They gave me 300 rupia as discount. Room was clean and tidy, fan good, walls very thin, excellent location if you travel by bus or train. ##### Rita Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hannah Catherine 11 Mar 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel is in a great location, close to the train station and lots of great places to eat nearby. But that's the only strong point. Everything else is average at best. The place needs renovation, WiFi doesn't work, cleaning in the shared bathrooms could be improved. But the location is great. So if you are looking for 1 night near the station - this would do. ##### Hannah Catherine Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Erik 17 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities The uniqueness was the hotel location and the hotel had absolutely wonderful beds (mattresses.) However, it does not rate as a "4 star, in no way... The top rating would be a '1' star maximum.. I have traveled the globe worldwide (to 113 countries) so I do know what I'm talking about! Also, the hotel owner had cameras everywhere, almost like spying on the guests, which was most unpleasant, but the hotel staff, they were wonderful... ##### Erik Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mayumi 1 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Prison, solitary confinement. I booked a room with a shower toilet, but when I asked the hotel staff, they said they didn't have one and the shower and toilet were shared. The sheets were old and dirty, and the hotel was under renovation so it smelled like a construction site. The stairs were smelly and there were stains on the walls. I would be happy with half the price for this level. The room was completely different from what I booked, so I reported it to Expedia ##### Mayumi Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hideaki 11 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ロケーションもよく快適に滞在できた。部屋のドアの解錠(開け方)方法にコツがいるので、到着して最初に部屋に案内された時にスタッフの前で何回か解錠方法を練習した方がいい。シャワーブースのステンレス製石鹸トレーに鋭い部分があり肘に怪我をした。腕を上げるとちょうど肘が当たる部分なので気をつけて。 ##### Hideaki Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 30 Jan 2019 普通なホテルでしたよ。 周りに数軒の店もあったし、困ることはないかと思います。 共同部屋だったので、こんなもんですね。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### CHIE 29 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 清潔で過ごしやすい。 wifi環境もよく、清潔な部屋で過ごせて良かったです。少し場所が分かりにくいのでトゥクトゥクのおじさんも迷っていました。 ##### CHIE Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### ok! Location is good, near the main train station and bus terminal but tuk tuk driver said far and ask for 300Rs. Dorm room is relatively small for 4 persons with luggages. Have enough toilets and shower cubicles. Have a rooftop but nothing to see. Free breakfast. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Ethan 23 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Top-quality service The location is great if you want to be near Fort railway station. It is within walking distance to the beach as well. The service at check-in and check-out was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and quick. We had to check-out in the morning before breakfast was served, and the desk clerk had even arranged for box breakfasts to be ready for us. We have a 3 year old, so not having to worry about finding food that early in the morning was quite helpful. The only minor issue was that the bathroom looked a little past its prime. The shelf in the shower was rusty and it looked like the toilet had been repaired without properly cleaning up the adhesive. ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### P, Tokyo, JAPAN 27 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice location, good service and clean I stayed CityRest Fort only 6 hours to take a shower and short nap for catching a mid-night flight. I booked a bed in Shared 4 Beds Dormitory. I checked in at the front desk and went into the room... I noticed there was nobody in the room! The man at the front desk was nothing to tell me but he arranged a sort of private room for me! I was able to relax and rest very well. Thank you so, so much for your angement. I'll definitely come back to CityRest Fort when I come to Colombo next time. ##### P Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Saoufe12, Paris 18 May 2017 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### bon rapport qualité prix pour une nuit Hôtel bien placé, proche de la gare, idéal pour une rapide escale entre l'aéroport et le train pour partir explorer le sri lanka ! ##### Saoufe12 ### 8/10 Good #### Surya, 日本 8 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 駅から徒歩圏内の清潔なドミトリ コロンボフォート駅から徒歩圏内にあり、清潔な男女別ドミトリでこの値段はありがたい。飲食店も最寄にあり、たいへん便利です。泊まったのは2階建てベッドが2つあるドミトリで、下の方が便利という人も多いと思いますが、上り下りに支障のない人であれば、上でも快適でした。エアコンや天井扇の強度については、同室の人と話し合ってください。効きすぎると風邪を引きます。バス・トイレも清潔で使い勝手がよかったです。 ##### Surya ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### professionally run great location, close to bus or train station, walking distance or take a tuk tuk for 150, no more. staff is great and very helpful. lots of staff, even on every floor. not sure what people complain about the breakfast for?? probably one of the best breakfasts I'd had in any hostel, anywheres. wifi is very good, beds are comfy, AC works well, and towel included. It said locks were available for the locker but I had my own, so I'm not sure if you had to rent it or not. Only had hot water 2 out of 4 times, yet people had hot water the same day, so I guess it was luck of the draw. No windows in the rooms, which I prefer because it stops the traffic noise, and light from coming in. One guy was smoking in the room when I checked in so I'm not sure if this is allowed, or he was sneaking it ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### john 20 Mar 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel bien situé et staff accueillant mais chambre sans fenêtre avec une mauvaise odeur, chambre au 1er étage entre la cusine et la salle à manger donc bruyante.

The driver collected us from the airport which was a gread and even stopped at the train station for us. The check in was great and we were well greeted. ##### Pauline ### 8/10 Good #### VYK, Hong Kong 4 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best choice near the train station I stayed for only 5 hours as I arrived late and got a morning train to catch. Everything was clean - shower, room, bed, etc. Staff was superb and helpful! Unfortunately only cereal was provided for breakfast before 7am. The best choice near the train station! ##### VYK ### 8/10 Good #### やなちゃん, 東京、日本 19 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 従業員のホスピタリティーは文句なし！ 深夜1時のレイトチェックインでしたが、冷たいおしぼりとウエルカムドリンクが、パスポートの手続きの間に提供されます。滞在中、従業員すべての感じの良い応対に、とても満足しました。またコロンボ滞在の際には泊まりたいホテルです。 ##### やなちゃん ### 10/10 Excellent #### n, london 7 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place Excellent location, rooms very clean, staff are really friendly, safe, breakfast included as added bonus.
