Just the right place for me. Quiet and calm. Worth the price. Short distance to restaurants, nightlife, beach and shopping etc. Good location, easy to find. Tasty Sri Lankan breakfast. The cocktail Curly Special puts the finishing touch for my stay.

It close to the beach area. Which itself wasn't a good experience. Its very touristy and the prices on the street is above the roof. Its got a very dirty beach and not a very good vibe.

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.

    I stayed here on my last day in Sri Lanka to leave for the airport.The rooms are very clean and good. All basic toiletries were available and it was all you need on your transit days.The host was very kind n friendly, helped with early morning tuk tuk for 1500.He also gave good suggestions for eateries nearby which were super convenient and budget friendly.I highly recommend this place 🙂..Airport is just 15 min away and I was traveling solo n felt safe n comfortable here.
