Wonderful
Loved the setup, location was great - Cargills was less than 100m away, and folks at the hostel were super helpful. They also have fun game nights and the crowd is chill too.
The only issue others and I faced was that there was no fan in the dorm, and the AC was aimed at two specific beds. So while they would get super cold, rest of us felt hot. Adding just a fan would fix it.

We had a wonderful stay here! The room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and extremely comfortable—perfect for a relaxing break, especially the balcony, which was such a lovely spot to unwind. Everything was very well maintained, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel completely at home. A special mention to Binu, who stayed in touch with us and ensured everything was taken care of smoothly throughout our stay.
Although we stayed only for one day, it was truly a lovely and refreshing experience. We genuinely wished we had more time to stay longer, but it was our last day in Colombo. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay here again! ?

Very friendly nice vibes, all amenities
The dorm had outside toilets/ shower attached via a door at the back, but shoes were already left outside the main entrance. Going to the toilet or shower each time was not great on the feet with the stones and dirt.

Everything about this place was amazing. The staff were lovely, it’s clean, the WiFi is solid, and having food and coffee right at the hostel just makes life easier. I’ll definitely be back, especially after meeting so many good souls <3

My stay was perfect, the internet (WiFi) was amazing, especially for work. The staff were great and helped with everything. There is also a kitchen where you can cook sometimes, but I didn’t need it, because I was ordering from them. Thank you so much, I will come back

Location near good restaurants, one Thai restaurant really good not far from it.
It was not very well cleaned and maintained. Kitchen is never properly cleaned and the fridge has many rotten food. Microwave very dirty making it impossible to use.
Room had a very strong odor of old stuff not cleaned.

Great place to stay. I stayed in the girls dorm and really liked how the bathrooms were separate but still through the dorm so girls only. Nice staff and clean facilities
Everything was great :)

Just a good vibe with plenty of room to meet people. It’s not very centrally located to the touristy parts of Colombo but it’s in a beautifully quiet neighborhood and very serene.

The staff was extremely kind, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, and everything was clean. There was a good atmosphere. It's a good place to arrive in Sri Lanka, would recommend it.
It's kinda far away from the center, I would choose another area.
