This hostel was really nice — I had a great time. They offer blankets as it gets cold at night, and if you need anything, the staff are really helpful.

Amazing staff, nice vibe. The rooms are cold so make sure you have warm clothes — the staff gave us extra blankets when we needed them and were super helpful. Best spot in this area to stay.

Really amazing staff — they made us feel so comfortable and we got to learn so much about their culture in Sri Lanka. It felt like we were a family, especially with the free dinners included.
