    The hostel is always full and a very nice place to network with people and socialize. The staff and everyone were really nice, the place was beautiful and very big. This could be the best hostel in Nuwerliya.

    Such a great hostel! Very social. Have a nightly family dinner at a fair price / good priced drinks / bonfire, weather permitting. It was so easy to meet people and the owners were very nice. Also love that there's free water refills.
