This was a wonderful place for our family to lay their heads in San Fransisco. Being a family with minors, we got a private room. The building was beautiful and interesting, and they had nutritious breakfasts with lots of options. Being a hostel was a plus, as we interacted with many people from different parts of the world.The location couldn't have been better- on telegraph hill we walked everywhere- down to the pier, up to Coit Tower, and around many trendy, interesting neighborhood in between. I highly recommend the Green Tortoise for families with children.
