Nice friendly hostel in Hiriketiya, easy walk down to the beach and around the shops! Dorm bed to toilet ratio could be better but as it was quiet it didn’t bother us. Helpful staff and nice social area with pool table!!

This property had lots of pros such as good chill out areas, lots of showers and spacious dorms with curtains, the only negative was the kitchen which wasnt functionable, with no gas and it didnt look very clean but other than that we had a great stay with it being so close to everything you would need along with the staff being very helpful!
