It needs better and more responsible staff...needs a lot of work in the rooms and facilities. It's not an accommodation that i would expect on a hostelworld listing. The fans were dangerously low, the bathrooms were falling apart and the walls were quite dirty.

Looks nothing like the pictures, dark, roach infested, holes in the ceiling, obviously someone's home (and not in a good way), no towels, toilet paper or sheets (staff confused as to why we didn't bring our own). Nearly impossible to find. Not close to anything. You will wish you had slept in the airport.

The most convenient part of staying at this hostel, which is rather far from the city centre, is the fact that there is a bus stop down the street. We stayed in some beautiful guest houses in Sri Lanka for only five dollars more (CAD). We had to change rooms in our two-night stay because the bed in one room was so uncomfortable. Overall, we did not feel very welcomed by the staff, and were disappointed that there were no restaurant services offered.

The owner is very friendly and eager to help but the standard of the rooms lets this place down. We saw a couple of rooms, both were very scruffy with knackered beds and not as clean as hoped. The location is a bit hard to find but there is a handy shortcut to the main road - ask the owner.

Location far out however quite accessible with a public bus Would not recommend for sole travellers especially female as in a very dark residential area. Could be good but unfortunately it isn't! This place is filthy and I mean properly filthy. Pls think twice we are proper backpackers and have stayed in some real holes all over the world however this one is up there with the worst. If it cost $2 you wouldn't care but at this price you deserve so much more. Stay if its your only option.

Owner Comment (Show)
Colombo 5 is not far out this person has no idea about location, this is a high residential area with a 30 ft road way to property i dont understand what he means about dark? filthy is absolutely untrue, if he has stayed in holes around the world he should know better plz visit www.aaalanka.com for photos of the building and rooms, all rooms have queen size beds with clean linen and attached toilets i have nackpacked for many years and class my guest has very reasonable for the price.
