Really enjoyed having single occupancy bathrooms plus a sink in the room as well. Everything felt super clean, the beds were comfy, the locker under the bed is spacious. The common area is huge, perfect for working or hanging out with other travelers. Loved the location, you can walk to a lot of sights and restaurants/bars.

I stayed there alone, but I could get good friends and roommates. Staffs are kind, and the appearance of the room and building are so cute.

Besides the location and the cleanliness I have to say my most favorite part about Green Tortoise Hostel was the staff - they were extremely friendly while also being professional at all times. I liked that you can’t bring random people in that are not guests, that made me feel quite safe. They hostel programs they have are also amazing. Traveling to Sfo solo can be overwhelming especially for a woman the activities are designed so well that you get to cover so much more than you planned - you’re always with a group of other residents, you get to check out cool places and make friends.

The location in North Beach. Loved the wonderful cityscape view of skyline the Transamerica building...Free breakfast and coffee- what's not to love?:) Clean, private, well stocked bathrooms on every floor. Washers and dryers if you need them. Sauna! Large common area with lots of seating arrangements. One

Great location next to North Beach with tons happening. Can easily take the bus across the city from here. Had the sickest view from my bed in the the 5-bed female dorm! There was even a sink in my room which was helpful. The front door & guest door system is through an app. Breakfast was plentiful and you can make your own eggs. Staff was super helpful, even helping me find a place to take a call since I was there working remotely. Wifi was pretty good. Ballroom was great to relaxing, meeting people, planning your days. There are events on every night & if I wasn't meeting friends I would have joined them! Lots of bathrooms to choose from & they are all pretty clean. A charming place, I'd stay here again.
