My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at the Green Tortoise Hostel in Seattle. We came over from Canada to attend a Deftones concert and visit Seattle. It was clean, staff was very friendly and we felt very safe. Bathrooms were well maintained, and there was breakfast included also. I highly recommend staying at the Green Tortoise Hostel if your in town, plus it’s just steps across from the famous Market at Pike Place, and very close to the ferry as well!

I was just in for a night; my first ever experience at a hostel. I loved how convenient the location was to everywhere I needed to get to during this trip. Pike Place was right across the street, which made for easy exploring. The staff were all wonderful, knowledgeable and answered the many questions I had with smiles. It is an older building, the space is a little tight where the bunks are; none of which bothered me; I just needed a place to sleep and store my things while I attended my functions. I loved that they have nightly community gatherings; I did not attend those, but I liked that it was an option.

Everything you'd expect from the services as advertised, clean, and the free breakfast was nice. My mattress had a hole in it which made sleeping on it in certain positions a little uncomfortable, though.

Excellent Stay. Cheaper reservation on their site.

Had an amazing view of the Pike Place Market. The staff was friendly. The communal space was always clean and relaxed atmosphere. My only suggestion is it would have been nice to rent or buy a washcloth from the front counter. Showers have no such device for cleaning oneself.

clean hostel but uncomfortable

this is a good, clean hostel with friendly staff but not very comfortable. the rooms are extremely cramped & the beds are a bit hard. if you get stuck in the bunks closest to the door you’ll get woken up by the hall light everytime someone comes in or out despite the curtains :\ i stayed in the coed dorm and was disappointed that i was the only female in the room. so if you want to make some girlfriends maybe stick to the all female dorms

Stayed here for a solo trip for my birthday, originally planned to stay just 3 days but ended up extending my stay twice and stayed for a week! Very clean and great value, the staff is amazing and very helpful and kind. The bathrooms are private, kitchen is large with many appliances, the hostel has themed nights such as free wine, beer, ice cream, dinner etc. and a bar crawl, perfect for getting to know others who are also in the same boat as you and travelling solo. Also very close to pike place market, target store just below for grocery runs, and transportation stops range from 3-10 mins walk away. Very accommodating, I stayed in both the female dorms and the co ed dorms and have a great experience with all of them! 10/10 I would stay again!
