Drop Inn Hostels Colombo is 1.1 Asiri Surgical Hospital, 0.7 km from Lanka Hospitals, 2.9 km from Sri Lanka National Museum, 2.4 km from Bambalapitiya Train Station and 32 km drive from the Bandaranaike International Airport. Nirmal, the manager, was exceptionally hospitable and ensured my stay was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. The hostel’s central location in Colombo made it easy to explore the city, and the facilities provided were more than sufficient for a relaxing stay. A special mention to the cafe — the food was absolutely delicious and added a lot to the overall experience. Highly recommended!”

Situated in Colombo, VIBE Colombo has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is close to Colombo Town Hall, National Art Gallery and The Independence Square. Bambalapitiya Railway Station is 3.5 km away and Khan Clock Tower is 3.7 km from the hostel. Very good value for price. Room was clean, had both AC and fan as well which were greatly utilized in the heat. Staff was very flexible (we wanted to separate the beds because of our mosquito nets and it was immediately done). There’s also free coffee and tea at the rooftop, and a fridge there as well. Location was greart, very good cafes and restaurants nearby. One important thing though: the sign of the hostel is hard to see!:) But it’s on the other side of Citi Bank, next to “Slit city” sign which is easier to spot. Bathroon was good as well, very clean and pretty.
