"Nice"

8.0

It's a nice hostel with nice 4 shared dorms with an Ac. It's also across from a surf shop that will give you a discount if you stay here.

Don't think it's the hostel's fault, but some guests didn't realise it wasn't a party hostel and carried on as if it was. It can get noisy

"Not comfortable, just practical"

5.0

It is very practical, near the city and it has all you need. They have a pretty good system with water bottles. You get one by arrival and you can refill it for 100 LKR.

The private room was very plain. No pictures, no colours, just a small room with a bunkbed and a cupboard. We didn’t felt very comfortable there.
