It’s good place to stay for long term or short term. Staffs are nice and friendly. They have tea and coffee in the morning and in the afternoon. Besides, they have refrigerator and microwave if you want to store some food or cook some simple food by your self.

Nice hostel. Friendly and helpful staff
I was originally down the road at another place but decided to come here to meet more people - sadly this time of year (mid March) isn’t the busiest of places. Other than that the staff, hostel and everything was good. Only issue is WiFi was pretty poor, especially in the common areas downstairs which meant people stuck to their room where WiFi seemed to work better. Beds had storage that’s lock-able (bring your own lock) and a in bed tray table that’s also lockable (though could easily be pulled open).

Hadde et veldig fint opphold på My Little Island. Absolutt en av de bedre hostellopplevelsene vi har hatt. Hyggelige ansatte, god (men enkel) frokost, fin beliggenhet og veldig rent!

Melhor hostel de todo o Sri Lanka
O My Little Island Hostel é, sem dúvida, o melhor local que ficamos durante nosso 1 mês viajando por todo o Sri Lanka (nos hospedamos em 10 cidades do país). As instalações são super novas, limpas e bem conservadas. Ótimo café da manhã incluído com ovos, torradas, frutas, suco, café e chá. Os quartos tem ar condicionado, cortina, luz e tomadas individuais em cada cama e até uma mesinha para apoiar laptop. O quarto é super seguro e tem uma senha que é necessário digitar para adentrar cada um. Eles também fornecem toalha e os lençóis são brancos e cheirosos (mega diferencial no Sri Lanka rs). Tem uma boa cozinha compartilhada em cada andar bem como banheiros femininos e masculinos também em cada piso além de banheiros complementares dentro dos quartos. Os chuveiros são de primeira e com água quente! Tem um shopping em frente com várias opções para refeição. Recomendamos muito a estadia no My Little Island!
