Great service”
Great stay, we got to check in after midnight as our flight was delayed and rooms are private, clean and quiet. Staff were lovely arranged a taxi for us, showed us the best way to get around and even offered to look after my suitcase for me until we come back in a couple of weeks! Recommended!

Excellent for the price”
Some people rate poorly this hotel but this is a very decent accommodation for this price ($14 approx for a double room). The staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms and bathrooms are clean, there is good AC in the rooms and warm water in the shower. I don't think anyone paying 14 bucks should expect anything more for this price. Thanks again for a very nice stay!

Friendly staff. Good location. Just essentials”
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Free breakfast is available for one hour only between 8:30-9:30am which we missed because we overslept. Room is very basic but, clean. Shared bathrooms are a bit rundown but clean. Close to many attractions in colombo with good places to eat nearby. Would recommend if you are in colombo for a day or two only.

No window and humid”
We arrived at 9pm, nothing was opened in this neighborhood to eat something. The WiFi didn't really work and the partition walls are so thin that you hear everything from the other rooms. There was AC but the humidity was very high and room really simple, without nice atmosphere. For this price you expect at least to have a private bathroom and good WiFi. At morning they say they have srilankan breakfast but we were disappointed having some usual toasts with jam and tea. Not a bad experience but for that price we expected better.

3 min from Kolpitiya? rail st.”
I think SriLankan rail is the easyest national rail for Englsh- only travellers in Asian nations. (While Thai is most friendly with it`s public bus) Enjoy!!

Super friendly staff, new and clean rooms”
Backpack Lanka was the best place to start our trip in Sri Lanka. Both owner and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was exactly right: closet, ac, big two persons bed and a big plus: a shared fridge to keep all my fruit fresh:). The shared bathrooms were also kept clean and always free. Great atmosphere with lots of fellow travelers.

Nice backpacker hotel”
Super hotel, room very simple but ok for the price. Not really close to the city center. Small problem like no light in the shower, or only 1 shower with hot water. Staff VERY friendly and HELPFUL, helped me to organize my trip, about buses and trains. Traditional breakfast very good, shared with others clients! I recommend this place for backpackers!

At the heart of the city”
Best Location near by Galle face road , 2 to 3 Km walking distance to Galle Face green where all luxury hotels and colombo crowd gathers at evening for street food on the sea shore and Dutch Hospital now turned to restaurant . Staff is really friendly . Beira Lake is accessible by Tuk Tuk .Highly recommend for budget travellers like Back Packers. Breakfast is really cool .They prepare Sri Lankan String Hoppers with CocoNut curry, Hoppers etc.
