I was in Colombo before and went to Negombo because its a nice place very near the airport. There were certain options to go to, curlys hostel was one of the cheapest in my case. I booked for 3 days and stayed at least 11 days because the room was perfect with a very comfortable bed (I was the only visitor for 8 days) and AC in a cozy house with everything I needed. Curly is a superb host, also the employeed house maker called aunty, the hostel got cleaned every day and the food was delicious. Drank also 'Old Arrack' from Rockland with ice there, can very recommend that spirit

Perfect location by the beach to start our trip in Sri Lanka. The hosts were very kind and supportive and they helped us a lot to take the bus to Kandy. Perfect WiFi connection that allowed me to have important work meeting while traveling without any disruption.

From

Perfect Hostel in Negombo, close to the airport and directly on the big wide beach. Met loads of nice people here. Relaxing atmosphere on the veranda with tables and hammocks, overlooking the beach. Yohan, who runs this place, is a gem of a person. He goes out of his way to make you comfortable and personally takes care of his guests' needs. Stayed in the private room, very spacious, with a big balcony and amazing views. The hostel is directly on the main beach road, so plenty to do and lots of restaurants, shops and bars all round. Definitely will come back!

Maria

From

I stayed for three nights in this hostel, and I believe it’s the best place to get a local experience. It’s a small hostel, not like a five-star hotel, but what makes it stand out is the personalized service. The staff gave us detailed information about the country and helped us plan our journey. They even arranged a boat safari to Muthurajavela National Park, where we saw monkeys, a crocodile, and many birds, as well as the Dutch Canal and lagoon. I’ll definitely come back before I leave Sri Lanka again!

All hostels in Negombo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
