“Very funky
hostel with awesome free brekky (very filling) and free dinner 3 nights
a week and organised stuff on at nights too. the staff were very
helpful as well. the rooms are excellent with quite a bit of space and
under bed lockers, but you need to bring a lock. good linen provided as
well.

time at the Green Tortoise. The staff were most helpful and the
organised activities were fab. Please pass on my thanks to the staff
(although i think they have just as much fun as the paying guests) :)
