The hostel's decoration had a homely touch with comfortable furnishings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The general areas were well-maintained, providing a lovely space for relaxation and socializing. As a senior traveler, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with easy navigation throughout the premises and facilities designed to cater to the needs of older guests.
One area for improvement for a better vacation experience for senior people could be better communication and assistance from the staff.

The location of this hostel is perfect and the beds are incredibly comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the nights were and the AC worked perfectly, making for a comfortable sleep. The stable wifi was a welcome bonus and the huge lockers under the beds provided extra security. The host, Charu, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided helpful tips for not only the city but also other routes in the country. The cleanliness of the hostel was a big asset for me and the option to order breakfast was simple but satisfying. this hostel offers great value for money and I will definitely be returning and recommending it to others.

The value for money at Republic At Galle Face was great, with a comfortable room and excellent AC. The location was perfect, being close to the beach and just a short walk to the mall. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay even better.
The food for breakfast could have been improved, with a limited selection of bread, butter, and papaya.

I recently stayed at Republic At Galle Face for a few days while exploring the city. The location was fantastic, close to a supermarket and within walking distance to the fort. The staff, especially Lakshitha, went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. He provided me with valuable advice, called accommodations for me, and even gave me his phone number for assistance. The room was comfortable, with clean sheets and a functioning AC. The facilities were well-maintained, with hot water in the showers. a great experience and I would highly recommend this hotel.
Recommend this hotel.

Great location, close to the city center and within walking distance of the ocean. The hostel was clean and well-organized, with friendly and helpful staff. The social atmosphere was a definite plus, making it easy to meet other travelers and make new friends.
There were very few people staying at the hostel during my visit, so it was difficult to make connections and find a lively social atmosphere. the quality of the coffee provided was quite poor, and I was disappointed that towels were not provided for guests.

The location of this budget hostel is perfect for exploring the beautiful beachside area of Colombo. It is also conveniently close to the historic fort and a shopping center. Previous guests have mentioned that the rooms are clean with comfortable beds and air conditioning. the friendly staff is always available to provide helpful directions and assistance.
Some guests have found the breakfast to be basic, consisting only of bread, butter, and jam.

The location was convenient and close to Galle Face Green, which was great for dinner options. The air conditioning in the room was good. That's about it.
The showers and communal areas were dirty. The staff were rude and unhelpful.
