the green tortoise is a very laid back hostel where they just redid the rooms and they are as nice and clean as the HI hostel now.
staff has a very friendly and laid back attitude and it's the kinda place where it's easy to get stuck a day or two extra simply because they are such a nice bunch.
the place has free internet included in the price, but be warned that the computers were quite slow when i was there.
still a great service though. Leave a Comment Theme: HostelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: right in the center of town.

I really enjoyed our stay at the Green Tortoise, I thought it was a really good hostel. To be honest, the dorms were a bit rundown and very basic, but the atmosphere more than made for that! I made loads of friends while I was staying there, and had a really fantastic time. The staff were very friendly and helpful if you have any questions, and the common room and balcony mean that there's always somewhere to hang out and meet fellow travellers. On top of this there are plenty of freebies, which always goes down well in a hostel - internet, dinner 3 times a week, breakfast, tea and coffee...
The hostel itself is pretty basic and listing the facilities available wouldn't take very long at all! The thing about this place is the atmosphere, the location (v. central and v. convenient!) and the staff. If you're looking to be staying in the height of luxury then don't come here, if you want to make friends then this is the place for you! Leave a Comment

I prefer this hostel over the other hostel in Seattle because of it's greater community sort of feel.
I greatly enjoyed the 6 person room I stayed in and the view from the window was definitely a plus.
The personal showers and washrooms give a greater sense of privacy compared to other hostels I've been too.
Although the common lounge could use a little sprucing up I did enjoy the large kitchen and the long balcony attached to the lounge.

Sarah and I stayed at the Seattle Green Tortoise Hostel for our first night in Seattle.
Our first warning sign about this hostel should have been that, when we showed up, they did not have my reservation listed, although I had reserved a room over the phone by credit card. But, a room was available, and we were able to stay.
We choose this hostel because it was close to the Pike Place Market and the downtown area. What the hostel website didn't mention, though, is that the building is right next door to the clean needle distribution center for the county. As a result, there are homeless, drug addict men asking for change outside the door to the hostel, and guys who've obviously just scrounged up enough change to get a room at the hostel for the night in the communal areas. Nice.
While I wanted to be able to meet other travelers and chat, the incredibly large number of older single men down on their luck -- probably addicts drawn by the social services nearby -- hosted by the hostel made me feel unsafe. I believe in being compassionate to others, but also good to yourself -- your own safety has to come first. We ended up mostly sticking to the safety of our private room that night.
When we returned to Seattle two days later, we stayed at the hostel again -- because we were low on funds. We stayed in the same room and saw that the sheets and blankets had not been washed or changed. Gross.
Free breakfast, paid internet access, communal kitchen, lockable one-person bathrooms. Leave a Comment
