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

The place is amazing! My room is right by the sea, and I can hear the waves every moment. The room is clean and tidy, and there’s a kitchen. Outside, there are shops nearby where you can buy food to cook in the kitchen, and bikes are available to ride for free. At the back, there’s a space where guests can hang out and relax. Most importantly, it’s very easy to meet new friends here. The host is very responsible and kind, and especially the host’s father—he helped me with kitchen tasks and even took photos for me! It’s truly a perfect place to relax.

The location is very convenient. It is less than 1 km to the train station, beach, grocery store and several restaurants on the beach and main road. The hostel room is very clean and spacious. The owner is one of the nicest people I have met. If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask him. Perfect place to stay if you have just arrived from the airport or are just waiting around for your flight outside of Sri Lanka.

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.
