    This place is infested with bed bugs! We booed the 6 dorm mix and by 11pm we had and saw bed bugs crawling all over us! Alerted staff who wanted to move is to the other beds in same room but on inspection they were also Infested. We were then moved to another room three rooms away in the female 6 bed bug again they were crawling all over mattress and woods on the bed. We looked at the couch and there were huge nests and the bed bugs were scattered all over the couch. The staff were persistent we sleep in the beds but we decided to sit on the tiles in the open hallway all night away from everything. We know have bed bug bites all over us! How has this place for such good rates and reviews.

    Good hostel well situated near by the bus stop for the bus that comes from arugam bay. It's cheap and the lady working there is lovely even if I had some issues understanding her English. We could check in at 3h30 am cause we were coming with the night bus. The breakfast is included. It's 2 toasts with egg. The beds and pillow are comfortable but the ro without AC is kind of hot. Around 8$ per night for one bed in a dorm

    Helpful and caring staffs make us feel like home although accommodation is not so modern. There is kitchen and we can cook ourselves, washing machine is available. Louge and living room is elegant, good place for chatting and chilling.

  • 5/5 Joseph R. 5 years ago on Google
    So long travelling now it was a blessing to have the two lovely ladies provide the motherly care that I didn't realise I was lacking. Not possible to get this kind of love and good natured fun in any other hostel I've been to. Thank You, Bless

    We had a great experience here. There was plenty of room in this season (end of January). The staff is very friendly and helpful. This hostel includes breakfast. We stay in a 8 bed dorm pretty much by ourselves with AC

  • 5/5 Etienne C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great hostel in Colombo, close to the Maradana train station (15 minutes walk) and with good bus connection to Colombo fort. The hostel is compact but is confortable. There's an inside and outside common room. There's lockers and AC in the bed rooms. They serve a simple breakfast in the morning.

    An ok hostel. Great wifi. Good breakfast. AC rules need to be loosened as they take them very seriously. One lady is constantly in your room and is extremely invasive. Loud conversations by the staff outside 4 of the dorms (the female dorm is immune to this noise) where you're guaranteed to be woken up by the owners around 6 as they barge in to turn off AC and begin with their conversations that just never seem to end. This is a GREAT hostel for 1 or 2 nights and if you want to get an early start to your day.

    (Translated by Google) Worst hostel we have ever been to! Unfortunately I have to give a star to post this review! We were shouted at as a greeting, our booking was not available and then they asked us for more money than we actually intended! The rooms were stuffy, dark, cramped, stinky and dirty. The baths were flooded with water. In addition, the TV was on all day and all night and the owners shouted! Better go to another hostel, we cannot recommend this 100% and nothing like this has ever happened to us! (Original) Schlechtestes Hostel in dem wir je waren! Leider muss ich einen Stern geben, um diese Bewertung zu posten! Wir wurden zur Begrüßung angeschrien, unsere Buchung war nicht vorhanden und dann haben sie noch mehr Geld von uns verlangt als eigentlich vorgesehen! Die Zimmer waren stickig, dunkel, eng, haben gestunken und dreckig. Die Bäder waren überflutet mit Wasser. Zudem ist den ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht der Fernseher laut gelaufen und die Besitzer haben rum geschrien! Geht lieber in ein anderes Hostel, wir können dieses zu 100% nicht empfehlen und so etwas ist uns noch nie passiert!

    (Translated by Google) Very friendly atmosphere, cheap to sleep, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast included in the price, there is a kitchen can be cooked, I can only recommend who is not looking for luxury for its perfect. (Original) Nagyon barátságos légkör, olcsón lehet aludni, kényelmes ágy, finom reggeli benne az árban, van konyha lehet főzni, csak ajánlani tudom, aki nem keresi luxust annak tőkéletes.
