Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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

Summary: 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!

Summary: I stayed only one night in the dorm. Room was very comfortable. A/C & WIGI were very strong. Reception staff was very informative and nice. just a minute walk to Dutch hospital and about 10 mins walk to Fort Rail Station.
