Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great Location, Great View from the seaview rooms, Decent free sunbeds on the beach and clean beach towels provided, Breakfast was an added bonus, not western style but they happily made you great toast if you asked. and you had fresh fruit tea coffee juice as well as sri lankan breakfast offerings. Drinks also where slightly cheaper than the surrounding beach bars

    The hotel was lovely, and the staff was super friendly. They meet all your needs and are always happy to do so. The room was clean and beautifully made for our arrival. The location is great, as you can walk to the beach within seconds. It's a bit far from the centre but not a problem as you can walk or take a tuk-tuk, which is cheap and safe. Breakfast was good and the best in Sri Lanka we had.

    Right at the beach. You have your own space outside next to your room. The owner was very helpful. He called me to explain how to get there in the middle of the night. I was able to check in late. You can find cheaper options if you have low budget and planning to stay longer. But for this price it is quite decent place considering the fact it is right at the beach
