Arranged airport pick~up but the driver was holding a different name so couldn't find him initially. Bed was comfortable but being situated next to the door, I was frequently woken up by people opening and shutting the creaky door. The bathroom was a bit dirty and all toilets were wet as they doubled as shower stalls. Hotel staff were super friendly and very helpful while the location was the best for catching an early train from Colombo Fort train station.

Nice budget alternative
I stayed in a premium capsule for two nights. It was nice and clean and the room had a perfect air conditioner. Also the service was good. This is a good budget alternative and the capsule concept will only get problematic if your roommates snore or can’t keep quiet during the night.

스타아니스부티크캡슐 후기
개별블라인드가 있는 도미토리는 찾기 힘들어서 여기 숙박했어요. 콜롬보포트역에서 툭툭으로 100루피 줬구요 주변에 먹을만한 식당이 없어서 미리 기차역에서 사드시거나 사가시면 좋을꺼 같아요. 숙소 깔끔하고 컨디션 좋았어요!

Superställe för nån enstaka övernattning. Påväg till/från flygplats eller för vidare resa i landet. Rent, säkert och väldigt hjälpsam personal. Sköna sängar och och väldigt tyst trots att många bor i samma rum. Sov mig igenom hela natten och jag är lättväckt.

Excellent stay. But note that there is noise from downstairs where a bar is located. So it might not be good for light sleepers.

Cool little spot with everything you need
Great for a quick stopover in Colombo. Thought it would be closer to the train station than it was but short rickshaw ride away. Capsules were comfortable, breakfast was okay, good info/service available from staff.

Clean, comfortable, capsule hotel stay.
Brief stay - really just to be close to Fort railway station for an early-morning train - but impressive capsule hostel at this price point, with clean and proper bedding. Beds are robustly built, so that others moving in their capsules don't creak too much, and there is plenty of space within the pod. Would happily stay again. Helpful staff host.

Nice place to stay for a night
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The whole room which has a capacity of 20 people max had only 1 floor stand hanger that could only hang several clothes and was fully occupied by other residents.

El hotel es excelente, muy buena ubicacion y las camas son muy cómodas. Ideal pars viajeros en solitario. Llegue a las 8am al hotel y me cobraron 10€ por early check in, cuando por noche pagaba 13€. Un precio absolutamente alto. Además a las 11 me despertaron para hacer la habitación. Muy mal servicio en este caso. Deberían cobrar un precio razonable.
