The room and the space exceeded my expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Staff where very friendly and helpful. For a budget stay Inn, it really was an amazing experience and the room certainly was not of budget standard at all. I loved the hippy and modern décor, made it feel very chilled compared to bustle happening outside. A very calm space was created.

We really liked the location, it was near to a lot of good places like the ganagaramaya temple and the big park! The stuff was really friendly especially the older guys at the restaurant (I forgot his name 😅) and Indika the manager- he was such a great guy and very helpful 🫰

    The staff of the hostel was super friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I was in a dorm but I had the room for myself. It has AC and it is super clean. The rooms are big, comfy and renovated. Breakfast was also included, it's a super good deal for the price!

    If you are a seasoned backpacker, you will appreciate this hostel. If not, you may find it basic. But the staff were incredible, so helpful and lovely. No hot water but you don’t really need it with the temperatures.

    Maria is an excellent host and always ready to help. The hostel is located really near to the beach and has good rooms. The common area specially the roof top is really pretty. You can stay here if you want to meet new people and have some fun parties.
