Wonderful rooftop pool with infinity border, where I had a lovely sunset view. The dinner buffet (and the breaksfast as well) were something to note and to enjoy. One of the supervisors was very kind in organizing our airport transfer to the next morning as well as in guiding for a taxi in which I has drove to visit the Colombo's tower

Every space - from the kitchen, to the bathrooms, to the bedrooms - is brand new and the design/furniture is so minimalist, which I have found eye-pleasing. Common areas well furnished and bathrooms always impeccable. Extremely comfortable bed. The location is close to supermarkets and nice cafes, and the area is very quiet. The staff is also wonderful. When they knew that at the airport my suitcase had been misplaced, they immediately tried to help me as much as possible. Caring people who take great care of their hostel and their guests! :) No better place to stay in Colombo!

What a wonderful find! A little piece of paradise tucked away in the corner of the older residential area of Colombo. Steeped in what makes Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka, warm hospitality and the laid back charm of inside outside spaces, surrounded by beautiful gardens and birdlife.

It is very clean and peaceful, although most of the time we were busy outside, we had no trouble dropping in for a short rest because the location was very convenient! We would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a welcoming place to stay and refresh.

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.
