This is a fantastic hostel, it has everything! The staff are soooo helpful, they have organised tours, free breakfast and free dinners! You save so much money... Really clean as well, and a great place to meet new people. Highly recommend...

I came to San Francisco all by myself, kind of afraid I would have to do everything alone. As soon as I entered The Green Tortoise, however, I wasn't alone anymore. It's just a great place to meet nice people from all over the world.

The staff were always on hand to help with restaurant and bar suggestions. The bar area was great and the daily breakfast was useful. The atmosphere was very chilled and the hostel had a very bohemian look to it which I liked. It had a real San Francisco feel to it.

This place is the best hostel I've stayed in during my trip. The rooms are well equipped (personal reading lamps, plenty of power points, huge lockers that easily fit a bulky backpack, etc) and the place has an abundance of character, is friendly and comfortable, and the free dinners on Mon, Wed & Friday are a definite bonus.

Good location. Could not recommend it though, our room was far from clean, and I just kept waiting for the bedbugs to come out...

Customer review

Facilities such as sauna, free diner and activities. I had a private, 2-person room. Luckily I was alone, because the bed was very small (I guess 120 cm). Room was also extremely small. Very noisy (airconditioning). Everything is old and outdated (including bathrooms). Wifi signal too weak in the room. Many people are doing nothing more than uploading photo's and stories on facebook (computers provided) -- so not much room for a social talk. Mice spotted in the common room.
