- Couples who want to mix romance and rock in the city
- Fans needing a chill space to decompress after high-energy shows

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up with a generous free breakfast featuring make-your-own eggs, oatmeal, cereal, and hot drinks—perfect after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests love the fully-equipped communal kitchen for late-night snacks or pre-show meals. You’re also surrounded by dozens of food options in Pike Place Market and nearby eateries, many open late.

Nightlife Options

The party doesn’t stop after the show—Green Tortoise hosts nightly social events that are ideal for mingling with fellow travelers. Plus, you’re walking distance from bars, lounges, and live music venues in Belltown and Capitol Hill. Want to keep it low-key?

Areas for Improvement

As a hostel, this isn’t a place for luxury seekers—shared dorms and bathrooms come with the territory. Light sleepers may want to pack earplugs, especially on weekends when downtown Seattle stays lively. But for the price and location, most agree it’s a great deal.

If you want to be steps from the stage without blowing your budget, Green Tortoise Hostel Seattle hits all the right notes for concert-goers.
