The breakfast was great! And the rooms were much much nicer than expected - very clean. And despite the location being so close to the centre of Colombo we were not disturbed by any noise during the night. Also a few great pubs and restaurants just around the corner.

Great value for money! Very hospitable and helpful staff, great location, a lot of restaurants around, including Famous Ministry of Crab. Amazing breakfast for the hostel with a lot of options. Only 10 min walk to Fort railway station. Good wi-if.

Room had no window.
The boys at reception were amazing. Welcome drinks and cold towel to greet us as we checked in. Is this a hostel or luxe hotel?! Breakfast was brilliant. Totally brilliant. Tasty tasty food and a big buffet selection. We extended our stay because it was such a great place to stay. Fab location. Bathrooms were great, soap on dispenere was very nice.

I was in the top bunk, and the climb was high and risky, with almost nothing to hold on to for balance, and the railing in the top bunk was risky too as it covered less than one third of the bed.
A really top notch property in most respects and the service was very good as well.
