“Great value for money.”
Nice big house converted into hostel. Aircon was great. Beds were really comfortable. The bathroom was nice and big and clean. The staff were really friendly. Could use the kitchen to cook up a good feed. Pretty easy to get too using buses or tuk tuk from the centre of Colombo.

“good sleep”
The room was very clean, bathroom was very clean too. The room has air-conditioning and fan on the ceiling. The bed was comfortable. Also there is a kitchen downstairs. Ask the staff for directions how to find the place.

Culture Hub Back what is important about is there is a kitchen and you can get together with other travelers meanwhile cooking. Also there is a common area where you can socialise and talk. Good location, very friendly owner who speaks good English.

“comfortable and has a fantastic old time charm. #feelslikehome.”
The bed was extremely comfortable and the place was spacious and clean, with the vintage aesthetics it did feel homely. Having free wifi with the calm environment, helped me to shoot few emails too. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Colombo.
