It is a beautiful place in a quiet area in the downtown core of Columbo. The beds are good, it's clean and well kept, very nicely decorated.

New stylish high-end hotel (open since April 2025) with many rooms and a 24/7 reception. The rooms are very comfy, well equipped and offer you much space. They are highly cleaned and make you feel very welcome. The centre of Colombo is a 15-20 minutes TukTuk away, so the location is nice, too. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even organized a late night taxi to the airport for us. I highly recommend this place.

What a lovely place!🥺 The staff is very kind and helpful, and the room is clean, safe, and spacious. The maintenance is superb—we loved the large lobby area. The hospitality is outstanding, and I truly appreciated it. They are equally kind to both locals and foreigners. The best part is that I had a chance to support their prevention programs, as they use the hostel’s profits to fund these initiatives. That means a lot to me. I encourage everyone to book a reservation at this hostel and help support these meaningful programs. Thank you. 🙏

As a long-term backpacker who is easy to please, I give my ratings on the enjoyment and the helpfulness that I receive from the staff. For this accommodation I give it a 10! Even if the outside is a bit rough around the edges, please don't let that spoil your enjoyment. Feeno is a hard-working manager who not only cleans but prepares the breakfast and paints the walls and always with a smile on her face. She depends on good reviews, so please remember this, and she also deserves a tip 😆 Thank you for a lovely time, I will be back soon

Our host Malitha was so helpful, he stayed in communication with us whilst our flight was diverted and we ended up in Sri Lanka later than expected, he gave us so many tips and recommendations for Sri Lanka and showed us on the map good places to go for our back packing trip. He gave us great advice about transportation as well and helped with our PickMe driver when they couldn’t find the hostel. Malitha made our stay exceptional! Location was good, short walk to some restaurants and cafes, also a shopping centre in front of the hostel. The room was basic but clean and slept all night with ear plugs, also air con which is lovely! Thank you for all your help Malitha :)
