"Great value for money in a good location"

"Súper location close to Colombo Fort train Station. I arrive at 1 am and the staff was waiting for me. The building seemed to be new and the entrance and inside decor is so nice that I was not sure if I was in the right pleca. The room has 4 bed, very comfortable mattress and cool A.C. So far I am very impressed. I don’t know the name of the man in charge of the night shift, but he was very attentive and gave a tour of the place and answer all my questions about the location. 7 stars 👌👌👏👏😊"

"The hostel is in a great location, close to the train station and lots of great places to eat nearby. But that's the only strong point. Everything else is average at best. The place needs renovation, WiFi doesn't work, cleaning in the shared bathrooms could be improved. But the location is great. So if you are looking for 1 night near the station - this would do."

"I showed up and they told me I hadn’t booked. I showed them my hotels.com confirmation email and receipt. They said they never received the payment even though I had the receipt. They then made me pay for a full room which ended up costing more than what the room I booked online was. I also had bed bugs bite my legs during the stay. "

"The staff was super friendly. Very clean rooms and great facilities for a short stay."

"Not that kind of hostel what i was expected "

"Airport pickup was very convenient, especially as it was late. Manju was very welcoming and a great host. He gave us much information AND provided filtered water! So good. The shared meal was a wonderful idea."

"On a adoré notre séjour à Anam Hôtel ! On y a passé 10 jours. On a pu se reposer. L’hôtel se situe à quelques mètres de la plage, où on peut y voir des magnifiques coucher de soleil le soir. Le personnel de l’hôtel est juste super super gentil. Il y a une cuisine que l’on peut utiliser, mais aussi une machine à laver dont on peut se servir. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne regretterez rien."

"At the time of my booking, this hotel was not actually completed. I went to the address indicated, only to find that there's no sign or evidence of any hostel at all. I called the number provided on my booking, to find that it linked to a hotel under the same owner several miles away. While they honored my booking, I really would have expected a refund or more from them. "

"Sorry to Sato that but unluckily nothing written on the description is real. The airport pick up is not included, the place do not have any beach nearby, the room has not private toilet, just one shared with other guests. No mosquito net. Raven no blanket of any kind. Only good is that is nearby the airport. But then, if you are headed to Colombo no one is willing to drive you there. The indication was: take a bus! Not suggested place to stay. Maybe just for a sleepover if your fly is delade....

"The owner, Prasad, was so gracious and kind. Very much interested in getting to know me and making my stay as comfortable as possible. He clearly cares about his patrons."

"Staff are very helpful and accommodating willing to help"

"One of the worst hospitality service ever. Won't get a towel, bedsheet or toiletries. No cleanliness and smelly dusty rooms. No room service. Swimming pool with decayed leaves and house full of mosquitoes. Broken room locks and the bonus is you won't get water in toilet. Needless to say a poor management by owner and totally irresponsible behaviour. Please don't waste your money by looking at beautiful pics of the villa. Save your money for better stay. Even worst hotels will give better...

"The staff and management are excellent. The breakfast is outstanding. They have 24 hour rooms serving. The location is very central to most places in Colombo. The hotel is very safe. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious "

"Shangri-La has a name as the best hotel in Colombo among our friends and even with very high expectations they exceeded them! The rooms, room service, and staff were all excellent. We extended our stay by another week! Aslam was doing such a great job clearing and bringing us anything we needed. He was really sweet with our kids as well. Rusiru made my kids their favorite pancakes each morning and he was working really hard and constantly had fresh French toast, pancakes, and waffles out just in time for all the guests. He was very happy and kind! "
