The host was very hospitable. The place was squeaky clean. It was my first time being at a hostel, and I did not bring a padlock with me. The owner was kind enough to lend me one. The breakfast was exceptional as well. They served us authentic Sri Lankan string hoppers along with a couple sides like coconut sambol (I think), daal curry, chickpeas and eggs. I recommend the place.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
