Great hostel with an amazing manager!

We had the most brilliant stay here, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. For a hostel, it was more like a home stay, and Kris the manager is simply amazing! He cooked us the most awesome Sri Lankan breakfasts, helped us plan our trips, helped us get transport around, ordered food for us, helped us with any questions we had and anything he could possibly have done, he would have! He was always st the end of the phone if we had a problem and he helped us organise several trips all around Sri Lanka with a TukTuk driver who didn't speak much English. He socialised with us and told us everything we could ever need to know about his beautiful country, that he's clearly very proud of. At the end of the day it's a hostel, so facilites are minimal but everything was clean and well cared for, and we really enjoyed our time here. We will be back soon!
