Very lovely staff who were really helpful as I had to check in after midnight, there was no issue and I was welcomed with a smile :) Super cool interiors and modern rooms :) I also liked all the sustainability posters around the place :) Would have been great to stay longer for sure if I was in the area for more days

Dropp is an incredible hostel, everything is clean and tidy. The work team is very attentive and they help you with everything so that you have a unique experience in Colombo. The beds are the best, good mattresses, clean sheets, bathrooms, showers and common areas are always very clean! They recommended a couple of tours of the city with a contact of theirs, very good and affordable prices. They also helped us with our bags since we moved to Kandy and they allowed us to leave our bags until our return and we reserved one more night before leaving for India. We totally recommend it. Thank you for the stay.

Excellent hostel, with a great restaurant serving all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. We stayed in a private room and a dorm on two visits. The rooms are exceptionally clean, with cool AC and hot and powerful showers. Top quality facilities. The food is sublime, I had the egg kotu and ice cream, on both visits. The portion sizes are generous and the prices very sensible. I found the whole process very relaxing! I recommend this place without any hesitation. Please do message ahead if you are arriving late so that the staff can wait up for you. They don't always reply to WhatsApp so it's best to call ahead.

I loved it! The owners are so welcoming and nice, they have very good common areas to chill and meet other travelers, as well as a pool. There is AC on the rooms so it was nice to sleep without suffering from the hot humid weather

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.

    The staff of the hostel was super friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I was in a dorm but I had the room for myself. It has AC and it is super clean. The rooms are big, comfy and renovated. Breakfast was also included, it's a super good deal for the price!

    If you are a seasoned backpacker, you will appreciate this hostel. If not, you may find it basic. But the staff were incredible, so helpful and lovely. No hot water but you don’t really need it with the temperatures.

    Maria is an excellent host and always ready to help. The hostel is located really near to the beach and has good rooms. The common area specially the roof top is really pretty. You can stay here if you want to meet new people and have some fun parties.
