“Nice”
This is a hostel in a wealthy area of Colombo, where you can choose air-conditioned beds. The hosts are very warm, and the price is quite reasonable. It's perfectly suitable as a temporary accommodation for traveling.

This hosta is the perfect choice for Colombo. Do not get mistaken by the apparent far location from Colombo Fort. It is well located: you can visit by foot the most incredible temples of the city, as well as the town hall and independence square. Colombo Fort is also reachable by foot (longer), but also by tuktuk (500lrk) and local bus (50lkr). The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and there's AC during all day and night. Showers and toilets are clean. Breakfast is good quantity, both British and local.

“What an experience 🤍🤍🤍”
It is in the central of the capital. And one of the best options for backpackers who needs a place to sleep comfortably for an affordable price. I was lucky to have a safe parking lot too. Better to introduce "lights-out policy” or “quiet hours” as this is a shared place and different people might have different agendas and it could affect the other's.

Such an amazing hostel! They make you feel completely like family and can’t do enough to help you. Rooms were spacious, had lockers and curtains!! I was lucky enough to stay over Sinhala new year and they included us in their celebrations!

“Amazing and locally run hostel by a lovely family!”
Amazing staff, especially the man that runs the property he’s so lovely and cares deeply for the guests. The night I arrived he arranged for a dinner to be cooked for us all and I thought that was such an amazing touch, it honestly was the nicest thing any hostel has ever done. It brought the group together and also is what hostels are supposed to be about but haven’t been like for a long time! The beds were really comfy too and there’s hot water and the place is really clean! I’d absolutely go back and look forward to staying again!

“Great place for a visit to the city”
The property is located close to the park and not too far from Galle Face Green if you don’t mind walking a bit. We booked the aircon room, which was great considering the heat in the city. (The fan room did feel a little hot, so we’re happy we went for the aircon one). The dorm room itself was comfortable and spacious.

Great experience staying here. Owner is kind and helpful. The dorm and showers were clean and comfortable. I stayed in the dorm with a fan and I slept very well despite the heat, the fan blasting on the bed. I met some cool people. I had breakfast there and it was really good. It's a nice neighborhood with good cafes nearby, a beautiful park and the National Museum. Other areas of interest are a quick and cheap tuktuk away. I'd stay here again.

“I stayed here for a few nights, and when I’m back in Colombo, I’ll definitely come back here!”
The hostel is in a great and safe location. The owner, his daughter, and the rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are typical of a hostel—simple but equipped with everything you need + hot water! P.S.: You can also order an English or Sri Lankan breakfast here for 850 rupees!
