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!

Kudos to the Green Tortoise
This was an amazing place to stay! The communal concept was clearly well thought out and executed in the best fashion. The dudes at the front desk were knowledgeable, helpful, and easygoing. Honestly, probably one of the best hotel/travel experiences I’ve had in a while. Not sure when I’ll be returning to Seattle, but I will most definitely be staying at The Green Tortoise when I do. Kudos to All!

As soon as I walked in, Front guy was handing a drink to a guest, spilled it and swore (not sure if towards the guest or the spilt drink). He was throwing guest's card back to them instead of gently putting it down. Swearing at minor inconveniences. Other hosts were talking when a guy came up and asked for a drink. He could've easily delegated the task to the other hosts but instead he swore and got the drink to the guest. The guy probably had a long day but it's kind of hard to feel welcome when that's the kind of attitude that "welcomes" you as soon as you walk in. Other than that, the hostel is very clean and is very close to everything that you will need while visiting.
