A basic hostel
A very basic hostel. It is tucked away at the corner of a small back alley, and the taxi driver had much difficulty to locate the place.

Best place to stay in Colombo
This is hands down the best accommodation I had in Sri Lanka. (Along with Kandy City Hostel) The people are extremely nice, your close to all the amenities and it instantly feels like home. I met some wonderful people and it was positive vibes all the time.

Comfortable hostel
Only stayed here as a transit between my flight and Kandy. Was a little difficult to find in the taxi. The room was comfortable enough, bathrooms were clean and the breakfast was really good. Unfortunately didn't get to explore the neighbourhood but it definitely suited me for the one night.

A good place to stay in Colombo
Stayed there for 2 nights. The location is okay. It takes 10-15 mins tuk tuk ride to go to the Fort Railway Station. Very close to Galle Road and the seafront, where you can have a relaxing walk near, or even on the train tracks just beside the Indian Ocean. No A/C. But I did not feel hot when i was there in March 2018. Quite Clean. Nice Host.

Warm welcome to Sri Lanka
We stayed for two nights in an AC dorm and loved this place. When we arrived very early in the morning they offered us beds to sleep in even though we had not booked early arrival. The bathroom and kitchen were clean at all times and the roof terrace is the perfect place to escape the heat of the city. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our arrival to Sri Lanka so pleasant!

心地よい対応
ドライバー用にいつも使わせてもらっています。以前同様女性専用ルームの記載がなかったですが、あらかじめ確認のメールを入れると、男性専用ルームへの変更に対応してくれました。ドライバーも非常に気に入っており、いつも使っています。次も使う予定です。

女性専用？
ドライバーが泊まるのに予約しましたが、予約しているのは女性専用の部屋だと言われたようです。予約画面にはそのことは何も記載がありませんでした。
