CityRest Fort, hotel in Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte

Offering free Wi-Fi in all areas, CityRest Fort is a hostel located in the centre of Colombo. It offers different room types, including dormitories and private rooms.

We stayed in a private room, it did not have a window which meant a dark room for sleeping 👍🏼 the bed was very comfortable, the staff were really pleasant, responded promptly to messages and also made a good suggestion for a morning feed.

    Nice big house converted into hostel. Aircon was great. Beds were really comfortable. The bathroom was nice and big and clean. The staff were really friendly. Could use the kitchen to cook up a good feed. Pretty easy to get too using buses or tuk tuk from the centre of Colombo.

    Great location and excellent 2 x 2 fully furnished apartment for a family of 4. The 6 nights stay was just as what we've expected and we felt we were in our own home. Apartment was close proximity to all amenities with various food outlets and an adjacent Cargill's supermarket for your essentials.

    The bed was extremely comfortable and the place was spacious and clean, with the vintage aesthetics it did feel homely. Having free wifi with the calm environment, helped me to shoot few emails too. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Colombo.
