I loved every single moment in this hostel. After coming from India I neededba cool place close to the beach with amazing chill vibes. Wanted only to stay one day, ended up several nights! The vibe, the people and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Rooms were neat, clean and very comfortable. Special thanks to Maria, Dinusha and Roma! Amazing staff people that made my stay waaaaay better, sharing their food and beautiful friendship with me! Always with an amazing smile ❤️ thank you so much! I'm coming back with no doubt very soon

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this newly opened hostel in Colombo, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the owners and staff going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels comfortable and welcomed. The facilities are modern and spotlessly clean, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. Its central location makes it easy to access local attractions, markets, and eateries. If you’re planning a trip to Colombo, I highly recommend this place for its exceptional hospitality and cozy ambiance.

The vibe was very good. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with anything. The food was also delicious. The quality-price ratio was worth it. The location is quite close to where you need to change your license to drive on your own in Sri Lanka and you also have car rental locations quite close.

Perfect location, amazing staff and facilities. Stayed when I first arrived to Sri Lanka and on my last night in the country. They kept a large luggage safe for me while I travelled around the country with a light backpack. Thank you

The room and attached bathroom were clean, hot water and ac both working well, very quiet, nobody disturbing. The room itself was quite good for me - office chair and desk, a cloth rack, 2 beds. Very clean and fresh bedsheets and towel. There was an iron, small kitchen, common area, roof top available. Plain, affordable by price, functional. Very nice reception and uncle guard.

I basically love everything about this place! Very nice neighborhood (quite yet easy to connect to downtown), sparkling clean facilities, host willing to accommodate every need you may have… and comes up with ideas - my stay here was perfect! Additionally, a great bonus is that after booking they provided detailed information consisting of how to get around, what is the price structure etc and a lot other, extremely useful advices. Thanks to that it’s easy for you to avoid being scammed. The atmosphere of hostel feels like home, truly! That is the place to be in 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.
