Hostel agréable et propre! Les lits dans les dortoirs sont dotés de rideaux, de prise et lumière individuelles, ce qui est vraiment appréciable^^
La piscine est top :)
Le petit déjeuner était délicieux mais un peu léger

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, zwei Nächte im Seconds Colombo zu verbringen und war rundum zufrieden mit meinem Aufenthalt.
**Check-in und Zimmer:** Das Einchecken verlief reibungslos und das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Mein Zimmer war geräumig und makellos sauber
**Service:** Der Service im Hotel war erstklassig. Das Personal war stets aufmerksam und zuvorkommend und stand jederzeit für Fragen und Anliegen zur Verfügung.

They have a pool
They tried to scam me when I arrived by using the wrong dollar exchange rate. When I mentioned this, they said it's because I pay in USD and they have to convert it. Then they asked for payment in LKR. Yes I know it doesn't make sense.

旅行一个月,住过五个青旅,这家是最棒的,女老板是个漂亮幽默风趣的欧洲人!住的那天正好赶上情人节,晚上请了一个小乐队还贴心的给大家每人一杯小酒一块心形饼干,真的感动到我了!很棒的一次体验,下次去科伦坡还会选择她家!
暂时还没有感觉哪里不舒服!

A lot of emphasis on getting-together. Perfect hostel feeling with a lot of nice details. Its quite the oasis in the middle of the busy streets of Colombo.

L ambiance très cool , un belle décoration, bien sûre la piscine est vraiment très appréciable. Je n ai passé qu une nuit . Une très belle halte en début et en fin de séjour.
Un peu bruyant le matin , difficile de savoir d ou ça provenait . C est en ville !

Nette Besitzer, sehr bemüht. Familiäres Umfeld.
Man muss mit dem Taxi/ Tuktuk in die Stadt fahren. In der Umgebung ist nicht viel. Hätte sauberer sein können (Küche/ Bad).

Bed was very comfy, ac works well, staff really nice and knowledgeable. It's nice to have a restaurant on site. The pool was refreshing!
The showers are very tiny. It's quite far from central Colombo but it's super easy to reach with public transport.

I initially chose this hostel because it was the only one I could see with a pool but it went above and beyond my expectations. The staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable of the area, the food was delicious and the beds were comfortable with A/C. I accidentally left some clothes at the hostel and Lisa posted them all the way to the UK for me so thank you so much Lisa :) I'll definitely recommend Seconds to friends and will stay again next time I'm in Colombo
The tuc tucs at the side of the road overcharge so it's best to get an Uber but the people are lovely and I loved Sri Lanka as a whole!

Super hostel avec un accueil au top de notre hôte Lisa. Nous avons d'ailleurs pu aller au sport avec elle le lendemain de notre arrivée. L'hostel est au calme, avec un super petit jardin et une piscine. Le menu est délicieux. Tout pour bien démarrer notre séjour Sri Lankais

Der er en fed stemning og man føler sig meget hurtigt velkommen. Privat værelset er dejligt med kold AC, og poolen er også rar. Virkelig lækker morgenmad og god kaffe
Der var ikke nogen dyne, og det bliver for koldt om natten med AC tændt, og for varmt når den er slukket. Men det er en mindre detalje. Vi fik også vasket tøj her som var lidt dyrt, så vi blev lidt chokeret da vi selv skulle hente det og at det lugtede lidt surt og stadig var lidt vådt. Men på tråds af det, var det stadig et dejligt ophold

It's a nice hostel, clean and comfortable. The volunteers and the manager are friendly
The entrance gate has a lock
Good location next to the bus stop
The communication of the hostel is slightly passive aggressive. Check the notices on the walls and the official answers on Google maps. They can call a customer "a typical Karen" and ask "what do you expect from $8". I felt a bit uncomfortable because of it (but I checked the reviews after I booked it)
The rule "no food from the outside" is quite odd for a hostel, they have their own cafe but still...
There's no place to work, every corner of the common space is pretty loud and they have sockets only in one location..
The Booking pictures are a bit overpromissing.

The beds were comfortable, each with a personal light, plug socket and shelf. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The air conditioning in the rooms was really good.
There was not really any comfortable seating inside the hostel anywhere, just really stiff chairs. I also chose this hostel because of three healthy restaurant attached and I wasn’t told until after check in (and I’d paid in full) that the restaurant was closed for renovations.

Schönes Hostel mit richtig tollem Hof zum sitzen und kleinem Pool zum abkühlen.
Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer. Die Größe des Zimmers und Bettes war ok für eine Nacht. Es gab auch eine AC und einen Ventilator.
Das Gemeinschaftsbad war relativ sauber und das Personal, besonders die Managerin, waren sehr nett.
Es hat etwas muffig gerochen im Zimmer und für mich war das Bett zu hart. Ansonsten hat es gepasst für ein Hostel.

Schöner Community Bereich indoor/outdoor, um Gleichgesinnte kennenzulernen. Auch wenn leider im Zeitraum meines Aufenthalts scheinbar kaum andere Reisende dort waren und primär Volunteers da waren. Inkludiertes Frühstück ok (Waffeln mit Bananen). Gemeinschaftsbad recht einfach gehalten, ausreichend auch wenn es hätte sauberer sein können. Gute WLAN Verbindung und AC im Raum.
Entfernung zum Stadtzentrum mit Busbahnhof und Food Markt ca 20min mit TukTuk.
Sauberes Gemeinschaftsbad, mehr Auskünfte vom Personal bezüglich was man in Colombo unternehmen kann, sowie Auskünfte über Weiterreise. Dies mag an eventuell neueren Volunteers gelegen zu haben, und ist anzüglich verständlich - ein wenig mehr Support/Wissen wäre jedoch klasse gewesen.

The location is great and very close to the city center, buses, and tasty places to eat.
The pool was very clean and a good size, and there are plenty of spaces to relax around the pool and elsewhere in the outside area.
The food was absolutely delicious, particularly the banana and honey waffles that are the option of breakfast is included.
The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable with good air conditioning; the shared bathrooms are also very clean with good hot water.
The staff are very friendly and gave us some good advice about the area and which buses to catch.
Sometimes the staff entered the dorms without knocking first, so should try to do so in future to increase privacy a bit.

The pool
They offered free breakfast which was included in the booking and later charged us for it. They charged us way more than the booking price. The location is shady and far from everything. I have no idea why anyone would choose to go here

Good outdoor space to hangout. Breakfast was decent. Locked gate for security. Hosts were fast to respond on instagram. Helper, although little English, was very kind and attentive and seemed to do everything for the place.
Rooms were small and messy. No bed curtains downstairs. Bathroom need much attention downstairs; dirty mop, no hooks, no counter, always stuff everywhere and smells. Kitchenette dirty. Location is far from the city center (30mins). Hosts were absent most of the time and when around seemed standoffish, not too social. Just takes some small attention throughout to really improve this place…

The ambiance was amazing. A hostel with a pool, that’s awesome. Great place to stay in the city of Colombo with superb assistance. Yanise is so kind and friendly. You can always count on her. We had only one breakfast out of 6 days stay as we went outside Colombo as well, for 3 days. Nice location and staffs. Will surely book the same hostel if given the chance. Cool room as well by the way. We’re group of six (friends) and they put us together in one room. Cheers.
None.

the outside area is really nice,you can meet nice ppl there .
I stayed in a dorm,the bathroom was filthy.
lockers have no keys,so everybody's stuff stays on the floor(imagine 6 traveller)
the girls at the reception,seem to be volunteering and didn't know much about the place....
i feel like it could be a much nicier place,but needs more organization.
it says free breakfast on booking,i asked ppl staying there for days that never had it....
so i asked them and they made me some pancakes...
bathroom was dirty,bed has a foam mattress,it isn't the comfiest
