Boasting a shared lounge, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 2 km from Kollupitiya Beach, less than 1 km from The Independence Square and a 14-minute walk from Sinhalese Sports Club. Private parking is available on site. My first time staying at the hostel, overall satisfying experience. Being a solo female traveller I prefer to have a safe place and easygoing host. I stayed for 2 nights Only but it felt like i was part of the family from a long time. Thanks to Mr. Heeran and souji for everything. Especially for hot weather go for AC room for a comfortable stay. Enternce corridor has a small sitting area where you can exchange your experience with other travellers.🙂
