The location was exceptional, with quick access to Pike Place Market. The staff showed genuine hospitality, guiding guests efficiently and even lending out umbrellas when needed. Breakfast featured a delightful variety, making mornings easier to manage for business travelers. The beds included curtains for added privacy, which is a rarity in most hostels.

Bathrooms often lacked cleanliness and needed more ventilation.

The Green Tortoise Hostel Seattle offered a lovely vibrant atmosphere with friendly staff who genuinely cared. I appreciated the location right across from Pike Place Market, making it easy to navigate the area, especially for seniors like me.

Bathrooms could use better ventilation and cleanliness.

Perfect for the budget traveler

I mean, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the gadgets. I even whipped up my own eggs, just couldn’t resist! Plus, the staff were super friendly, like they genuinely wanted to help out and make you feel at home. Free wine nights? Can't beat that!

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but you get what you pay for and it was still pretty good.

Seattle's food scene is killer! I gobbled up fresh crab at The Crab Pot, and I can't stop dreaming about the crepes from Crepe de France. Not to mention the hostel's 24/7 coffee and free breakfast that kickstarts your day like a boss. The location is prime, right by Pike Place Market!

The mattress was tough as nails and my pillow flat as a pancake. No worries, though! I still caught some Zs, but next time I might just bring a mattress pad. Tight spaces were expected, being a hostel and all, but they could up their game in comfort.

The location is unbeatable, a stone's throw from Pike Place Market, perfect for strolling through Seattle's vibe. There's a basic breakfast option available, which is a nice perk for travelers looking to save on meals.

The carpets throughout the hostel are in desperate need of replacement—stained and reeking like something had a party on them. The rooms tend to have a lingering smell, making it hard to settle in without cringing every time you walk in. Additionally, the cleanliness of the bathrooms could use some serious attention, especially during busy hours when they tend to get quite messy. If you're sensitive to noise, keep in mind that the outside sounds can permeate the space, so earplugs are a smart move for a peaceful sleep.

my previous stay somewhere else in seattle didn't compare. this place had awesome staff who genuinely cared. the location was perfect, just a quick walk to pike place market, and the atmosphere was super welcoming.

no shampoo in the showers.

Would recommend for a brief pause

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, excellent location, the free breakfast was delicious and the shared kitchen was a great bonus for meal prep. It’s just a short 2 km walk to the Seattle Center Monorail for easy access to the city.

The bunk beds featured privacy curtains, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff organized free taco nights, and breakfast each morning was satisfying. Although it’s located in a bustling area, there were moments of noise from the streets outside. The common areas were inviting, perfect for meeting other guests and joining activities like jam sessions. Be prepared for some visible signs of urban life, as this downtown setting has its share of character.

The top bunk was hard to climb into, yet the beds had privacy curtains.

Great for Budget Travelers!

Had a fun stay with friendly travelers. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, just mind your leftovers! Proximity to Pike Place Market is unbeatable. If you’re sensitive to noise, consider earplugs. the street can get lively. Overall, a fantastic base to explore Seattle!

It was just a reliable pick for a brief weekend stay in Seattle with decent value for money. Each bed had a fan, a lamp, and outlets for charging, which was super convenient. If you're sensitive to noise, bring earplugs because the mornings can be a bit loud.

Great location near Pike Place Market, but the room had an unpleasant smell.
