    There was no ac, which is common for Sri Lanka, apparently. But to be honest, it wasn't necessary cause the weather wasn't that bad (might be different during peak season). No individual bed lights.

    It's right in front of the beach. You can hear the ocean all night long <3 + it's close to a grocery store, a lot of nice restaurants (they also have a good one), cafes, and massage places. It was super quiet cause the season was almost over. The staff was super sweet and helpful! A shout-out to Sampath that drove me to Mirissa and made of the journey a tour, telling me a lot of interest stuff about the region.

    The bike rental, laundry and food and drink was a lot more expensive than other places in the same area - we opted to rent a bike from a place a minute walk away and it was substantially cheaper.

    The room was huge and nice, the hostel was right on the beach and so we would wake up to seeing the sea which was amazing.

    They overbooked so put us next door in another hotel ran by family. The room was nice and everything was fine but it was not what we expected.

    Great spot right on the beach near all the best places to eat and drink.

    The Thursday live music nights might be a plus for some people. I was just not aware. The band was great, but after a super long day all I wanted is to sleep, and it was not possible until after 1AM. The “stage” is right below the dorms. The other nights were fine.

    With a view of the beach, a really comfortable option in Tangalle. The AC dorm is comfortable (I heard the fan dorm was too hot), the bed is great, there are no privacy curtains but every bed has mosquito net. The bathroom is spacious and okay. The restaurant offers a variety of options - though a little expensive, such as all the places along the shore. There are beach beds available, in the shade too. The bean bags and the hammocks on the terrace are a nice touch. I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean.

    The Room and the furniture was quite old and used. The shower was in the Room with a broken door. The Fan did its job but was far away so it still got really hot during the Night.

    Perfect Location Right in front of the beach. The rooms all have sea view, loved it. Mosquito net and Fan included. The staff was extraordinary. Super friendly and helped ha with everything, including organizing a tuktuk to Udawalawa. Rented a Scooter and did our Laundry with them, too.

    Could benefit of a WhatsApp group or else to be more sociable.

    Very nice hostel, close to the beach. The rooms are nice, clean and well organised for backpackers (big enough, one big locker with a key per person, mosquito net). Nice common area to relax. Close to good restaurants and bus can be caught nearby.

    The mattress was really uncomfortable. Be aware that the picture showing the hammock and stuff are not on the beach anymore but on the terrace.

    Great location, the hostel has plenty of space to chill. Sun bed available in the shades on the beach. Big room with king size bed. Helpful and friendly staff.

    We really liked it! Just take care, you can book rooms with or without A/C. Otherwise you need to pay onsite for the A/C.

    We stayed in one of the private rooms, they are very spacious and you have a nice outside area & a private bathroom which is very clean.

    There was no AC but the rooms had fans. Unfortunately they didn’t cool the room much at all and were really noisy so it was quite difficult to sleep due to the heat.

    gorgeous hostel right on the beach ! Dorms are clean and designed well and the bathrooms have 2 separate showers and toilet cubicles which is really useful for getting ready. The hostel has nice hang out areas with hammocks, beds and a cafe downstairs. Also has free sun beds for guests on the beach which is ideal! We only stayed one night but the staff were nice during that time, unfortunately there was no activity planned the night we were there (Friday) but most nights had a planned activity.

    Charging 120rs each time for a water bottle refill is a little odd.

    The property holds the prime location in the area right infront of the beach. Very easy to access the nearby swimming spots. The dorms are comfortable and the staff is friendly. The outdoor space with hammocks and seating facing the sea is the best part of the property.

    Note there are no hammocks like in the photos online. Restaurant down stairs is a little pricey but that’s normal for the area. Top bunks could use another fan as it can get quite warm at night.

    The location is amazing right near the beach with many restaurants and bars lining the water. A small supermarket is located a few minutes walk away which was very convenient. The staff are lovely and happy to help. Nice quiet location. Hot water system for the shower works well. Cleaned daily which is good. Good communal area.

    Compare to other locations, the prices for food and drinks are a bit too expensive (my personal feeling). Wifi on the upper floor is nearly not existing. Down on the base it's okay but not fast enough if you are planning to work online.

    Very welcoming and helpful Staff. Good location. Fair price for the room, straight on the beach.
