Very lovely staff who were really helpful as I had to check in after midnight, there was no issue and I was welcomed with a smile :) Super cool interiors and modern rooms :) I also liked all the sustainability posters around the place :) Would have been great to stay longer for sure if I was in the area for more days

Had all we needed for a comfortable stay and people were absolutely amazing and friendly. The social host that was visiting every night was the highlight, he engaged everyone together, played games and made us feel all as one family.

Amazing staff. They are so nice people, both at the hostel and the restaurant. I think they deserve a much higher rate. I did not miss anything. Nice restrooms, wifi, staff, shower drains good with hot water and food from the restaurant. I will chose this if I go back to Colombo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff of the hostel was super friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I was in a dorm but I had the room for myself. It has AC and it is super clean. The rooms are big, comfy and renovated. Breakfast was also included, it's a super good deal for the price!

If you are a seasoned backpacker, you will appreciate this hostel. If not, you may find it basic. But the staff were incredible, so helpful and lovely. No hot water but you don’t really need it with the temperatures.

Maria is an excellent host and always ready to help. The hostel is located really near to the beach and has good rooms. The common area specially the roof top is really pretty. You can stay here if you want to meet new people and have some fun parties.
