Very quiet hostel. Good location and very nice and helpful staff.

My first impression was very bad, there is no reception, it's very unclean and facilities are dirty. Like ghost town. But the owner brought clean sheets, and lucky for me there were 2 other guys so it didn't feel so scary, otherwise I would cancel my stay. But if you are travelling in pair or group, this is perfect hostel for very cheap money!

It was very, very cheap, and the view from the terrace is nice. And I liked the guys I met in the hostel. Without them my stay would be totally scary, because hostel seems like nobody was there for ages. If owner put just a little bit effort in maintaining the hostel, it could give very charming and sweet atmosphere.

Needs upgradation and cleaning of cobwebs all around hostel. No separate sockets for each bunk bed

Location was 15min walk from kandy lake and temple of tooth

Ok, i heard its bad but didn't expect this. I was alone in a male dorm - which is almost unlocked from a street. No interet? Just some cleaning (lot of spider webs and dust everywhere), buyng basic kitchen equipment and better managment and this place would be not as bad. Manager present only after a call.

Restaurant next door. 3$ value.

It wasn't actually clean, there was just 1 unpractically located power outlet, a little noisy.

It was cheap, there was a nice little food place right next to it, close enough to the center to walk everything.

Very simple place. If you care about the price this is the best place for you.

Stayed in January 2022

There should be more cleaning, on the floors and bathrooms definetely. The host could have better communication as the rooms we booked were already taken on site.

This place was incredibly cheap. You can't expect much for this price. It was decent enough to stay there for a night.

More power points in the room for charging would be nice.

I really liked the host. He had good communication, was very genuine and nice. If you are a well travelled backpacker, you will find this hostel great value for money.

everything is mentioned on the website. you can’t expect much. just would like to say there is no privacy in the hall.

it’s good for a one day stay. if you are just looking for a place to sleep, then this is the exact place for you. saves money too.

Very very basic, but if you are just looking for a bed to sleep, it's perfect. It's what you can expect for the price. Super friendly owner!

You will be asked to pay more than double you see on booking. I spent 300 rupees to get here from train station only to meet an old scammer guy tell me the price has gone up and i need to pay more. It is still cheap but i wasn't happy about him trying to fool me and steal from me when i met a lot of honest people that didn't have much. His son told me his father didn't know the price but from other reviews i can see that the father enjoys scamming people. Waiting for my flight back at the airport i realized he is the only bad person i met in my two month stay.

Stayed in February 2024

No safety at all No privacy Need more maintenance and cleaning

Fair value for the price, flexibility of the owners

The place was dirty and felt like nobody was there and the location not really near from the center

I recently had a disappointing experience with Central City Hostel, and I feel compelled to share my feedback to help others make informed decisions. I booked a Central City hostel for my journey, only to encounter significant issues on the day of my arrival. Despite making all the necessary arrangements, I received a call asking me to cancel my reservation. This unexpected request, especially mid-journey, left me frustrated and inconvenienced. This is the second time such an incident has occurred, and I find it unacceptable. If the hostel is not prepared to honour confirmed bookings, it raises questions about the reliability of their services. Why open for bookings if they are likely to ask for cancellations later? I strongly discourage others from choosing Central City Hostel for a peaceful journey. This establishment appears to be more of a showcase, attempting to appear as the lowest-price option without delivering on its commitments. I urge Booking.com to take appropriate action against this deceptive establishment to prevent others from facing similar disappointments.

Nice hostel. Large area, spacious. There are storage boxes, hot water and kettle 😄. Good location, to the left of the hostel there is a local store (50 meters) where you can buy breakfast rolls. On the right there is a store (100 meters) where you can buy fruits. The host helped us with various questions.

All good

We stayed in the hostel in low season and it looked a bit abandoned. I think if you come here in high season it would be fine

Good location, it was spacious, we lived in the whole hostel for three of us. The host was very friendly and was willing to help us with everything.

the hotel managements are rude.they give my room to another person when i did go to the hotel.. so poor

nothing

Stayed in May 2023

The place is a literal dump. None of the doors(the front doors are just fences so it’s bugs galore)lock so literally anyone can stroll in at any time. The shared beds are just in the middle of the main room, which is fine for the price but you’ll be eaten by bugs.One of the showers had a stream of ants from top to bottom, not to mention the endless cob webs.no wifi. I left a day early, on booking there is another hostel for the same price which has free wifi, lockable doors and is clean. Go there!

Nothing about the actual property besides it’s location was good. The only thing that slightly made up for it was the owner who was really pleasant and friendly.
