Amazing !
Súper location close to Colombo Fort train Station. I arrive at 1 am and the staff was waiting for me. The building seemed to be new and the entrance and inside decor is so nice that I was not sure if I was in the right pleca. The room has 4 bed, very comfortable mattress and cool A.C. So far I am very impressed. I don’t know the name of the man in charge of the night shift, but he was very attentive and gave a tour of the place and answer all my questions about the location. 7 stars 👌👌👏👏😊

Really great hostel! More like a hotel with dorms, very modern and in a really nice location. Got friendly with the all the staff, they are super super friendly and will help guide and assist you with whatever it is that you wish to do, couldn’t recommend the place more. Very nice to meet other guests from all over the world also! They have water you can purchase water there or if you have your own bottle there is free filtered water. It was clean also, showers, toilets all good 😊

フォート地区にあるホステル（ホテル）。4人部屋のドミトリールームに３泊しました。清潔感のあるホステルで、スタッフは親切。日本語の話せるスタッフもいました。日本人客の姿もちらほらと見かけました。ホテルに入るとエアコンが効いていて、外とは違って涼しく快適に過ごすことができました。周辺は本来は賑やかなエリアだと思いますが、経済が破綻した影響なのか、閉まっているお店が多いように感じました。いずれにしても快適に過ごすことのできる、良いホステルだと思いました。
