The location is great if you want to be near Fort railway station. It is within walking distance to the beach as well. The service at check-in and check-out was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and quick. We had to check-out in the morning before breakfast was served, and the desk clerk had even arranged for box breakfasts to be ready for us. We have a 3 year old, so not having to worry about finding food that early in the morning was quite helpful. The only minor issue was that the bathroom looked a little past its prime. The shelf in the shower was rusty and it looked like the toilet had been repaired without properly cleaning up the adhesive.

I stayed CityRest Fort only 6 hours to take a shower and short nap for catching a mid-night flight. I booked a bed in Shared 4 Beds Dormitory. I checked in at the front desk and went into the room... I noticed there was nobody in the room! The man at the front desk was nothing to tell me but he arranged a sort of private room for me! I was able to relax and rest very well. Thank you so, so much for your angement. I'll definitely come back to CityRest Fort when I come to Colombo next time.

great location, close to bus or train station, walking distance or take a tuk tuk for 150, no more. staff is great and very helpful. lots of staff, even on every floor. not sure what people complain about the breakfast for?? probably one of the best breakfasts I'd had in any hostel, anywheres. wifi is very good, beds are comfy, AC works well, and towel included. It said locks were available for the locker but I had my own, so I'm not sure if you had to rent it or not. Only had hot water 2 out of 4 times, yet people had hot water the same day, so I guess it was luck of the draw. No windows in the rooms, which I prefer because it stops the traffic noise, and light from coming in. One guy was smoking in the room when I checked in so I'm not sure if this is allowed, or he was sneaking it

Nice small hotel, excellent taxi-service to airport, well priced.

Airco was broke, so we moved rooms, but then there the airco also broke down. In addition there was a girl in our room that seemed to live there. It was all a bit weird. But location is good, and the staff is really nice.

The room smelt musty. It was good that there was lockers in the room. A weird stain was on the wall next to the air con. Only one female shower. And not super clean. It's fine I you only need to spend one night. The driver collected us from the airport which was a gread and even stopped at the train station for us. The check in was great and we were well greeted.

I stayed for only 5 hours as I arrived late and got a morning train to catch. Everything was clean - shower, room, bed, etc. Staff was superb and helpful! Unfortunately only cereal was provided for breakfast before 7am. The best choice near the train station!

This hotel is cheap.. so everything is below average basicly. The bed is not very confortable, the shower is dirty, the towel they give you is old and cheap. The bathroom are also dirty. Go there for 1 night but I cancelled my others nights.

I stayed only one night in the dorm. Room was very comfortable. A/C & WIGI were very strong. Reception staff was very informative and nice. just a minute walk to Dutch hospital and about 10 mins walk to Fort Rail Station.

Good value for the money. We stayed in a dormitory and it's basic but clean. There are lockers, wi-fi, good breakfast, hot water! It's perfect for backpackers on a budget who are looking for a bit of confort in this crazy city

Plus: Excellent location, the fort railway station and bus terminal are both in walking distance (15-20min). It's a nice choice to start or the end during the trip in Colombo. The staff are helpful and friendly. They gave me a lot of suggestions to my traveling plan in Sri Lanka. The breakfast they provided was abundant and tasty! Minus: No windows in the room, small dorm

Really liked this hostel for its central location, very helpful and nice staff, delicious breakfast, fast wifi, good price and comfortable room with aircon. Stayed here one night and came back for another.

Very clean for the shower room and toilet. Although the bed size is small for each, it is very clean as well. The staff is taking care the shower room until midnight, so he is also the good security parson for shared space. The hotel is located near the bus stops, so it's very easy to go to the other places in Sri Lanka. Free Wi-Fi is provided.

Good hotel to stay in colombo, if you want to be near Galle face or near to beach. Amenities are good. When you check in ask for the blanket, Towel, and bathing soap. If you can avoid, then better to buy mineral water bottle outside as its costly there, 150 rupees. Outside its 60. There is no lift, if its a problem to stay in the third floor, ask for lower floors.
