this place is wonderful! And you're gonna meet so many nice people here. Every night we have dinner together. In the morning, make your coffee and sit on the rooftop. At first, you might find this area of the city boring… But after a day or two of walking around, you'll see a really fascinating and striking charm that many miss when they visit Colombo. This is not a party area, this is something else, and I think when you walk the hundreds of narrow alleys, and check out the little tiny cafés… You'll find that Colombo is a place to visit by itself, not just a place to catch a train to some other town in Sri Lanka

I had a fantastic one-night stay before my train to Kandy. The place stands out as one of my favorites. The owner's family was incredibly welcoming, treating me to tea and snacks (and a spontaneous Turkish coffee from a turkish traveler!) in an evening talk session with fellow travelers. Marsha went above and beyond, helping me plan my unplanned trip to Sri Lanka, sharing information on the must-visit, and even checking in on my train ticket. The bed was comfy, facilities were clean, AC was cold, and the WiFi worked flawlessly. Don't forget to chat with the two little kids – they're your unofficial information desk. Highly recommend!

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.

    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.
