Hangtime Hostel

Really love this place. Great food reasonably priced with great staff and a lovely view over the sea. A really chilled atmosphere with like minded chilled hippy surf people .and there's a nice little clothes shop to just in case you need to take something home.

Really recommend hang time hostel for food. It was delicious, the chips are the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far! The menu is really extensive and lots of options for all types of eaters! The set up and design/decor of the whole place is like something I’ve never seen before, so creative and really cool.

Here is only one positive thing about this hostel is rooftop restaurant and amazing guys and ladies who work there. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND TO BOOK THIS HOSTEL. And you don’t have to be the hostel’s guest to be able to visit this cool rooftop. Everyone is welcome. I had a private room which was located on first (=ground floor). The day light didn’t come through that made my stay really depressive and dark all the time. Meanwhile, the dorms are on a second floor and even with the ocean view. A lot of mosquitos coming from everywhere. Loud because of being so close to the main road and people walking through the garden. Also, there was some noise from outside of bathroom side. Terrible. I picked the room with the bed-boat, and I feel I was wrong. It’s not really worth to sleep in the boat and it makes you take some stairs to get in. Stuff… they wouldn’t help you with your luggage. Don’t expect this. At the night, there is no receptionist, and only security guy has been sleeping all the time. The worst thing I’ve got three times power outage. And it used to happen around 10pm when all stuff has already gone, and the security guy couldn’t speak english at least to explain us when it would get back. The hotel-neighbor right next to this one had power with no problem by the way. It was good to know AT THE END OF MY STAY that if I wanted to have my room cleaned I had to bring the key to the reception. Nobody told me that at my check in time. Poor customer service.

Great hostel !! Positioned opposite the beach it is ideal location. Rooms were clean comfy and air conned. Also supplied with mosquito nets !! Staff were friendly and helpful. The cafe/restaurant on top floor is outstanding. Amazing breakfast lunch and dinner for a great price with a view of the coast. Highly recommend !!

After checking in, I couldn't stay here. Air con not working. Room smelled. Bed not double bed size. Strong animal poo smell outside. Animal poo on the path way. @ check-in tried to charge us extra. Restaurant overpriced.

Excellent staff, rooms with good beds space and a perfect rooftop for having breakfast looking at the bay. I stayed there 2 nights and I forgot all my passports and money and they kept them safe for me! 100% would recommend and come back.

Amazing time , great rooms and big beds!! Really close to food spots and surf places and the restaurant is amazing and cheap upstairs! We had the best sushi there and smoothies and lots of good breakfast options

Such nice rooms with good air con and such comfy beds! It’s the perfect location just opposite the beach! Couldn’t have enjoyed my stay more. The people were so lovely and the food is insane at the restaurant - get the sushi!
