Rooms & rates
Every dorm bed is the same price, whichever room it is in. There are private rooms as well, in the building next door.
None of that is an add-on and none of it has a tier. It is the same for the twenty-sixth bed as for the first.
Six rooms, but only three things to decide between. They are the same price because they are the same offer. What differs is how many people are in the room, and who.
Four beds, women only, and there are three of these rooms — twelve of the twenty-six beds on the property are in a women-only room. Same terrace, same breakfast, same price as everyone else in the building.
Four beds, any gender, and there are two of these. The smaller of the mixed rooms, and the one to ask for if you are travelling as a pair or a three and would rather not be split up.
Six beds, any gender. There is one of these and it is the biggest room on the property, which also makes it the one where you meet the most people.
Tiled wet rooms with rain showers. Here are three of them, photographed by the owner in the three kinds of dorm, because it is the room people are actually worried about and nobody shows it.
Every dorm has its own, and nobody from another room uses it. Each of the three below belongs to the room it was photographed in. The six-bed dorm’s opens straight off the room, and you can see its doorway in the photograph of that room further up this page.
Every room and dorm has hot and cold showers.
Which means the queue you are picturing — the one at the end of a corridor, at eight in the morning, shared by twenty-six people — is not the queue here. It is three or five other people, and they are in bed next to you.
The building next door is all private rooms: four doubles and one apartment. This page used to say we had none, which was wrong, and we would rather correct that in public than quietly.
Each private room has its own private bathroom, with hot and cold showers.
What we are not going to do is describe them from memory. There are no photographs of them on this site yet and we are not quoting a price until there are — a room you cannot see, priced by someone who has not measured it, is exactly the kind of thing this site was rebuilt to stop doing.
So: if a door that locks behind you is what you want, ask. We will tell you what is free, what it costs, and send you pictures of the actual room.
Breakfast is included with every bed. It happens in the rooftop café between 8:00 and 11:00. Family dinner is on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; it is LKR 1,650 per person and you need to tell us by 2:00 PM on the day. Drinking water is free from the dispenser, all day.
No calendar on this page — but there is always a way to book. Nothing here takes a card or confirms itself. You send us your dates, a person answers, and if a bed is free you can have it. There is more about how that works on the booking page.
No spa. Yoga, if you ask for it. Some booking sites list a spa against our name and we do not have one. Yoga is a different matter: it has run here in past years, there are mats, and if you want to practise we will help you arrange somewhere to do it. Nothing is scheduled, so ask.
Six rooms, three kinds. Tell us your dates and we will tell you which of them has room — and if you would rather have a door that locks, ask about the private rooms instead.
LKR 7,500Per dorm bed, per night, in all six dorms. Breakfast, linen and a towel are in the number.
