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.

Enjoy great food (all kind) just fresh and local with such a great beach view just across the street from all surf schools. The servis was kind of slob but our dinner was excellent. We did share more different dishes and all were great!

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!

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.

Until yesterday, I’d have not had one bad word to say about Hangtime. The food in the cafe is great, atmosphere really nice and chill and considering I was bed-bound with flu for most of my stay it was the perfect place to feel looked after. We stayed for 5 nights (originally only booked to stay for 3 but stayed longer after I got sick). However, after our final night we woke up to find that all of the dorms had been broken into and robbed. Upon reporting this to the staff, we were then informed that this was the second robbery in a matter of weeks that had been reported, amounting to around $500 worth of missing money. Whilst we accept and appreciate that our possessions are our responsibility and there are lock boxes in the rooms for a reason, had we been informed upon arrival that someone had managed to break into the hostel only 1 week prior, we would have been a lot more vigilant with our possessions. We spoke with the owner of the hostel who informed us that even after the previous break in, the guests hadn’t been informed and the code for the dorms had not been changed, meaning no action from management had taken place in response to the break in. We refused to pay for our final night. Had this not had happened, my review would have been a lot more positive. More needs to be done by management to address the security of the hostel. Stay vigilant at night if you choose to stay here.
