Just the right place for me. Quiet and calm. Worth the price. Short distance to restaurants, nightlife, beach and shopping etc. Good location, easy to find. Tasty Sri Lankan breakfast. The cocktail Curly Special puts the finishing touch for my stay.

the location is perfect! very close to everything you need. Close to the airport, atm, grocery store. The location is perfect after/ or before catching a flight but also to relax and enjoy holiday since it is also very close to a beautiful secret river, definitely worth to see!!! Everything was completely clean and comfortable. The Wi-Fi in the room was working amazing. I am a solo-female-traveler and I felt very safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially with my further travels and the transit to the airport.

This place is absolutely perfect. I started and finished sri lanka in this hostel, which was amazing. It's just in front of the beach. Rooms have ac, which is marvelous, and are clean, and so is the bathroom. They offer free water and there's a fridge you can store your things. The host is really a nice and gentle man. They accept cash and card for payment. And also, it's just 15 min walking from the train station, which takes u to colombo fort, and 10 min walking from the avenue you can take the bus to colombo or some other cities as well. The avenue where this hostel is located has maaaany restaurant options, both cheap and expensive ones, and also souvenir and grocery shops, besides atm, so you have everything you need close to you. If I ever come back to sri lanka, for sure I'm going to this hostel again for some days.

The room is clean with a view of the lagoon plus shared balcony. The staff are very helpful from giving directions to our tuktuk driver to giving us places to visit/dine and booking a taxi ride to the airport. The location is close to the airport and has nearby restaurants and shops within walking distance.

It close to the beach area. Which itself wasn't a good experience. Its very touristy and the prices on the street is above the roof. Its got a very dirty beach and not a very good vibe.

The owner woke up to check me in at 3.30 am. He was such sweet soul, very nice and friendly and helpful and doing his best to meet his clients half way. Also enjoyed talking to him, the property is beautifully maintained, they have a rooftop where I could do my yoga practice, it is a true haven indeed.

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.
