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.

Friendly staff and visitors. One of the finer hostel experiences I’ve had in 2+ decades of travel. Would absolutely stay again.

For a hostel I thought Green Tortoise was really nice. The location was excellent and walking distance to many places. You need some agility to climb up to the top bunk and it takes some extra time to use the bathroom, shower, and locker for a suitcase, but it wasn't ever a problem. You can store food in the kitchen and cook for yourself if you have time. The staff was always friendly and helpful.
