Very nice hostel overall but they could definitely benefit from some type of curtains on the beds since you get absolutely no privacy and the rooms are mixed men and women. The bathroom is not nearly big enough and has no shelves or hooks to bring your stuff there to change clothes etc

Súper location close to Colombo Fort train Station. I arrive at 1 am and the staff was waiting for me. The building seemed to be new and the entrance and inside decor is so nice that I was not sure if I was in the right pleca. The room has 4 bed, very comfortable mattress and cool A.C. So far I am very impressed. I don’t know the name of the man in charge of the night shift, but he was very attentive and gave a tour of the place and answer all my questions about the location. 7 stars 👌👌👏👏😊

Really great hostel! More like a hotel with dorms, very modern and in a really nice location. Got friendly with the all the staff, they are super super friendly and will help guide and assist you with whatever it is that you wish to do, couldn’t recommend the place more. Very nice to meet other guests from all over the world also! They have water you can purchase water there or if you have your own bottle there is free filtered water. It was clean also, showers, toilets all good 😊

Excellent. Friendly, helpful, professional staff. Clean. Modern decor. Air conditioning throughout. Large police presence at the moment on street due to proximity of the presidents home, but protests are extremely peaceful (despite the media reporting otherwise - do not trust that!). This is probably the safest time to ever visit Colombo! I highly recommend staying here.

+ The hotel lies very central in Colombo Fort. AC works fine and a good sleep is guaranteed. Breakfast is being served on the terrace with yummy fruits and an omelette station. - Room was not perfectly clean as the old showering stuff from the previous guests were still in the shower.

Wimbledon was on when I stayed there, and the owner was gracious enough to ensure that I could see it on TV in the lobby. I mention this becsuse the tournament wasn't aired on any of the regular channels, however the owner went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate me. Thank you!

The staff is very friendly and they helped us with everything we needed since our arrival. The room was a bit smaller than expected from the pictures but all the amenities were present and our stay was pleasant.
