Great location very close to the airport. Management and staff were very friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Being on the lagoon meant you had a lovely cool breeze blowing, enough to tone down the muggy heat.

It's close to the airport and right across from a restaurant that's open pretty late. It's a great spot if you need a place to stay before an early morning flight or right after one. It's an eight room bed setup (no bunk beds). The owner is really nice. He'll help you 24/7 with directions or even organize a Tuk Tuk ride to the airport if needed. The beds have clean linen, a lamp, a towel and a socket. The room has AC so that's a win.

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.
