Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The guest services were exceptional, with every staff member demonstrating a commitment to providing the highest level of hospitality. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of Mr. Sanke, the front office manager, and Mr. Mahinda, the restaurant manager, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Additionally, the water sports activities offered by the hotel were both enjoyable and reasonably priced, with a strong emphasis on safety.

    Every thing was perfect. Excellent hospitality by the owner. Very cooperative and helpful. The rooms are fabulous very comfortable with what ever you expect is available. The breakfast and dinner are very delicious with suitable value of money. Sure I highly recommend this hostel. The view on the river giving extra value and enjoyment. The owner offer free pick up by the boat to the beach. This hotel is perfect.

    The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff are out of this world. I instantly felt at home away from home. The food was unbelievable and very generous portions. The staff assisted me getting cheaper than half price tours that I was offered by tour guides in the local area. They arranged my tours and took me on their tuktuk to the tour guides directly. I felt extremely safe and valued here I would recommend anybody to stay you won’t regret it.

    Seems to be a great hotel in past, but not now however some renovation going on. Most of the fittings and amenities are either broken or heavily worn out or not upto standard, maybe the reason for this super small price tag. But the staff playing a good role to make the stay comfortable. Great location, Good staff. Good value for the super cheap price they offered.

    This place is amazing. It's extremely clean, feels like home and in a great location. This place is ideal for relaxing as the beach is 2 min away and to access the beach you cross the train track which super safe and awesome.
