+ The location was good and the room was clean. If they provided breakfast, it would be easier for us.

Hotel Manager was really friendly. Not sure how good his English was or if I just struggled to understand him. The room was quite dirty, especially the floor.

Very cheap and nice hostel for a quick stop in Colombo! When we arrived in Colombo our luggage was lost, and the owner was very helpful. He offered to take the bags if they came while we were away, and even offered to keep them safe if they would arrive after we left! Overall a very nice stay.
