“Comfy beds with strong AC”
The beds in the dorm were really comfy, with a privacy curtain, a little ledge, a light and a socket. They were also concrete so no movement if you bunk mate moved! The AC was also very good.

This was the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The room has the best A/C what was amazing after a long day in the sun. The beds were so comfy and bed had everything you needed: curtain, charging port, reading light and space to put your stuff on. In the middle of the room there is loads of storage so it was always clean. The bathrooms were so clean and hot water such a great asset. The room was cleaned daily what you could notice when you came back in the evening. Room is very quiet even its a 12 bed dorm. Its not a party hostel, so you could have the best nights sleep. The staff were amazing, I had so many laughs with them. They work so hard and coffee is amazing at the downstairs cafe.

one dorm within a co working space/ cafe. therefore you only have 10 people staying at a time. there’s no real common area so you have to be a little bit more open and lucky to connect to people (if you want that). everything is super new and really well maintained / cleaned

There’s less space for chilling, and I think there are some kind of animals in the roof, you hear noises from there. The shower we’re okay but very basic.

Chill hostel! The hostel is just one dorm room. Super comfortable! But no real chill area. Though I met some nice people during my stay there. Location is great and staff is nice.

They have one dorm and it’s clean, comfortable, proper AC. They also have a small shop with clothes and other stuff + the most amazing outside cafe. The breakfast and coffee here is amazing. I ended up going back for breakfast altho the dorm was fully booked. The staff is also so friendly and nice. This was definitely one of my favourite places I stayed in in not only Sri Lanka but also during my entire SEA trip. It’s a short walk to the local bus and Hiriketya beach. 🤍

The beds are comfy, they keep the rooms and bathroom daily clean and that there are 8 beds is just a very nice size of poeple to meet :-) the food (OMG) - everything I tried was just so yummi and incredibly delicious!🤤How they build up this place, with all their heart and soul, creating value in a sustainable and responsable way, sharing and caring around them - it's inspiring and beautiful❤️ thanks for everything and looking forward to the next time!😍❤️
