Came to town to attend a concert, and this location was amazing. It was also nice to partake in the tours that are offered through the hostel. What a great way to travel… although, I haven’t stayed at a hostel in almost 10 years, it was a great way to meet other travellers .

Really liked the breakfast area and the proximity to everything. I could get to the market, aquarium, museum, and space needle within 20 min of walking and the train and bus stops were close by for everything else. Everyone was very helpful with directions as well.

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 lived with 7 other roommates and they were all polite and quiet at night. The hostel has free breakfast. The kitchen is communal and there’s always free food for people. Every night, the hostel will host different events like beer nights, karaoke nights, dinners and so on… this was my first time living in a hostel and I will definitely keep trying different hostels because of the nice experience I had here!

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.
