The female dorm is big and has its own bathroom, with a hot shower. The staff is super friendly and will help you with everything and any questions. The hostel is clean, very social, close to the main street and the beach, but still in a quiet area. And what a great breakfast! Would definitely recommend this place!

It's the best stop for anyone starting off their trip through Sri Lanka. You're able to get an all-you-can-eat continental breakfast at their sister hotel for around 2000 laks as well as access to their pool. It was best way to recover from my long flight. The bed bods are clean with your own socket and reading lamp. The bathrooms are clean and offer hot water. There are plenty of them so I never had to wait in line.

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.

I stayed here on my last day in Sri Lanka to leave for the airport.The rooms are very clean and good. All basic toiletries were available and it was all you need on your transit days.The host was very kind n friendly, helped with early morning tuk tuk for 1500.He also gave good suggestions for eateries nearby which were super convenient and budget friendly.I highly recommend this place 🙂..Airport is just 15 min away and I was traveling solo n felt safe n comfortable here.
