This is one of the best hostels to stay for backpackers as you can have a perfect start to your exploration of Sri Lanka. Amenities such as beach restaurants, bars, banks and coffee shops are located within a very close proximity.

A best place to have a relaxing time unwind with new friends.

Only bed sheet to cover mattress. Shower was Luke warm at best. Facilities were clean and tidy. Well kept. Receive a page of things to do in the area on arrival as well which helps. The kicker here is the rooftop kitchen area where you can make yourself food/drink and socialise with other guests. Was a great atmosphere and really relaxing to spend time up there.

We arrived in the middle of the night, there was only a boy in the "reception" who didn't speak English. He had problems to find our booking. After awhile he went to get his father, I presume. He find the booking, but it was registered on wrong name. The room was okey, it had a fan and worked for a couple of days. However it was not so clean and the toilet was loose.
The first impression was not so great, but after some days the overall impression was okey. The manager was friendly and helpful and he could speak English. They have a nice rooftop where you can make your own food.
