Awesome host who is very resourceful. He can arrange sharing tours for you to save up on money. The beds are clean and the ambience is awesome.

Very friendly staff, helping with planning nice activities, booking train tickets and give travel advice for the rest of Sri Lanka. Relaxed atmosphere, a bit out of the centre so nice and quit, but walking distance from the city. Dorms (with fan) and bathroom are simple, and staff immediately helps when needed. Breakfast is simple but really nice :) Good price/quality

The guy who owns this place is the best. He is super friendly, gets you tours that are cheapest in town, he is really helpful and easygoing. He goes out of his way to help you if needed.

The hostel is really nice, clean, organized and safe. Breakfasts are amazing. There is always tea and coffee for free you can help yourself. Beds don't have mosquito net (yet) but there was not mosquitos when I stayed there.

Good wifi, clean bathrooms and showers (not that big though). The atmosphere in the hostel is great. I give it 5/5 thumbs up!
