+ Das Frühstück war sehr süß zubereitet und die beiden Damen, die das Hostel leiten sind unendlich lieb und bemüht

- Das Gebäude ist sehr heruntergekommen, kahle weiße Wände und grelles weißes Licht hinter Ventilatoren - ziemlich brutal wenn man etwas Ruhe braucht

Bed Bugs! Don’t understand how this hostel has such a high rating, it was absolutely disgusting! even though it’s really close to Colombo Fort Railway Station please avoid, it’ll save time and hassle of trying to get rid of them after leaving as they have now infested my backpack!

Taiwan Solo traveler Apr 1, 2026 9.0/10

+ the location is close to colombo fort train station. just go out from the back of train station. there is a small train station next to it. It's easier to take train along the beach. The lady is so nice. She will give answer for what travelers might have. The breakfast is delicious. It's rare to have such a full breakfast. I can feel how much they keep cleanness for the hostel. You can take bus to airport in front of colombo fort train station. in female dorm, there is an individual shower and toilet.

- the entrance sign is not obvious. There are three accommodations in this building. Just follow the sign to upstairs.

+ Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut. 800m zum Bahnhof Colombo Fort. Die beiden Damen Neela und Indra(zuständig für das ausgezeichnete Frühstück) sind immer da und äußerst hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind sauber, Handtuch vorhanden, AC in der Nacht. Ich werde nächstes Jahr wieder kommen.
