Terrible experience, avoid! The host shouted at me, and I couldn't leave the room because there was nowhere to securely lock my items in a shared room. Therefore I was stuck in the room waiting for my flight, unable to get help from the staff as the host had shouted at me when I asked about air conditioning (there's no air conditioning in shared rooms, contrary to what the listing says when you book it.)

This hostel was just what we needed in fact I wouldn’t call it a hostel more like a hotel. Facilities were amazing the owner was so nice and friendly and took us to the airport at 4am. As a female traveler who has had creepy experiences in Colombo this is just what I needed!!
