Nice clean and modern place in a very peaceful environment, far from the noise of the city, but also pretty close (aboit 15min on foot). The owner is very kind and helpful. There is a nice garden and a kitchen with drinking water and a kettle (tea and coffee available). Good wifi and spacious lockers.

It is such a cool and quirky little spot. The room was decorated nicely and the shower was amazing. The breakfast was delicious especially the fruit bowl! It’s the first place on my Sri Lankan trip that has given me mango! This has been our nicest accommodation so far.

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 value you get in this property is the best so far I've had for a hostel/dorm. It came with free breakfast and dinner! It had hot water, AC and free towels. Although the facility itself is not "vibey", it is clean and comfortable located in a safe and pretty accessible from the main area/city center. You also do get to meet other people as dinner and breakfast are served along with other guests.

Very clean & nice accommodation in a good location close to the railway station :) As a female solo-traveller I felt super safe. The hostel has a cute rooftop & the bathroom is amazing. The owners are super nice & friendly, help where they can & even took care of my staff whilst I was travelling the country. Definitely recommend it!
