    I chose this hotel for attending a town hall meeting as it is located in the business district. The hotel provided all the necessary facilities and I had a pleasant experience during my stay.

    The only service I missed for my work was a dedicated business center with printing and scanning facilities.

    The facilities provided were excellent, including comfortable beds, clean rooms, and a helpful staff who made my stay hassle-free. The hotel also had good Wi-Fi connectivity, which was essential for my work.

    The only service that I missed for my work was a dedicated business center or meeting room. It would have been convenient to have a designated space for important meetings and presentations.

    The room we stayed in was absolutely amazing! It had a beautiful balcony where we could enjoy our morning coffee and soak in the scenic views. The seating area inside the room was cozy and perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. We also loved the electric kettle provided, it made it so convenient to have hot beverages whenever we wanted.

    Honestly, I didn't really care for the shared bathroom with a bidet. It's just a personal preference and I understand others might appreciate it.

    The atmosphere at this hostel was great, creating a welcoming and social vibe. The staff provided helpful tips for exploring the area and were always available to assist with any issues. The daily breakfast was delicious and varied. They even had a small workout area with yoga mats. The hostel had a good laundry service and convenient parking space. Additionally, the bed was comfortable and the location was in a nice suburban area. I would highly recommend this exceptional hostel for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

    The location was excellent, with easy access to the city center, public transportation, and delicious dining options. The pool was clean and a good size, providing a refreshing spot to relax. Additionally, the staff were friendly and helpful, offering valuable advice on the local area and transportation options.

    The water pressure in the showers was quite low, which made for a less-than-ideal shower experience. Additionally, there were some cleanliness issues, particularly in the kitchen, and the hostel itself appeared a bit run down and attracted flies.

    I chose this hotel for attending a council in the business district, and it was a wise choice. The facilities were well-maintained and the staff were courteous and helpful. The location was convenient, with easy access to supermarkets and a short ride to Colombo. I particularly enjoyed the community evenings and the refreshing pool after a long day of work.

    The only service that I missed for my work was a dedicated business center. It would have been helpful to have a designated space with computers and printing facilities to facilitate my work-related tasks.

    My stay at Seconds was amazing! The rooms and house were clean and spacious, and the facilities were numerous. Seyan, the wonderful host, helped me with a loose itinerary for my trip and made me feel right at home. The calm atmosphere in Colombo was exactly what I needed.

    There was nothing I didn't like. 😊

    The hostel has a super cool setup with an open and spacious layout, a pool and lots of balconies to relax on. The staff is incredibly friendly, even buying us dinner for free. They provide helpful information before your visit and make a delicious breakfast every morning. The location is convenient with nearby cafes and shops, and it's a short tuk tuk ride to the city centre. The host, Seyan, is a fantastic host who goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms have GREAT air conditioning, comfortable beds, and the bathrooms are regularly cleaned. The property also has a small workout area and offers a laundry service. The overall atmosphere and vibes are welcoming and social. The staff provides tips for exploring the entire island and helps with any issues you may have. a mind-blowing family hostel experience.
