Some hostels are not treat well local customers but yaar hostels not like that treat equally locals and foreigners are same. And also I have booked for 2 days but only stayed 1 day but they don't charge the cancellation fees I really appreciate. Thanks

A nice hostel in a nice city. The host was accomodating, the beds were nice and the location was very good. Close to food, market, busstation, train station and in walking distance to the turist sites. Very good Sri Lankan breakfast and free water refill.
