Very well located. The breakfast is decent for a hostel and the dining room is beautiful. I had the window bed, which was ok for me because I'm short but it may not be suit for everyone. In any case, great place and I got to wake up with the view to the Golden Gate bridge. They have a good deposit for leaving your stuff before check in or after check out.
Nothing to complain

This is probably the best hostel I have stayed in ! The common room is amazing, the breakfast nice, and the people (staff and those staying) were a good time.The sauna and the various events they put on in the evening were fun bonuses as well.

The staff was fantastic, and the facilities were better than expected. The rooms were comfortable for bunk beds and well kept up. The accommodations and extra events that the hotel offers made the experience even more fun. I would highly recommend it and I can't wait to go back.
The bathrooms tend to be more on the wet side.

I stayed at the green tortoise hotel for one night. This is a great hostel located rights at the border of the vibrant Main Street in Chinatown. The bedroom and facilities were clean. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The price of the night in a dorm is exceptional for what you get. Private bathroom the private bathroom are very clean. The hostel was fairly quiet and the provide earbuds for the night. The common area was really cool, when I came it was a quiet night, but a lot of people were still hanging out in there. I also was so surprised, but the Indian restaurant in front of the hostel gave food so we had free dinner! The kitchen was well furnished, and they have a good system to keep it clean. Free breakfast in the morning was amazing, bagels, oatmeal, yogurt, jam, butter, juices, coffee, and fruit. I highly recommend for a group or solo travelers. I had a very good stay and I highly recommend.

We loved the room (private room in the separate building) as our view was great and the room was great for what we needed. It was also easy to access the building and to find it! The staff were also great at helping us with recommendations for food and activities.
We would have appreciated knowing earlier that our room was in a separate building to the main hostel, as we were excited to be in the ballroom and mingle with other people easily. Although our room was great, we didn't end up attending any of the events or attending the breakfast in the main building as it was just easier for us to go out and about for the day instead of going from our building over to the hostel, and then out again.

Standard Room with Shared Bathroom
This private, bright colored room provides free wifi, reading lights and free film rentals. shared bathrooms are available in the hallway.
please note: some of our queen private rooms are located in our annex building on bartol street, just 1.5 blocks from the main green tortoise hostel. while it's a short walk, the annex offers a quieter, more laid-back experience—perfect if you're looking to escape the late-night noise from the nightclub near our main building. the annex has its own kitchen, cheaper laundry facilities, and a more private, airbnb-style feel. you'll still have 24/7 access to everything at the main building, including our front desk, lounge, and communal events. plus, on the third floor of the annex building, there is a patio that has an incredible view of the bay and the bay bridge!
