Total value for money and totally recommend.

Everything , specially we checked in so late and MR. Dinesh - the owner is so helpful and so cheerful . Hostel got private room which we booked and we pretty much liked it . It is total value for money . They also have a pool and a common area where everyone chill . I would recommend it to anyone visiting colombo , the location is right at mount lavinia beach near to all beach restaurants and shops . They also serves good brkfast and coffee ☺️

Nothing as such .

It was my first time in a hostel and I am beyond happy with it!

It was so chill, relaxing and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and very helpful! Great spaces to hang out in as well. I loved that they had coffee and food if you felt like eating in, also the location to the beach is perfect.

OK for a night or two

staff super friendly and the location of the hostel was great. Staff supervisor is a great cook!!

i booked a AC room and when I arrived I was told AC broke down and even though I was offered an extra fan, it was long hot and sweaty night. I guess it was bad luck but I was very unhappy. One advise is to be aware w the tuck tuck driver that stands outside the hostel an older guy, he will try to rip you off w the fare, use UBER to get the right price

Good

Large terrace with kitchen and toilet. The kitchen has utensils, drinking water, kettle, free coffee and tea. Clean.

The name Colombo is misleading, the hostel is quite far from the city, you need to go by train. And as it turned out, not all trains stop at Mount Lavinia station. The room is stuffy, I had to go up to the terrace at night and sleep there in a hammock.

You need to start and end your journey at this place!

I think this is the best place for your first stop in Sri Lanka. You have beach 3’ walk and also advantages of big city. When I read the reviews, I was scared there’s going to be very hot in the room, but the owner obviously takes the reviews seriously and it was pleasant surprise to me that there was the A/C in the room. There is an amazing rooftop to chill and get rested after the flight. There is a train station near by, from where you can continue your journey around Sri Lanka. The owner is very nice and helped us with planning our trip around. We will be back, we fell in love with this place!

Passable

The aircon worked and the bed was comfy enough. They were accommodating for late arrivals

There was dirt on the sheets when i arrived, mostly likely blown off from the aircon. The shower worked and was a nice temperature but the fixing was broken so it was only a trickle.

minimum comfort and expensive not worth the price

atmosphere was nice

minimum comfort, definitely not good value for money ! you can find much more affordable rooms all around. They really just provide you with a bed, in a very hot room (no AC and only 1 fan for 10 people !!) only one outlet in the room to charge your phone (you basically have to queue to use it)

A great rooftop area to hang out and meet people. very friendly and helpful staff

sleeping in a dorm unfortunately meant extreme heat that makes sleeping quite difficult. the mosquito nets were too small as well so you couldnt even stretch out in the damp heat of the room. i would love for a fan to be enough but in this climate a dorm needs to have an a/c. totally fine if its only on during the night to save energy.

Pleasant

I stopped for a night on my way down south, so it made sense to stop in Mount Lavinia. The property is close to the beach and there are decent food places nearby.

The wifi wasn’t working, and this was a bit of a problem since I work on the go. The shower in the private room was a mere trickle, and there was no hot water. For the price point, the facilities didn’t really add up.

Rooftop area is great

The rooftop is fantastic and the owner who is a lovely chap with fluent English is looking to develop it further. Location is 30m from Colombo fort and a couple of minutes from the beach.

Room was extremely basic, but adaquete.

Really nice place if you don't wanna be in Colombo (but close enough) and close to the beach! !

The two girls from the reception are lovely and helpful with everything you are asking them! The cleaning man is nice and is cleaning all time :) The rooftop kitchen/garden is really nice to chill, relax, cook, eat, drink and meet new people! The 8 bed dorm upstairs was spacious with an interesting shower;) the garden in front is nice to hang around too... 2min walking to the beach with lovely restaurants (sugar beach). Also the main road is close by with two supermarkets where u find everything u need, bus stops are around, 10min walking to Station Road Mount Lavinia to catch a train!

The kitchen area needs a bit more cutlery (sharp knives etc.) and a bit more storage for food which doesnt have to be in the fridge, but that's complaining on a high level ;)
