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!
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.

Very unique and enjoyable experience, close to everything downtown. Definitely will visit again.
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 was just in for a night; my first ever experience at a hostel. I loved how convenient the location was to everywhere I needed to get to during this trip. Pike Place was right across the street, which made for easy exploring.
The staff were all wonderful, knowledgeable and answered the many questions I had with smiles.
It is an older building, the space is a little tight where the bunks are; none of which bothered me; I just needed a place to sleep and store my things while I attended my functions.
I loved that they have nightly community gatherings; I did not attend those, but I liked that it was an option.
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.
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.
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
