The Long Hostel

So grateful to have stayed in such a social and fun hostel with such a helpful and kind manager. I met so many people that I will forever remember and it was always so easy to connect with others to do activities such as surfing, hanging out at the beach, going to see sunset, making Jewlery, doing henna tattoos in the corridor, going for brunch, family dinners, card games, volleyball, and all the like.<br>The bulletin board has any and every possible thing to do if you ever get board.<br>Having a fridge and freezer was also such a huge plus because Arugam Bay is quite expensive…<br>The location is ideal as well - kinda on the outskirts of town but close to a grocery store, fruit stand, and most of the best restaurants.<br>Thank you to everyone who made the 3.5 weeks I spent here so memorable.<br>Also loved the kittens!!!!

The hostel has a good location. Room mates were nice, outside areas well maintained. Only the bathroom could have been cleaner though.

It was a great location for a short stay in argum bay. However not all the rooms have en-suites and you have to use the communal bathroom/shower. Toilet paper is not provided inside these bathrooms. You have to pay extra for a towel. The aircon is only allowed on from 9pm-11am and when it is on it’s on at 24 degrees as the hostel manger keeps the remote. It was safe there is 24 hour security and the gate was closed after a certain time. For the cost wasn’t too bad. The communal bathroom was clean to an extent. The rooms did lack a bin and the beds were a bit creaky. Draw for your stuff was a good size and you could get a lock free of charge from reception.
