The rooms are clean and well presented, the garden is beautiful and there is tea & coffee available 24hr. Breakfast is a buffet style with freshly made eggs of your choice, sausages toast and a choice of fruits.
My only complaint was the noise. The hotel was fully booked and this meant that it was quite noisy late at night and very early in the morning, especially being in a room near the kitchen. The sound echoed terribly.
The manager was very kind and professional, helping me change to a quieter room, when one became available.
The staff person who checked me in was very kind and helpful. The property is older and in need of a revamp and thorough cleaning. I scrubbed the tub with bleach to remove the caked on dirt. The bedding should smell fresher, especially the pillows. The bathroom could also use a new shower curtain to replace the one with mold spots.
Clock inn hotel is a good hotel with good location.
Beads and pillows are near and clean. Room service is good. Staffs are good and professional.
Breakfast is good and delicious. Love to stay again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a wonderful stay at Backpack Lanka! The hostel is clean, safe, and well-maintained, with comfortable dorms and modern bathrooms. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to make you feel at home. The location is excellent—close to shops, restaurants, and public transport, making it very convenient for exploring Colombo. The common areas are cozy and well-kept, perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. Overall, it’s great value for money and highly recommended for solo travelers and backpackers looking for a welcoming place to stay in Colombo.
Perhaps because there are fashionable bars nearby, you could hear loud music coming from outside and it was very noisy at night. The room was simple and the shared bathroom was very clean. There was also a hair dryer, which was helpful.

Great
CCJ12A beautiful building in a very pleasant area of Colombo; the architecture and interior design of the hotel are a joy to behold and the vast majority of staff are polite and courteous. Plenty of amenities nearby to suit all tastes and interests. The breakfasts were great both mornings (both the Sri Lankan breakfast and the Western style), and they really lived up to the high expectations we’d had from the Instagram marketing we’d seen.
We were upgraded to the North West Suite, which was a larger room, for which we were greatly appreciative; a couple of issues with working plugs and appliances (coffee machine and hair dryer) were reported and rectified, although the wiring/plugs more broadly were temperamental and poorly placed (as expected, possibly, with the charm of an older hotel). However, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, and the bathroom was well appointed.
Our only qualm was with the overzealous Head of Housekeeping, who seemed to not grasp the subtlety required for such a role, or the privacy with which guests might like to enjoy the beautiful hotel. It appeared that he lingered all too often in search of a tip, and didn’t quite appreciate the boundaries one might desire when paying a reasonable fee for each night. My wife and I took to speedily locking the door and placing the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the handle to keep his incessant interrupting to a minimum. His deputy was, however, an asset to the hotel, who seemed to comprehend the subtle art of providing high quality service for a luxury stay in a lovely hotel.
All-in-all, a great choice for a hotel in the heart of Colombo, and hopefully, during a busier season, the aforementioned Head of Housekeeping might spread his overbearing attention across the many rooms of the hotel.

耳耳東氵罒幸一止Heritage is located near to airport but the building definitely needs upkeep.
The lady boss is very friendly and nice, we are given a warm welcome. The entire space is quite quaint in its own way.
Rooms are spacious and nice, beds are comfy, we opted for the aircon rooms upstairs but the doors definitely need better lock and showers stronger consistent water pressure.
Clean beds and sheets but that wall needs a new patch and coat of paint. Didn't try the food.
Good for 1 night stay with company, for the price it cost, i think it's pretty decent.
DDanumThe attendants were very nice and helpful. The main entrance to the hostel was a bit tricky to find from the ground floor of the building but absolutely walkable to and from Colombo Fort Railway station. It is also close enough to some restaurants and convenience stores. It is clean enough but the room where I stayed had no window curtains. However, each bed has its own power outlets and the bathrooms are inside the dormitories. They also provide clean bath towels for free. For the free breakfast, we were served with some toasts, butter, jam, juice, a banana and a slice of watermelon. This hostel is perfect for people on a budget who have the most basic needs.
