The Ritz of all hostels”
I am 60 and this was my first stay in a hostel since Damascus 2005. I was wondering if I wasn't WAY too old for a hostel. But there was really no reason at all to worry. First off, the lobby looked like that of a boutique hotel. Then I got an early check-in for free. The locker under my bed was huge and sturdy. It looked also brand new - a far cry from the battered lockers I remember from my younger years. That did wonders for my sleep. And the fact that no one in the room even whispered when someone was sleeping. I also had a hearty laugh with a Swedish girl over her huge backpack which was the largest specimen I'd ever seen! On my second stay I got a free printout of my five travel documents. I was also allowed to take home a book from their shelves in exchange for my smallish guidebook. The hostel is a stone's throw from the President's palace which made sure the hostel had an unprecedented police protection during the protests in April 2022 😉.

Exceptionally great experience!”
Great location, quite pleasant and clean rooms. However, this property is an exceptionally great place to stay because of its warm and friendly staff. They are pretty helpful and make their guests so comfortable. This will be my must-stay place on my next visit to Colombo. As a solo female traveler, I will recommend this place to my fellow women folks as we look for safety and security during our stay.

Great ho(s)tel in a great location”
Love this place - stayed here for 4 nights in May and 3 nights again in June. The beds and rooms are super comfortable (had the best sleeps here during my two months in Sri Lanka) and clean. The staff are amazing, helpful and super friendly.

Amazing hotel with an amazing staff. Great value for money”
C1 Fort was an excellent boutique hotel in the city. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing and comfortable. The hotel was a great price, it provided a clean room, with modern bathroom, the breakfast every morning was wonderful, WIFI was available throughout the hotel - and was very good service. The price of the rooms combined with the amazing staff made this one of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka. If you're looking for well priced options with new and modern rooms, bathrooms and facilities - i completely recommend C1 Fort.

Great hop in hop out”
This was my first dormitory experience. A group of friends and I had to take a very early bus in Fort so we decided to book C1 to wake up early and be on time. Very good decision! I even enjoy yo sleep in a bunk bed! The staff is super friendly and welcoming 🙏

Absolutely perfect !!”
I've been to many hostels in many countries bu this one is definitely in my top 3 : super clean, bed very confortable, great showers, excellent breakfast...and wonderful staff, lovely and super helpful (Zaky in particular but all of them are great). I don't know what more one could expect. And free coffee and tea, the green tea being the best I ever tried...

Beautiful and amazing value hostel in centre of town”
This hostel/hotel is fantastic value for money. The location is right in the centre of the fort, 10 minutes walk from the station and easy to get around. The design is very classic, chic and high quality. The lobby area is great for chilling and working, with many tables, sofas and plug outlets and free tea, coffee and water. The dorm room is good quality and the bed is comfy. Breakfast is fantastic and in a beautiful setting on the roof, plus the staff are so attentive and friendly! You really feel like you’re staying somewhere very expensive!

Best deal in best location”
Great hotel at the strategic point- near Colombo train and bus station very important for travelers. The people there are also very cooperative and helpful. Considering it's price level (less than $40) I think it's the best deal for budget travelers.
