    In the busy City, this is a calm place. Reasonable price. Friendly staff. Roof top has a great atmosphere. I like this place actually. Wonderful place. Good customer service too.

    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 💕

    Basic but clean, the day we arrived they had just opened the private rooms big and spacious but nowhere to put anything, no other furniture only the bed and sockets to high on the wall, staff were very friendly and helpful, roof terrace good views of the city, 24 hour security with staff available at any time needed

    Good place to stay for a low cost. Manager is very freindly and supportive. 🔴 Seperate parking spaces are not available. But you can park in the road near to the building.

    Miracle City Inn Hostel is a great value for either a short or long stay in Colombo. It’s newly renovated, well-designed, and quiet. The rooftop is a nice spot to enjoy morning coffee or tea (or a beer at sunset), and they have lots of other amenities, as well, like a dartboard, fooseball table, soundsystem, and projector/screen for watching movies. They also helped us with our laundry and charged a reasonable rate (compared to other laundry services in the area). And then there is the staff. What a warm, kind and helpful group of people. We enjoyed talking with them and learning from them, and they were full of helpful tips as we were planning our visit to Sri Lanka. They also run a travel agency on the first floor so there is a lot of knowledge in that building. If we find ourselves in Colombo again, we’d stay here and would definitely recommend it if you’re visiting the area.

    We had a nice little stay before our flight the next day. We had the private room, it was clean and well presented. Slight annoyance it was right next to the reception desk. But the big bed and the fan / air conditioning combo made up for it. The staff were polite. Would go again

    I stayed here for one night with my boyfriend at the end of July 2019. Private bedroom and a bathroom. This place reopens after a full renovation. Very easy to find. Great location, near local restaurants, mall, movie theaters, buses, and other amenities. We stayed in a lot of places in Sri Lanka and by far this is the best place for strong Wi-Fi (that actual works)!! The whole building is clean. You can do laundry, lounge around the rooftops, enjoy a great landscape view, read books, cook your own meals, play games, etc! There is even a water refill station for free! They even allow us to do a late checkout and store our bags while we are killing time waiting for our flights! We couldn't ask for more. For the price we paid for, this is an excellent place to stay in Colombo!!! The only downside is a lot of stairs. Great for backpackers and minimalists.

    Stayed here for 3 days during my stay in Colombo. Had my private room with a private bathroom. Fully renovated,air conditioned,very comfy bed lovely and friendly host. In an excellent safe location next door to the presidents house. A quiet location walking distance to the fish market and the heart of Colombo district. Fully equipped kitchen on the rooftop for cooking up the fresh seafood. The Rooftop area was a highlight of my stay kicking back with a drink, lovely views ,chatting to other travellers... will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Ruva S. 3 years ago on Google
    Stayed over with a bunch of friends and had the best time. There's a really cool rooftop restaurant to hang out at and a bunch of games to pass time. Beds are spacious and comfy. The washrooms were clean with hot showers. All in all we had a really lovely time and would surely stay there again. Kudos to the manager and the staff for doing an amazing job with the place. Great value for money. But do take your own iron and hairdryer since they don't provide those.

    Customer service is atrocious. The receptionist, in particular, is a rogue. My friend had a high fever and couldn't go out to obtain money to pay for the hostel. So he requested me to bring him his money. I was a little late due to my work commitments. They have not even assisted him in obtaining panadol and have repeatedly woken him up and disturbed my sick friend for payment. While I was at her counter. she was badmouthing about my friend saying “that giy must be acting to refuse the payment” thinking i doesn't understand the local language she is speaking. at least for human curiosity if she checked him properly she would have known whether is having fever or not. by the time i reach there my friends temperature was really high. there was old uncle working only him helped us to get the things. my friend never had any intention to runways, if that is his intention he wouldn’t have called to get his money. as foreigner i was only friend for him. its my fault that i couldn’t come early to pay it. as human, this is not a way to treat someone who is sick. very cold hearted staff. she maybe genuine to her management and wanted to collect the money and show off. but there is was to treat people. specifically if someone is sick.

    The front desk knew that I checked in on 1.31 and checked out on the morning of 2.2. also know that I paid 5000 rupees for two days' stay. But they said that I had to pay one day less room fee. I don’t know how to reduce the room fee for that day. My one thousand deposit will not be refunded to me, and I need to catch a flight. I don’t have that much time to keep saying such a simple thing. I don't speak English, but how can this be complicated? No matter what, you win. I hope someone else can figure out the bill and give the thousand rupees to the Tamil speaking woman at the front desk. Overall, traveling in Sri Lanka is very good

    Good location. The bed was clean. But the whole building and the each floors are not nice. Look like it's under construction. The owner is very friendly. Another person, who is cleaning a room and preparing a dishes, was bad behavior and tried to cheat me. ( About this issue, the owner said “ give her a chance.” 🤷🏼) And the breakfast was not good, so you should buy or go to a cafe. Just one night is fine. It’s not a comfortable place and unsafe.

  • 1/5 Nicole P. 8 months ago on Google
    I don’t know what to say. First, the stuff was super nice and helpful and the bed comfy and clean BUT the building looks abonded and also the area really scatchy. The rooms, the common area and the building looks really different in realty. Broken, old, dangerous to step on..(the fire stairs) I also think you can come in the building the whole night because doors weren’t closed…so really not the safest. It was okay for one night but wouldn’t recommend it as a solo traveling women or in general.

    Great Budget Hostel, Rooms are clean and spacious, the bed is large enough for me (1,95m). We arrived in the middle of the night, employes were friendly and helpful. They organized us a Driver from the airport to the hostel for 6k Rupies which us totally fine. Would recommend it!!

  • 5/5 Charls D. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I had a truly positive experience at this location. I opted for a dormitory room, which was reasonably priced at 8.5 USD (around SLR 2600/-) and included an excellent breakfast. The room was well-maintained and neat, with clean towels and bedsheets provided. I appreciated the provision of separate lock and key for our belongings. The room was equipped with amenities like AC, charging ports, individual lamps for each bed, and curtains for added privacy. All in all, it was a great place to stay. The manager and staff were supportive as well. 👍👍

    The worst place to stay in Colombo. The customer service was nil. The room was a newly built one and there wasn’t even the minimum requirements to stay a night. No chair, no towel rack and the bed was broken. When I asked for a chair to put towels the receptionist didn’t even care about it. A low budget place but cannot recommend to visit.
