The Green Tortoise Hostel has been a favorite of backpackers and
travellers for decades. From our unbeatable location in
historic North Beach (a quick walk to tourist favorites like Chinatown
and Fisherman's Wharf), to our cozy dorm rooms, to our relaxing private
rooms with free movies, to our free meals and pub crawls, to our famous
Adventure Travel bus tours...those are just a few of the reasons the
Tortoise has become a legend.
Planning a trip? Check out the Tortoise's
calendar of upcoming events in San Francisco and at the hostel! And remember, you can make your trip even more Tortoise-ful by combining a trip to San Francisco with one of the Green Tortoise bus tours, or a trip up the coast to the Seattle Green Tortoise Hostel.
To make a reservation, visit our website, www.greentortoisehostel.com, or call us, 415-834-1000 or 800-TORTOIS, or Skype us, gtsanfrancisco. The weather is beautiful...wish you were here!
We'd like a stay with us to be a memorable highlight of your trip.

Hey! I have been hearing stories about your buses in Portland. A lot of people had "first trip"s on your buses. Are you going to vamp one out of Portland any time? Miss you guys more than words!

Thank you for the drink. Thank you for the bed. Thank you for the food. Thank you for the conversation. Thank you for the smoke. Thank you for the clothes. Thank you for the shower. Thank you for the sanctuary. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the coffee. Thank you for the music. Thank you for the bagels. Thank you for the numerous nights we spent together in the ballroom, hanging out, playing pool, brain fucked on alcohol and cigarettes. Just to wake up in the coolest city in the world with the coolest people you could ever imagine.
Thank you for being my friends. I miss you so much.
Well here I am, my bedroom needs tidying, I have extreme amounts of stuff to get packed, and I am supposed to be getting ready to go to work-but instead what am I doing? Sitting on a GT site of one sort or another leaving messages...again... Oh well! I'll be there in 26 days, and I can't wait! San Francisco here I come! Hugs Gem x
