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!

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

Very new hostels, beds are good and include curtains and airco. By far the owner is the best. He arranged everything for me; including Sri Lankan drivers license. Owner takes the extra mile; both in facilities; as service.

New stylish high-end hotel (open since April 2025) with many rooms and a 24/7 reception. The rooms are very comfy, well equipped and offer you much space. They are highly cleaned and make you feel very welcome. The centre of Colombo is a 15-20 minutes TukTuk away, so the location is nice, too. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even organized a late night taxi to the airport for us. I highly recommend this place.

The facility is located in a central location. All the employees, especially Anthony, were very friendly, warm and understanding. As my flight was late, they helped me wait and put my stuff. Coffee and pasta were very good. I sincerely recommend this safe and friendly hotel. It is also a very safe family environment for solo female travelers. Thanks for everything!!

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.

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.
