Hangover Hostel is a newly opened chain of hostels in Sri Lanka. For now you are at the airport, in Colombo, in Mirissa and in Ella, all these locations are mandatory destinations if you visit Sri Lanka.

Hangover Hostel Airport

Our arrival in Sri Lanka was at 2:30 am … so we had to prepare a solution to the problem … Without a doubt, the best solution was to book accommodation at Hangover Hostel Airport. It is a great hostel 5 minutes by auto rickshaw from the airport. When you make the reservation through their website you can request that they come looking for you !! And so we did … what a pleasure … So pleased that we stayed 2 nights to rest from our departure from India.

It is a design hostel, super modern, made with cargo containers, but without sacrificing any comfort or appearance, the other way around. The rooms are 4 beds, with air conditioning and large and super comfortable beds.

The spaces are delimited so that you have a minimum privacy. Each bed has a locker with security lock where the whole backpack fits! The shared sink has everything you need, cleaning, everything is new and the shower has hot water !!! Ole Ole ole!!!

In addition they also have super chulas and comfortable double rooms with private washbasin if you prefer more privacy.

The common area is decorated with super beautiful graffiti, and the internet works great! The best internet we have found in Sri Lanka, the truth … You have free coffee, tea and bananas available all day, and there is also breakfast available (not included in the price), some fried eggs with bread, jam and butter Delight to start the day …

And if you need anything you just have to ask Joe, a great Irishman who helped us a lot to prepare our trip.

GKM Grand Hotel and Guru Hotel (Port Blair, Andaman Islands, India)

Website: http://www.gkmgrand.com/

The Andaman Islands belong to India but are closer to Thailand or Myanmar. The capital of the islands is Port Blair, and that’s where all the arrival flights to the island land.

In Port Blair we stayed 3 nights and we stayed GKM Grand Hotel, a 3 star hotel finished building. Everything is new and it shows in every corner of the hotel. Also the staff is super dedicated and they have everything under control down to the smallest detail. But the merit belongs to the owner, Guru Soumi, who is always there ensuring that everything is perfect.

They assigned us a room with a living room, television, and, of course, a big bed !! With the air conditioning we were able to rest from the heat, while we watched the international channels, until we discovered that we could connect USB on television to watch our movies!

The toilete was perfect, shower with hot water … yes, we know, but no matter how hot it is, we still like hot showers …

In the Andaman Islands the quality of the internet connection is quite bad, in this hotel we find the best connection quality of our entire stay in these islands.

We had breakfast at the restaurant, based on typical Indian dishes and an omelette, all very good! But the best was dinner, we had it included !!!! We asked the room service to bring it to the room, Indian curries with fish, prawns … everything was delicious! We all ate it in our little room while watching a movie on TV … a perfect way to end a day of sightseeing …

In addition, the owner of the hotel gave us a touristic route with his car through the most emblematic and touristic places of Port Blair, a detail! Thank you!!!

So our arrival in the Andaman Islands could not be better, with a good rest after long walks and visits to the touristic places in the area.

The hotel is a family business, and also has another hotel, Guru Hotel, this hotel is the same as the GKM but it has a few more years, although that is not reflected in a reduction in quality. This one is taken by Karan, the son of Guru, and he insisted that we visit this second hotel. As expert enchanted travelers we take a look to verify that it maintains the same quality as the newborn hotel, comfort, comfort and quality.
