Very close to the beach and the train station, good distance to busy Colombo, but still central enough. Very friendly stuff. Good place to start your trip if you dont want to stay in Colombo

“Chill!”
Great locations. Morning walks on the beach - yes please! Love the evening family dinner, never had that experience in a hostel before and after a long day it was very much appreciated. Lovely rooftop space to also crack open the laptop and do a little work!

The owner of the hostel is really friendly and helpful! He gave us a lot of tips for our journey and told us a lot of stories. And what I really liked was the free family dinner every evening to connect with the other travelers by having a great meal!
