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!

Great time.
First time staying in a hostel. I am glad I did. It was great meeting people and having conversations in the dining area and lounge. Great location across from Pike Place Market.

The location was amazing with access to lots of shops, water, and entertainment. Although it's a dirty neighborhood with a lot of transients, it felt safe inside once the door closed behind me. The staff were helpful before and throughout my stay. I enjoyed meeting new people and the 'pub crawl.' The sleeping space is very tight, but I think it's fairly typical of hostels. I enjoyed my stay!

I did feel more needs to be done so that people dont hang out on fire escape. Much opening and closing of that door which made me feel a little insecure

It was so fun to be right across the street from Pike Place Market and a couple blocks from Seattle Art Museum. Staff was lovely and I felt very safe.

The staff really make this hostel special, they are accommodating and kind. The area is very close to the Pike Place Market, which can be a little intimidating at night, but I felt safe in the hostel. Would stay again.

The front desk was super nice and the hostel is in a great location, just some homeless people outside in the street.
