I do not recommend this place. The room had a ton of ants all over bathroom and floor and they came up on the bed. The room was disgusting and not cleaned. They need serious cleaning services there.

Fint nok, tæt på lufthavnen men det var så det. IKKE tæt på negombo, langt fra alt andet bl.a. supermarked… de er i gang med den STORE renovering, larmede fra 8 om morgenen og vi tjekkede ind kl 5am meget ØV. Der var pool men den kunne ikke bruges endnu heller ikke restaurant eller køkken, byggerod

Es ist ein tolles Hostel umgeben von Palmen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hat mit uns zu Abend gegessen und spiele gespielt. Die waren noch am bauen als ich da war, aber man konnte alles schon benutzen, sogar der Pool!

The hostel still has a few areas under construction, so will be even better when those are finished. It's exactly what you'd want from an airport hostel: nearby for a late arrival with incredibly friendly staff. Mario helped me plan a complicated bus route and checked in on me to make sure I'd made my connections. Thanks so much for a lovely landing in Sri Lanka!

다음날 공항 가야해서 1박함. 화장실청소 요함. 지린내가 다서 힘들었음!! 벽에 붙박이 선풍기는 너무 시끄럽게 돌아갔고... 주변은 컴컴한 민가에 바다랑 가깝지도 않았음. 4키로 정도 떨어져 있다고 했고 공항에서 개인 우버 영업하는택시를 싸지도 않은 가격에 탔는데... 여성혼자 여행하니(하지만 나는 이미 50여개국 여행한 전문가 수준의 여행자) 되지도 않게 얕잡아보고 잡...
