Let me say it like this: If you don't like this hostel, then hostels aren't for you. The Greentortoise Hostel in Seattle is the best thought through hostel I have ever been in. Their breakfast is outstanding good, the staff is topfit and they know how to manage the details, like electricity on bed, little privacy in the bunk bed rooms and locker under bed with enough size. The only thing it was always lacking is aircondition. They now have fixed even that. Trust me, go here and if you don't love it, stay away from hostels.
