I really enjoyed my stay at Green Tortoise. With the exception of one guy, the staff was helpful and friendly. Only two of the four bathrooms were in service on my floor. One of the working bathrooms had water pooled in the middle of the floor. They were not the cleanest facilities. The room was clean and the bunks had enough privacy in my all female dorm. The top bunk had a fan to keep you cool at night. I felt pretty safe there and enjoyed the proximity to the Pike Place Market and plenty to do within a walkable distance. This being my first hostel experience, I have nothing to compare it to. I would definitely stay here again!

Everyone was super nice at the front desk. Location is unbeatable, you are at walking distance from most attractions. They give you fresh clean towels everyday for $1. The bathrooms are mostly clean, but since it was always too busy, it's imposible to have extra clean bathrooms all the time. The bedrooms are small for 8 persons, so it was difficult to get stuff from my carry-on everytime. Was even worse when 2 or 3 people were doing it at the same time. All that I can live with, but the mattres was way too fluffy, I could feel the wooden boards across my spine and lower back, which gave me back pain since day 2 in Seattle :(

Great time.
First time staying in a hostel. I am glad I did. It was great meeting people and having conversations in the dining area and lounge. Great location across from Pike Place Market.

The location was amazing with access to lots of shops, water, and entertainment. Although it's a dirty neighborhood with a lot of transients, it felt safe inside once the door closed behind me. The staff were helpful before and throughout my stay. I enjoyed meeting new people and the 'pub crawl.' The sleeping space is very tight, but I think it's fairly typical of hostels. I enjoyed my stay!

I did feel more needs to be done so that people dont hang out on fire escape. Much opening and closing of that door which made me feel a little insecure

It was so fun to be right across the street from Pike Place Market and a couple blocks from Seattle Art Museum. Staff was lovely and I felt very safe.

The staff really make this hostel special, they are accommodating and kind. The area is very close to the Pike Place Market, which can be a little intimidating at night, but I felt safe in the hostel. Would stay again.

We’re gross. They start off clean.
I was only disappointed by the frequency and schedule for cleaning. I was impressed upon arrival. As the crowd started getting there, it became nasty quickly. Otherwise, reminds me of a Church style cleaning gig. Very tidy and clean but very old wooden styles.
