For travelers having limited budget, GSH is preferable. Room is basic standard with towels, shampoo, water pot but no shower lotion, teeth brush and toothpaste. I lived a room faced to Galle Road. It was noisy in night. Breakfast was nothing, just some eggs, sausages, mushroom and breads. These were not worth USD 9. However, staff are nice and helpful. Its location is not near the centre of Colombo but I had many choices to take such as tuk tuk.
