract. I was super pissed and irritated by the whole experience that had me stressed out for the remainder of my stay. I was speaking as low as I could because of not wanting to set off the alarm. Just a terrible experience altogether. I will never go back there again, if not for the terrible experience but the nauseating smell of the elevator alone.

Upon arrival I couldn’t get access into the building because the door wasn’t working. After 4 calls and 2 maintenance guys, they just decided to keep the building door unlocked the next day. It was so inconvenient because we had to use the side door of a restaurant to get in and the employees were super annoyed we had to do so. The elevator has a really bad smell. The room wasn’t 100% clean. Overall I was not satisfied with my experience here. Parking was also inconvenient, which I expected l, because in gaslamp you usually have to find a lot nearby to park in. A lot of the lots were full or didn’t do over night. We found one nearby that we had to just keep paying for every 10 hours. Expect it to be noisy all night because you are above some bars. Silver lining about this place is that it’s really close to everything. Walking distance to petco stadium for the padres game and close to the convention center as well.

Good things:
1. Close to convention center
2. Suite was pleasant
3 Help from staff- Marlon and John were very nice to us and helpful and honestly the saving grace of this place.

Bad things:
1. Too loud downstairs
2. For an exorbitant price, it was a less than decent experience walking in, dirty dingy walkway, dirty elevator, sticky floors.
3. Ac was blasting in bedroom but rest of the suite was too warm
4. Ac would shut down on its own in the middle of the night
5. One night the fire alarm went off, we were away but there was no message or text of any sort from management.
We had to be out of the room until 11 pm.
6. It took a hours for whoever was on text to respond. We had to call the 1800 number to get help.

In short, over priced, no lobby or reception , very loud but staff were nice.

We had an amazing time on our honeymoon staying at Kasa Gaslamp! We highly recommend to anyone visiting downtown San Diego.
Transit to places like LaJolla, the beaches, Balboa Park and the Zoo were very accessible.
Our room was extremely quiet (weekdays and weeknights). Our room had a full kitchen and the bed was so comfortable!
The communication was great and check-in codes/instructions were so simple.
Such a great experience from Kasa! We will be back!

This apt hotel is bare bones in virtual management.The location is very noisy at night as it rests on top of a night club. The rooms are small & clean even if the building common area are dated and in need of updating.

I liked being a close walk to the convention center. They left a coupon for the restaurant downstairs. It's in a 1887 building so things are a little quirky to fit. I had a little suite with a bedroom that the door closed and a little separate room with couch and TV. The kitchenette was well stocked with settings for at least 5, pots pans, pasta strainer. Mini fridge, electric 2 burner, microwave, toaster, hot water pot, and coffee maker. Also a mini first aid kit and a fire extinguisher.

There is a white noise machine and ear plugs, but I was in a back room and did not need them. There is background noise from the street at night.... But I was in the heart of gaslamp. So much to do just steps away. Hop skip and jump to ballpark also.

Such a great hotel. Even being over a bar the noise wasn't noticable. Nice to be able to just walk to nearly anything from the hotel. $13 overnight parking within a few blocks

Overall, the room is as nice. While there was a table, it only had one chair so we could not both sit to eat together. One person had to sit on the bed. The elevator was very run down and was out of order the day we left. We were on the 4th floor with large suitcases so the elevator being out of order was an issue. There was poor signage for the stairs so we went down an extra flight before realizing we needed to stop at the second floor and then take another set of stairs down the hall to get out of the hotel. The location was great which made up for the things it lacked.

Perfect location!

The stay was great! I was able to walk to the Gaslamp venue with ease. There was NO issue with noise as well.

The stay was perfectly quiet. Tucked away in the very busy sociable streets in San Diego. Very big space clean. Felt like I was home. Loved it.

This is an OLD Hotel, which I loved as it was so historic. Completely remodeled inside though. Amazing location in the historic Gas Lamp District. So many great places to eat all around the hotel. I was here on business & it was WAY less expensive than the big-name hotels. I will be staying here again with my wife when I come back for my nephew's graduation from USMC Boot Camp in September.

I did not get to stay there and could not cancel the stay in my Expedia account or directly with Kasa, nor was I able to get a refund. Without a cancellation, I couldn't show proper documentation for the travel insurance, which I had purchased through Expedia. So I was charged for a trip that I didn't get to take. This whole experience was terrible. Due to Expedia's difficult and unhelpful policies and systems, I will not be using them again.

Petco visit

This place has as excellent location! Some noise at night but we tolerated it is it was well documented. It could use some touch ups-bathroom door frame &walls, bathroom floor, the bedding was very wrinkled and comforter had “balls” wadding of inner stuffing. Also, the bed is extremely low to the ground!! The elevator was horrible! We used once! And hallway-well the door was off slider to “electrical.” I attempted to communicate about check out duties and I kept getting message to “take trash out but not necessary!” We left earlier than expected and wanted to do everything the night before; I finally called the 3rd party and they informed me plus then I got more info night before. The “no front desk” is odd.
Would I stay here again? Probably due to location as we were there for baseball games.

I would it stay here!

Horrible. I ended up NOT STAYING, the building is run down. The building has a dense musty smell,I could not breathe it! The elevator looks as though it will fall apart. There is NO parking especially if there is a game nearby. I had 4 rooms reserved and had to find another place for all of us, because I would not ask my staff to stay there!
