Sadly it's been two years since I've been to the green tortoise and I wish I could have gone back a lot sooner but plans keep falling thru.. when I went there 2 years ago I was by myself it was the first time I'd stayed in a hostel and I was super excited and super nervous the people at the desk really friendly they let me put my backpack in a common storage area up front with a tag so I can go walk around town for a little bit and when I came back and got checked in they actually took me up to the room and explained some of the basic rules about trying to be respectful of others who might be sleeping at night and in the morning and helped me get acquainted with the lockers under the bunk beds etcetera. The first night was interesting because by the time I came back to bed everyone was asleep but thankfully I was prepared and crawled up my bunk in the dark and went swiftly to bed. The next morning I went down to check out the breakfast selection and it was so cool how they had it set up you could fry or scramble your own egg and they had toast and other things of course and when you're done you put your plate in a dishwasher rack. I met a really cool person from California while cooking and eating breakfast. At the time I was living in Virginia and planning on moving out here to the Washington Oregon area. Now that I do live out here I plan to go back again. The best part is the first thing you see on your left when you walk out the door is Pike's Market. The only thing I would suggest is that everyone who checks in should be given a small memo card that says "do not turn the lights on at 4 in the morning while you are getting ready to go to the airport, please take your stuff into the bathroom and use that mirror to put your makeup on instead". Lol let's just say there were two girls that didn't understand hostel eddiquet.
