    The bed was really comfortable, the location was really good and it was the only good shower I had in Sri Lanka. The staff was really helpful in planing activities, tours and transportation.

    Not much sound proofing from the social area or other rooms. Front door has to be unlocked every time you want to come in but that does add a level of security. Prices for tours and drop off at station are a bit too much.

    Clean with comfortable beds and big lockers. Staff are friendly and the accommodation is in a central location.

    the heavy raindrops on the rooftop were quite loud, which might bother light sleepers.

    Cozy hostel with a spacious common area and the best showers in Nuwara Eliya. Loved the cute chimney that kept the space warm. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. Location is quite central, close to restaurants. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time so I didn’t explore much.

    The owner and staff were so so kind and helpful. I got food poisoning on a hike and they let me stay and extra night to recover. The owner delayed his trip so he could check if I was ok and his brother who is a doctor came to see me and got me prescriptions to recover. They were so generous with they time and care. Fantastic people!

    The rooms are very clean the showers are fantastic and the internet was great! Great hiking in the area on the pekoe trail. The owner of the hostel is so considerate! I got food poisoning on a hike in nuwara eliya and the staff and owner did everything they could to help me! They let me stay longer to recover and the owner asked his brother who was a doctor to come and see me. They helped me get medication and ensured I had a safe place to rest. Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to meet you all!

    There was nothing I didn't like. It was perfect.

    This was PERFECT. Honestly the best hostel I stayed at since I arrived in Sri Lanka three weeks ago. It’s all new, all very clean. Beds are incredibly comfortable (real mattress, real bedsheets). Lockers in the rooms large enough to put a big backpack. Hot water in the showers and really good pressure. The staff are all very nice, available and accommodating. Wifi is good and it’s in the city-center, 2min walk from the bus station. Just go for it.

    Everything was perfect.

    The room was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The common area has a lot of space, and good place to work and quick wifi, and also to chill and relax. Everything very clean, and the staff were always there to help you woth everything they could, and so nice and lovely. The toilets were for female and male, and outside the room, very clean, and and excellent shower. Really recommend it, and I would come back for sure.
