Had all we needed for a comfortable stay and people were absolutely amazing and friendly. The social host that was visiting every night was the highlight, he engaged everyone together, played games and made us feel all as one family.

Amazing staff. They are so nice people, both at the hostel and the restaurant. I think they deserve a much higher rate. I did not miss anything. Nice restrooms, wifi, staff, shower drains good with hot water and food from the restaurant. I will chose this if I go back to Colombo

New stylish high-end hotel (open since April 2025) with many rooms and a 24/7 reception. The rooms are very comfy, well equipped and offer you much space. They are highly cleaned and make you feel very welcome. The centre of Colombo is a 15-20 minutes TukTuk away, so the location is nice, too. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even organized a late night taxi to the airport for us. I highly recommend this place.

Colombo downtown monkey is centrally located in the heart of Colombo just a short 5-minute walk from you Colombo’s main Railway and Bus Station. Guests can also check-out the peaceful Beira Lake.

All the staff are so friendly and smiley! Neela is really helpful as well. Was lovely to chat with her. I’m sorry but I don’t know the other staff names but they were all so friendly. The location is perfect for the Fort train station or bus station. 5 mins walk. It’s also near the Dutch hospital and clock tower lighthouse and a short walk from the Old Parliament building and the green where all the Sri Lankans chill out in the early evening and eat and watch the sunset. Eat at Nanas if you can. It’s along the green about halfway down where there are a row of food traders. Fabulous food and great to watch the world go by. The shower in our room could have been stronger but that’s nothing really. I didn’t stop for breakfast as I had to get the early train to Kandy but the other people I talked to said it was great. One thing: Don’t fret about when you first get there, the bottom car park has quite a bit of rubbish and bricks etc but it is shared by lots of buildings in the area. Don’t let it out you off. It’s a very safe area. Go up the stairs at the back and the hostel is on the second floor on the left. Enjoy! I had a great stay there.

Offering free Wi-Fi in all areas, CityRest Fort is a hostel located in the centre of Colombo. It offers different room types, including dormitories and private rooms.

Our host Malitha was so helpful, he stayed in communication with us whilst our flight was diverted and we ended up in Sri Lanka later than expected, he gave us so many tips and recommendations for Sri Lanka and showed us on the map good places to go for our back packing trip. He gave us great advice about transportation as well and helped with our PickMe driver when they couldn’t find the hostel. Malitha made our stay exceptional! Location was good, short walk to some restaurants and cafes, also a shopping centre in front of the hostel. The room was basic but clean and slept all night with ear plugs, also air con which is lovely! Thank you for all your help Malitha :)
