I traveled to Green Tortoise with 6 of my guy friends for 5 nights. We booked 1 room for all of us. Not your typical hostel stay so this review should be considered with that in mind. The room and hostel lounge were as expected after researching the place. We knew we were getting cramped sleeping quarters with the tradeoff of a good price, great location, and not to mention some free beer one night! Good beer might I add. Beds weren t super comfortable but did the job. Fans at each bunk were a nice touch although all didn t work great and having one window does not promote great airflow/ventilation. Maybe they could undercut the doors or add a louver to promote better ventilation? But we knew what we were paying for so not many complaints there.

Pretty great place honestly and staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I would have given it 4-5 stars but the last experience I had with the staff left me feeling otherwise and I cannot justify leaving a great review.

We had a dispute over a cleaning fee which did not sit well with me. When I called to ask about the supposed mess we made, they could not provide specific details. We ended up agreeing to disagree, they refunded me but now I am dissallowed to stay there. I would have been happy to pay the fee if more details of the mess were provided and/or if it was made abundently clear on the website, paperwork, or check in that we needed to leave the space spotless. Be aware of this if you are staying as a large group.
