It was a brief 3 night stay and great experience. The staff at the front desk were warm, friendly and informative. It was my first stay in a hostel. The shared room was something I hadn't experienced since my Army days. My bed was very comfortable, the bathrooms clean and maybe luckily, minimal to no snoring in the night. And my roommates were most considerate of each others needs. Breakfast was delicious and I got to cook my own eggs just as I like them! The dining hall was lovely, stained glass and all around colorful.

I met people from all over the world, England, Romania and Estonia among them. And an American merchant marine looking for work. It was great to meet those I talked with and watch so many people getting acquainted.

The Green Tortoise in San Fran is highly recommended. Thanks for a fun couple of days!
