"It's a quiet place in the vicinity of liberty plaza and Gangaramaya in Colombo. In the beginning was having doubts till I went in and spoke to the owner. Friendly and Helpful staff. Comfortable dorms and with Bunk beds. For the price can't complain at all. Overall I'm happy. Not disable friendly. Definitely recommend."

C1 Colombo Fort - Hostel
2.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (141)
"Súper location close to Colombo Fort train Station. I arrive at 1 am and the staff was waiting for me. The building seemed to be new and the entrance and inside decor is so nice that I was not sure if I was in the right pleca. The room has 4 bed, very comfortable mattress and cool A.C. So far I am very impressed. I don’t know the name of the man in charge of the night shift, but he was very attentive and gave a tour of the place and answer all my questions about the location. 7 stars 👌👌👏👏😊"

Thambili Island at Stubbs - Hostel
2.0 star property
6.0 out of 10, (11)
"I showed up and they told me I hadn’t booked. I showed them my hotels.com confirmation email and receipt. They said they never received the payment even though I had the receipt. They then made me pay for a full room which ended up costing more than what the room I booked online was. I also had bed bugs bite my legs during the stay. "

CityRest Fort - Hostel
2.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (101)
"The hostel is in a great location, close to the train station and lots of great places to eat nearby. But that's the only strong point. Everything else is average at best. The place needs renovation, WiFi doesn't work, cleaning in the shared bathrooms could be improved. But the location is great. So if you are looking for 1 night near the station - this would do."
