Green Tortoise Hostel

還算不錯的

I used to love this place. I unfortunately had a female traveler who said she's going to make sure she keeps the riff out. So she thought I was riff raff and complained to the front desk manager about me. San Francisco is a very difficult city rn. You have to look a bit homeless because you don't want to get ripped off or have things stolen. Today, I got an email that I'm not a good fit for the hostel. I'm crying in a bathroom. Because I don't want to hear the European travelers hearing me cry. On a good note they allowed me to extend one day more than I should of. They are very nice people. But the you don't fit in here comment hurt my heart

If you love the experience of a European hostel with the comforts and convenience of an American lodging, this is the place to go. For starters, Space: the common room which I assume used to be a ballroom is very spacious and serves as dining as well.(btw, don’t miss the complimentary breakfast they offer in the morning.) the ample seating serves as a great a**osphere for meeting other people. While other people complain about how dated the decor is, I think it adds to the homeliness and novelty of it. Plenty of solo use bathrooms on each floor. And the beds are quite spacious. Location:it’s situated right next to Chinatown which is great for when you’re craving a quick Dimsum. It’s also a nice 15 minute walk to the piers. I would absolutely suggest using the trams to get to the west side of of San Francisco ie the bridge or presidio, but I’m a walker so it took me a good 1.5 hours which was a good workout. Staff: they were very friendly and informative as well as helpful so absolutely no complaints there. Security: I believe the doors stay locked after 1800 which require code or fob access. They make you wear a tag to identify you as a lodger which is added security. All in all a great experience, I would definitely come back here for my San Francisco trips.it’s by far one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in.

I really loved this hostel!! It’s set in a very exciting neighbourhood right next to north beach and Chinatown. I found it incredibly easy to connect with other travellers and I really liked my dorm room as well! The living room is very cool as well, with plenty of space, nice views, guitars, a piano and many sofas. The bathrooms were clean as well. I can highly recommend it and have already recommended it to friends. However, I took part in a dinner event hosted by the hostel and can’t recommend it… it‘s ofc great to get in touch with others but the Italian restaurant we went to was really bad. I could have easily cooked the pasta myself. Also, the woman who took us there (our guide from the hostel) seemed rude and unmotivated. The other night friends of mine went to an Indian restaurant and said the food ****** as well…

We stayed in the green tortoise for 3 nights for our first time in San Francisco and it was absolutely amazing. Super easy check in/out, friendly staff and excellent facilities. The best equipped hostel kitchen I’ve ever seen. Stayed in a mixed dorm as a female (my boyfriend was also staying in the room) but felt completely comfortable and safe. Good company from the other guests too and super comfy common room.

I had an incredible stay at the Green Tortoise Hostel in San Francisco, and I can't say enough positive things about the experience. The staff, especially Brad, went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Brad's warm and helpful demeanor truly stood out, and his gestures of hospitality made me feel like a valued guest. The a**osphere at the hostel was welcoming and friendly, and the facilities were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend the Green Tortoise Hostel for anyone visiting San Francisco, and I'm grateful to Brad and the entire staff for their exceptional service

The hostel is located in a central position close by a bit crowded street, especially during the night but I’ve always felt safe. Friendly staff and nice environment , good value for money. Absolutely recommended to have a room not located in the front of the building because it could be very noisy.

I like very much the bed and the room. I was in a 5 beds room. They are not bunk but wood which is very solid and nicer. The room was good. The power plugs can be better as it's just on the top of your head and it's not convenient at all. Bathroom can be better too. They are mixed and small. But at least it's clean. The location is very good. But it's san francisco so a lot of hills 😅

Very cozy hostel, friendly and respectful guests from all over the world. Accommodating and friendly hotel staff. They make sure you have all the comforts, free tea, coffee, food, great breakfast in the morning. Beds have a firm but sufficient mattress. I slept great! Will return and maybe take part in the social events this time, as they have many and cheap beers, too!
