To
be
honest
I
was
expecting
MUCH
more
when
arriving
to
Miracle
City
hostel
due
to
the
insanely
high
ratings.
The
beds
are
very
comfortable,
spacious,
they
are
super
private
as
the
curtain
is
dark
and
the
air
conditioning
is
powerful.
They
provide
lockers
for
you
and
there’s
toilets/showers
on
each
floor.
There
is
a
rooftop
area
to
sit
but
it’s
not
comfortable
at
all,
they
need
some
comfortable
chairs
or
beanbags
rather
than
just
hard
blocks
of
wood
to
sit
on
😊
they
do
laundry
for
you
too
at
a
good
cost
of
1500rs.
The
cook
upstairs
was
very
hit
and
miss-
sometimes
she
was
really
smiley,
other
times
it
seemed
like
even
asking
for
hot
water
was
an
inconvenience…
I
think
she
was
annoyed
we
were
making
our
own
porridge…
but
it’s
a
hostel
🤷🏽♀️
(backpackers
often
eat
their
own
food)
-
No
duvet,
just
a
sheet
so
it
gets
quite
cold🛌
-
There
was
apparently
a
toilet
roll
thief
because
on
my
first
two
days
there
was
never
any
in
either
of
the
four
toilets..
(I’d
advise
storing
spares
in
the
cupboards
in
the
toilet
so
there’s
always
some
available).
🧻
-
There
is
body
wash/shampoo
dispensers
in
each
shower
but
these
were
never
filled
up
so
toiletries
aren’t
included.
🧼
-
Also
states
online
that
tea
and
coffee
making
facilities
plus
bbq/cooking
facilities
are
available
-
this
isn’t
the
case
and
you
have
to
ask
for
hot
water
to
make
your
own
tea/coffee
☕️
they
do
serve
food
though.
-
Drinking
water
is
available
but
only
if
you
drink
it
from
the
tiny
glasses
provided,
if
you
wish
to
refill
your
bottle
it’s
200rs
which
is
more
expensive
than
buying
a
COLD
bottle
from
the
shop..
we
have
our
own
waterbottles
to
save
plastic
and
it’s
the
first
hostel
we’ve
been
in
(9
months
travelling)
which
doesn’t
provide
free
refills.
😔
-
Front
door
doesn’t
get
locked
throughout
day/night,
the
fire
escape
on
the
second
floor
is
a
broken
door,
looks
like
it
would
crumble
to
the
ground
if
you
stood
on
it
-
seriously
needs
to
be
addressed
-
looks
so
dangerous
(also
somebody
could
enter
the
building
from
here..)
It’s
very
cheap
and
central
hostel
to
stay
in
when
visiting
Colombo,
walking
distance
to
shops/restaurants
and
30
min
walk
to
the
main
centre.
It’s
comfortable
and
clean
but
I’ve
stayed
in
a
LOT
of
hostels
over
many
travels
and
wouldn’t
go
as
extreme
as
saying
it’s
‘superb’.
Feels
as
though
people
stay
here
just
for
a
stop
off
for
the
airport
as
there
isn’t
much
going
on.
I
think
this
property
needs
a
bit
of
TLC
💕
