    I had heard about the place with the quirky name "bunky monkey" hostel before but didn't know where it was. Pleasantly surprised at how nice this place was. Bunky Monkey hostel's best feature I would say is the rooftop. Overlooking the busy city as well as the ocean. Definitely make a stop here.

    I would like to stay longer here..it's pretty cool. Nice people who works here , you need some codenumbers for the frontdoor and door of your room so you can feel really safety...the room s are clean, like the bathrooms...the beds are really cosy (couldn't find sleep last two night at another hostel :S) I love it here...I could leave my luggage in the dorm as long as i want after checking out cause I had to do some stuff till lunchtime ! Was one of the best hostel I've ever been! Thank you :)

    (Translated by Google) The boss said: Just three months after the opening, many things are still improving (but the basics: clean environment, waiter attitude, tea supply (too much needed), beautiful prices, overall are very satisfactory!!). Although there are still some things that can be better, ex. girls most need hair dryers, a place for bathing clothes... (the boss says it will be improved gradually~). The top floor!!! Especially the top floor!! The sea, the railway, the sunset, this is a dreamy scene~~~ It’s really a plus point!! It is the most enjoyable place. Although I only stayed for one night, I can’t wait to visit again. In a city like Colombo, which is not Sri Lanka, this place must be a comfortable place to comfort people!!! (Original) 老闆表示:剛開幕三個月,很多東西還在持續改善(但基本的:環境乾淨、服務員態度、茶水供應(太需要了)、價格漂亮,整體都是令人很滿意的呀!!)。雖然還是有些東西可以再更好,ex.女生最需要的吹風機、洗澡衣物放置的地方...(老闆說會陸續改善~)。 頂樓!!!尤其是那頂樓!! 海、鐵路、夕陽,這就是夢幻的場景呀~~~真的太加分了頂樓!!如果住了千萬別錯過那頂樓美景,不論早晚,那裏肯定是最享受的地方了。雖然只住了一晚,但我已迫不及待再度光臨,在colombo這麼不斯里蘭卡的城市,這裡必是可以撫慰人心的一個舒適住所!!!大推!!

    (Translated by Google) Pros: good for saving money. Rooftop up on the 3rd floor is really cool. Staff are very friendly, helpful and real tips! Cons: general cleanliness of the family room should be increased urgently. That doesn't just mean sweeping and changing bedding. There were 2 in the family room. To 4 it would be difficult because there was hardly any space next to the free bed. (Original) Pro: gut um Geld zu sparen. Rooftop oben auf der 3. Etage ist echt cool. Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und echte Tipps! Cons: allgemeine Sauberkeit des Familienzimmers sollte drigend erhöht werden. Das heißt nicht nur eben Fegen und Bettzeug wechseln. Waren zu 2 im Familienzimmer. Zu 4 wäre es schwierig da es kaum Ablagemöglichkeiten neben den freien Bett gab.

  • 5/5 Jessica 5 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The hostel is very pleasant, clean and spacious. All the team is really welcoming, kind, and friendly. Further to an accident of scooter before my coming, I had wounds in knees, and they took time to look after me and to change my bandages during all my stay here. The kitchen is very good also. I recommend 100% the Bunky Monkey Hostel!!!

Thank you for your kindness from Japan
