Great location, so convenient with a lot of embassy buildings, restaurants, and transportation options nearby. The staff is great friendly and very prompt. They even offered to help me print out some documents. The hostel beds are comfy, equipped with power sockets and a reading light, and clean and comfy beddings too. Plenty of bathrooms, spotless and with good pressure. The place is super spacious too, with a nice garden and parking space.

A very safe place at a great quiet location. Easy to get around by bus. Staff was extremely helpful and ready to help with anything I needed. Although I stayed at a dorm, when I needed a private space to work for few hours, they arranged it with no hassle. Free laundry was a big plus! Common areas were quite clean.

Very good hostel. The morning srilankan receptionist Girl is very polite and kind and the housekeeping staff boys are very respectful and the chef's are cool. You get all food and drinks here you don't have to go out. They have a cosy pool but I didn't use it. You can definitely enjoy staying here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The room and the space exceeded my expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Staff where very friendly and helpful. For a budget stay Inn, it really was an amazing experience and the room certainly was not of budget standard at all. I loved the hippy and modern décor, made it feel very chilled compared to bustle happening outside. A very calm space was created.
