Green Tortoise Hostel

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

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

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

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

I had a wonderful time!

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

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.

Great staff, great people, great ambience i enjoyed my stay

Hostel was great. Got a private room. People at the hostel were friendly. Large communal area, but no energy. Lots of people sitting by themselves on their phones. Had a pool table but no chalk. Also only coffee cups and no ice. Fridges were pretty full.

Exceptional hostel experience in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. Within walking distance of several cafes and restaurants, including areas like Chinatown and Russian Hill. Excellent opportunities for meeting other travelers, whether in the common area or during activities hosted by staff. Comfortable rooms and plentiful restroom facilities. Honestly one of the better hostels I've stayed in across the board, including Europe. I met some wonderful people here.
