Located around 48 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden, the hostel with free WiFi is also 49 km away from Horton Plains National Park. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. I booked 3 nights here in the 4beds shared room, but in the end I couldn't stay at the hostel because of a mistake that I made. The owner was super cool about that and even helped me to sort out my situation and invited me for a chat and some tea. He is the sweetest person and has a lot of advice to offer. I recommend this hostel to everyone, especially solo travelers, cause there is a very social atmosphere. Thanks again my friend, I wish you and your family all the best
