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

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.

I really enjoyed my stay at Green Tortoise. With the exception of one guy, the staff was helpful and friendly. Only two of the four bathrooms were in service on my floor. One of the working bathrooms had water pooled in the middle of the floor. They were not the cleanest facilities. The room was clean and the bunks had enough privacy in my all female dorm. The top bunk had a fan to keep you cool at night. I felt pretty safe there and enjoyed the proximity to the Pike Place Market and plenty to do within a walkable distance. This being my first hostel experience, I have nothing to compare it to. I would definitely stay here again!
