Since the hostel was fully booked, I only stayed for one night. It was a very social hostel, clean, and the breakfast was great. The common area was very nice, and we played carrom together, which was fun.

The hostel was very spacious, and I was there alone. I extended my stay because the internet was the fastest in Sri Lanka. It was calm and quiet, and the breakfast was delicious.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Lovely host. Sham is a very nice person. All the other staff also, very friendly and helpful 🫶 The place is wonderful, feels like safe and chillful, and so far the best hostel we ever been in Sri Lanka. The food is soooo delicious 😋 You could go for a walk with Marley, one of the cutest dogs I ever met!!
