It's close to the airport and right across from a restaurant that's open pretty late. It's a great spot if you need a place to stay before an early morning flight or right after one. It's an eight room bed setup (no bunk beds). The owner is really nice. He'll help you 24/7 with directions or even organize a Tuk Tuk ride to the airport if needed. The beds have clean linen, a lamp, a towel and a socket. The room has AC so that's a win.

I stayed for three nights in this hostel, and I believe it’s the best place to get a local experience. It’s a small hostel, not like a five-star hotel, but what makes it stand out is the personalized service. The staff gave us detailed information about the country and helped us plan our journey. They even arranged a boat safari to Muthurajavela National Park, where we saw monkeys, a crocodile, and many birds, as well as the Dutch Canal and lagoon. I’ll definitely come back before I leave Sri Lanka again!

Great location very close to the airport. Management and staff were very friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Being on the lagoon meant you had a lovely cool breeze blowing, enough to tone down the muggy heat.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near airport! Ashan made sure I could arrive safely late at night and gave me heaps of advice on getting around Sri Lanka. I came back again at the end of my time in the country and he was super helpful in making sure I got to the airport in the early morning! The room was nice and clean. Lovely stay thank you so much!!!
