The bed was really comfortable, the location was really good and it was the only good shower I had in Sri Lanka. The staff was really helpful in planing activities, tours and transportation.

    I would say this was the best hostel I've stayed at so far on my trip to Sri Lanka. Very social. The owner is super nice and tried to get everyone to join in some games in the evening and makes everyone feel welcome. The breakfast and dinners were also very nice. I also left my jumper behind and the owner helped organise someone to bring it with them to the destination I was at which was super helpful.

    Staff very accommodating. Tea is free as long as it's black. Food is served here also, with very reasonable price. Very clean, stylish common area good location to meet other backpackers and socialise, but not a party hostel so can enjoy the sleep at night.
