CEYLON STAYZ

Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo

Attractively located in the Cinnamon Gardens district of Colombo, CEYLON STAYZ is situated 2.9 km from Galle Face Beach, 2.9 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station and 5.4 km from Khan Clock Tower. Boasting a shared lounge, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.8 km from Kollupitiya Beach, 2 km from Bambalapitiya Beach and less than 1 km from The Independence Square. Private parking is available on site. Everything is nice and clean, but what made the difference for me was the staff: I was sick when I got there and real felt bad. The host was lovely: He offered tea, gave me paracetamol and prepared warm salt water to gurgle. When I told him I can’t eat breakfast because I can’t swallow, he made me a fruit salad with banana and papaya instead. I told him how much I appreciated it and all he said was: “If you can do sth good, why not do it.” I felt very comfortable there, the hosts are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met!☺️

Wasn’t much “culture” but was great nonetheless
