The Green Tortoise Hostel

The Green Tortoise Hostel boasts an excellent location right by First Avenue and Pike Street, meaning that it’s across the street from the historic Pike Place Market, which has been running for over 100 years. The hostel is set within a former hotel building and offers modern rooms. In the dormitories, the bunk beds come with their own reading lamp, privacy curtain, storage locker, and electric power socket.
