The dorms had a decent amount of space. Decent stocked kitchen and fridge space. The lounge area had plenty of seating near outlets. Breakfast which included eggs to cook was good.
Clean Room, Staff was very kind and helpful. All guests I came across were also friendly. The location was perfect. Just across the road from the market. As a solo traveler I couldn't have asked for more.
Staff was friendly and there for me when I needed them the most. Staff very friendly when it came to checking my luggage even after I checked out for a small nominal fee. Green Turtle Hostel you guys are the best
Super friendly, helpful and fun.
First time staying in a hostel and I will definitely stay in another based on my experience here.
Taylor was especially helpful.
Thanks again!

Friendly staff and visitors. One of the finer hostel experiences I’ve had in 2+ decades of travel. Would absolutely stay again.
Great location. Staff very nice and helpful. Kitchen well stocked. Clean bathrooms. Great breakfast included. There are also free specials every night (ice cream, wine, beer, spagetti, tacos).
Location is the best, smacked right in Downtown and just 2 min walk away from the Pike Place Market. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Truly one of the best hostels I’ve been!

The rooms were clean, and with privacy curtains for each bed - very nice touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they had lots of activities going. The location was central to everything I was doing in Seattle, I will be back when coming to Seattle.
This is my first time at a hostel, and it definitely has its pluses and minuses. The pluses is that the staff members are extremely helpful and nice. There is free breakfast. It is right by Pike Market Place and lots of accessible public transportation. However, I would try to avoid going around the area late at night since it felt very unsafe. I think that it was fairly clean (depending on which bathroom you use -- it is communal style bathroom so be prepared for that). It is very you get what you pay for.
Appreciated the fair price, quality customer service, and overall cleanliness of my stay. The bed was very comfortable too.
I would definitely stay there again!
