Friendly staff. Next to a small little beach with nice sunsets. And you can also just continue north following the longer beach. Quiet area and close to restaurants and what not.

Great hostel, big dorm beds, clean bathrooms, super helpful and happy staff, great restaurant although booked out most nights, so you need to book if you want a table. Close to the beach, although not the nicest beach. Perfect stay for being close-ish to the airport

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!

Excellent location, value for money, very courteous staff, super responsive on WhatsApp. Excellent choice as a transit hotel - a very good location which is within 15 mins drive of the airport with a reliable pick up and drop off service (charged extra but very reasonable rates for the service).

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.
