I had a great stay here, the experience was lovely mingling up with a lot of other travellers and sharing the same space with them. Facilities are good. Best value for money. The caretaker Chamindu is a wonderful guy, always helpful and he would go beyong his way to help his guests. Nothing to complain about.

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.
