OK for one night. The welcome was very nice, but the room was rather mediocre. The toilets were quite good and the shower was OK

The owner was very kind and kindly helped us with everything from introducing recommended restaurants to helping with mailing procedures and copying documents. I don't usually write reviews, but I decided to write one because the staff were very kind and it was a hostel that I would definitely want to stay at again when I come to Colombo. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience.
