Situated in Mirissa, 600 metres from Mirissa Beach, The Hostel features accommodation with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant. Among the facilities at this property are room service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The staf is really friendly and helpful. They will help you with anything. The place is really clean as well. They have filtered water, free of charge. Most hostels I’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka didn’t offer any filtered water. The location is ideal, it’s only a 3 minute walk to the busstop and the main road with all the shops and restaurants. The beach is not even a 10 minute walk. There is also a kitchen and fridge which guests can make use of. I planned to stay here a few days, but ended up staying for two weeks.
