What a lovely place!🥺 The staff is very kind and helpful, and the room is clean, safe, and spacious. The maintenance is superb—we loved the large lobby area. The hospitality is outstanding, and I truly appreciated it. They are equally kind to both locals and foreigners. The best part is that I had a chance to support their prevention programs, as they use the hostel’s profits to fund these initiatives. That means a lot to me. I encourage everyone to book a reservation at this hostel and help support these meaningful programs. Thank you. 🙏

Everything! Perfect location, comfortable beds, quiet nights, AC working properly, stable wifi, huge lockers under the beds. Most importantly, the hospitality of Charu, the host and how knowledgeable he is, providing tips not only for Colombo, but many other routes in the country. He also keeps the place suuuper clean, which is a very big asset for me personally! You can also order breakfast, which is simple, but you have a variety of teas, jams and fruits. Great value for the money you pay. I look for no other place when I am back to the city and will undoubtedly recommend to others.

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.
