Located in Colombo, within 1.7 km of Milagiriya Beach and 2.9 km of Bambalapitiya Railway Station, Havelock City Hostel, Colombo provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests. What a lovely place!🥺 The staff is very kind and helpful, and the room is clean, safe, and spacious. The maintenance is superb—we loved the large lobby area. The hospitality is outstanding, and I truly appreciated it. They are equally kind to both locals and foreigners. The best part is that I had a chance to support their prevention programs, as they use the hostel’s profits to fund these initiatives. That means a lot to me. I encourage everyone to book a reservation at this hostel and help support these meaningful programs. Thank you. 🙏
