Hornbill Holiday Home Reviews

Easy walking distance from train station but limited amenitied nearby.

Location of the hostel is good. Near to railway station & the bus stand. Room facilities are good. However the service was non existent & the rooms aren't cleaned daily. Rooms are too dull & additional lighting will help.

It's a little out of the way, but it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Like many places, it was difficult to get any hot water from the shower.

This place was difficult to find and the taxi driver couldn't even finding after asking several people.

Dearth of cleanliness, bedbugs in bed along with insects of all kinds,

Nice place, near to the railway station, kind staff, everything was fine

This small hostel has about 4 lovely rooms around a central seating/tv area and kitchen. Only 5 minute walk to Dehiwala train station (or 2 minutes if you walk down the road and across the train tracks)

Good access for the train station and beach restaurants.

Location: 4 mins walk from all 3 of: Dehiwala railway station, the high street & the beach. Buses available continuously on high st. Trains & buses dirt cheap. Beach is scenic with small fishing boats & restaurants. Securely tucked away in a quiet back street behind a secure steel fence. Hotel: Below is their office, but they just leave you to get on with your stay. A group of young guests were causing a problem, so I reported it to the manager who quickly dealt with it. Happy days.

The hostel is small and clean located near the beach and mt Lavinia, the train station is close by and it is easy to catch a train into the city. We enjoyed staying out of the main city and by the beach as it is much quieter. The hostel was very tidy and offered good value for money.

Nice rooms with a big shared living room and a big but not well equipped kitchen. The house is close to a train station and a bus station so that it's easy to get downtown. Lots of restaurants around. All in all a good place to start discovering Colombo.

it's basically a homestay. had power trip issues during the one night there, otherwise a very good budget accomodation choice.

This place really good and we enjoyed our stay throughout. Though mosquitoes is an issue, I dont think it was very bad. The support and the room service is really bad. Hopefully the hotel managers will look into this. Though the atmosphere, rooms and cleanliness is good, helpful and good support staff would have made the stay better. We hardly saw anyone for two days. Its definitely good value for money and travellers will enjoy the stay...

Very cosy and comfortable place...Good value for money! Some food arrangement would have made things easier....

Nice and clean. Good to be out of the city and next to the beach....just have to walk through some peoples homes.

I was shocked at how nice the rooms and showers were. It was a dream come true after a long day of travel. It took a long time to get there from the airport, we took buses. We got off the bus in the dark at 11:40 but found the place thanks to the map they sent. Just walk downhill towards railway station, make a right before the bank. Coming back to this place again when I return to Colombo.

This place was ok. Location kind of sucked, but it was close to a train station, and tuk tuks are cheap so not hard to get anywhere. The room was very clean, if you were gonna be there a while, the common room was great. No hot water. Staff was ok.
