Green Tortoise Hostel Seattle Reviews

Perfect location in Downtown Seattle! Nice living environment and overall experience!

Good location. Near train station going to airport.

Good place for solo/budget travel. Every other hotel is over triple the price, I really appreciate this hostel for being affordable. I like that there was a large storage place under the bed. Plenty of room for each traveler. Bathrooms are not very clean though. The fixtures also seem old and run down. I understand that a lot of people come through, so that suggests that cleanings should happen more often. I can accept this though given that this is the most affordable place to stay in Seattle.

great experience

A cost-effective youth hostel, the staff are very friendly, the location is good, the city center is close to Pike Wharf

My very first time staying a night in a hostel and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind to me. When asking about general niceties and whatnot they were incredibly responsive and gave me a simple rundown of do's and don'ts. The hostel is in a very nice spot in the city surrounded by businesses and made it very easy to get back to late at night after a concert. The shower's have very nice pressure behind them and the toilets work well. As for bed's they were on the slightly harder side, however, I dont mind and almost prefer that surface instead. The Hostel offers nightly activities to get a community engaged, and althought it was a bar crawl and I could not participate it seems hypothetically very fun. As long with the other activities they have planned for the future. The common space is very open and I believe fosters conversation although I did not partake in any during my stay. The complimentary breakfast helps give an easy start to the day and is entirely appreciated as well with the supplied eggs which once again, I did not partake. I cannot recommend this hostel any more for nightly stay at a fantastic price in an incredibly expensive city.

Everyone was so friendly, this was definitely a great experience for my first time in Seattle!

I slept in the dormitory, 8 bunk beds. Not a lot of room for personal stuff, but a large locked space under the beds. The mattress was comfortable. Mostly it was very quiet, but the last night I stayed, a Wed night must have been garbage day on Thursday, a lot of noise outside at 5:30 in the morning. But there were always bathrooms available and hot water and the atmosphere was safe and friendly.

Needs to be updated urgently. The smell in the rooms is disgusting. The staff is nice and the location convenient.

Close to Pike's Place market. The Hostel seemed safe, but right outside the front door, just be careful. Seattle's homeless and drug problem isn't hidden here. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and they had a lot of activities and amenities. With the cheap price, I would highly recommend, but only for savvy travelers.

Community feeling is great, staff are willing to help with whatever you need! Parking is a little difficult and expensive around it, so be aware of that. The biggest struggle is the amount of stairs with no elevator. Was difficult to navigate as someone who uses a cane and rolator, would be impossible for anyone wheelchair bound/unable to walk up stairs to visit. But staff was willing to help me carry up my rolator up the stairs

Fun and unique stay with very attentive staff. Can't beat the area in walkability and the atmosphere with fellow guests in the common rooms is very warm and a form of cozy nightlife in itself. Comfortable beds and high focus on safety. Very much recommend!

It was near downtown, clean in general the bed was not comfortable Bathrooms clean. Noisy 1rst avenue Activities and tours free for guests during evenings. Some homeless people in the surroundings. Respectfully Roommates

Pretty cool place to stay. You have to share a room with others, but the way bunk beds are set up, pretty good privacy. Very happening area just in walking distance. I wish the AC system was a bit better. But overall great stay.
