to get started.

The hotel is located very near to Fort station. It's located in a happening area surrounded by pubs. We were welcomed with a drink which was refreshing. We booked a 4 room dorm. It was clean. The facility is well maintained. Washrooms were clean. WiFi was also good. They also serve complementary breakfast which was super awesome. If you're here don't miss the breakfast. Had a great time at this place.

Staff member randomly opened our door in the morning to ask if we were going to have breakfast. Didn't even knock. Asked manager the next morning for renting a multi day taxi and he quoted us a price that was 50% higher than the quote we got from the airport.
Staff was nice. The facilities were adequate. Got the job done for the price.

Nothing so far.
The staff were helpful in purchasing reserved train tickets for futher travel from Colombo. Not everyone has that service. The location is more or less 1 kilometer from Colombo Fort station. They offer free hearty breakfast which i think is a big plus for their rates. My colombo stay was memorable thanks to you guys.

The rooms and the carpets are very dusty. it triggered my allergies. Despite not being entitled to a refund, I transferred to another place.
Close proximity to the Colombo fort station. A few steps away from Ministry of Crab and other restaurants. Some of the staffs were very kind but no one updated me about getting another room that is less dusty.
