女性専用の部屋だったので、安心して夜を過ごせました。部屋やシャワールームも小綺麗で、ちゃんとお湯もでます。夜コロンボへ到着して朝出る予定だった為、寝るだけの部屋としては値段以上の価値がありました。ドアマン的な人が日本語が出来る方だったののでビックリしました。
このホテルは交通の便も良く徒歩圏内にお店もいっぱいあります。とりあえず寝てシャワーを浴びれれば良いという人にはとても良いホテルだと思います。

Love the place. Although it is a hostel, it felt more like a hotel. Was given a large family room, with a private bathroom which was perfect for my wife and 2 kids. The location is very convenient. Walking distance to 3 major attractions in Colombo. The only drawback There are no places to eat in the area.

Nice but no privacy
Very nice hostel overall but they could definitely benefit from some type of curtains on the beds since you get absolutely no privacy and the rooms are mixed men and women. The bathroom is not nearly big enough and has no shelves or hooks to bring your stuff there to change clothes etc

Amazing !
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 👌👌👏👏😊

フォート地区にあるホステル（ホテル）。4人部屋のドミトリールームに３泊しました。清潔感のあるホステルで、スタッフは親切。日本語の話せるスタッフもいました。日本人客の姿もちらほらと見かけました。ホテルに入るとエアコンが効いていて、外とは違って涼しく快適に過ごすことができました。周辺は本来は賑やかなエリアだと思いますが、経済が破綻した影響なのか、閉まっているお店が多いように感じました。いずれにしても快適に過ごすことのできる、良いホステルだと思いました。
