Green Tortoise Hostel

Great hostel

outstanding common areas nice front desk staff even let me use hot tub at 2am briefly as I had a very late arrival. Quiet and clean

Possibly one of the best if not the best hostel I have stayed at. Definitely the hostel to stay at. when I visit San Francisco again, I'm definitely rebooking.

Great. Also has a really big common area that they host live music.

Amazing amazing amazing! Huge, gorgeous common area they call "ballroom" with a piano, guitar, and drum & pool table and foos ball table and so many couches & tables always available. High ceiling w/ disco ball & a video projection. This is where breakfast is served, live music occasionally, & its attached to the kitchen. Bathroom with neon glow hallway. Tiny room for phone call w/ walls lined w/ leaves. Bicycle storage room! A quiet room for desks for working. Events different each night.

Perfect, really close to perfect spots

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at, common areas are great for work and connection, having a massive kitchen ment many people could cook at once without getting in anyone’s way, rooms were great and curtains are amazing for extra privacy, I loved the seperate bathrooms and the staff were all super friendly! Vibes were cozy, comfy and welcoming 10/10 stay

Everything was great, facilities, people, staff, cleanliness. Thank you Tortoise hostel!

Eine wirklich herausragende Hostelerfahrung. Ich war schon in vielen Hostels und dieses gehört definitiv mit zu den besten. Top Lage, freundliche und hilfsbereite Angestellte, tolles Frühstück, ausreichend und saubere Bäder und alles bestens organisiert und durchdacht und das zu einem fairen Preis. Ich würde definitiv wiederkommen und kann einen Aufenthalt dort nur empfehlen.

they could do a lot better for what they charge. I booked one of their private rooms and the bathroom was really not in goo shape

Staff was very lovely, the vibes in the hostel were great, awesome experience overall!

Amazing hostel! As a solo female traveler, safety is my top priority. The hostel has secure doors and makes sure all the guests feel safe. It was also really clean and everyone was so friendly and helpful on recommending things to do. Would definitely stay again

Overall probably one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had

Staff was really nice and the rooms were really cozy. I also liked that the bathrooms are not en suite

I stayed few nights after visiting family in the greater Bay Area, I wanted to stay in the city to check out some live music and meet some new folks. I really liked the beds and bedding, very comfortable and private, and solid frames. I was never roused by my bunk mate moving around, as can happen with the metal frame beds at other hostels. The showers were newly renovated, very clean and smelled fine. The kitchen we good, dishwashing set up was very clear, and the ballroom was a great to hang

The staff were so welcoming and kind, the place was beautiful with so much charm, and it is in a great location!

I had a wonderful time!

What an amazing place. Return guest at GT and they always deliver. Rooms are clean, staff is friendly and always helpful. The ballroom is a great communal space to socialize or work on a laptop (they have an office share space too if more quiet is needed!). This time I used the nearby North Beach Garage with clearance for a VW bus! Very safe and secure. Also they have a full kitchen to cook full meal or store leftovers from the countless restaurants in China Town and Little Italy! Will be back!

Perfect location + friendly staff. Ty to the girl who switched our room from a double to a single. Didn’t catch your name but it was appreciated :)

The best hostel I've stayed in, hands down. I LOVED the whimsy and fun that the environment fostered and encouraged. Made some really cool friends and slept like a baby.
