Alma Boutique Hostel - Colombo

Staff is really helpful, location is stunning, very well furnished and very quiet and really close to a main avenue at the same time. The only female room was very spacious.

The bathroom could be cleaner, but it was ok

Good location Clean and bright - lovely outdoor space Great evening meal - Sri Lankan curry Good communication from staff Have been able to leave a big bag to travel lighter around Sri Lanka :)

Hostel looks like the photos. Comfortable dorm room, clean and quiet with big lockers. The staff on reception was very helpful and welcoming. He gave some valuable info on bus options that weren't listed online. Chill vibes in June. Location is decent, with cafes, restaurants (though expensive), supermarkets and banks within a ten minute walk. Pickme works in this area. Free drinking water and towel. Wifi was working in the dorm.

The bathrooms are located on the ground floor, outside. While there are plenty of toilets and showers, cleanliness standard was lower than other high rated hostels. Should be cleaned more regularly and toilet paper should be checked and refilled. The only other suggestion is to put a towel rack or holder next to the bed, otherwise there is nowhere to dry the towel.

Centrally Located

No one available to the front desk/reception. We had to wait for 40 mins to speak to someone and they lack basic communication skills. Sink was clogged and the staff did help, even though we informed.
