It’s a basic accommodation but it’s very good for the price you pay. Me and my friend stayed after landing at the airport and before the departure we returned to the same place, very convenient. The location is great, close to the beach and some cafes, restaurants. Rooms are big with en-suite bathrooms and mosquito nets. The family owning the place is very friendly. They can also take go to the airport by Tuktuk. Overall, highly recommend.

Mario, the host was super nice, friendly and helpful. He gave us very good tips about what to see around and also information about Sri Lanka in general. Regarding the accommodation, it's pretty new, very clean and very good located (close to the airport and also is easy to take the bus just in front of the hostel).The bed was comfortable and the room has a private bathroom. He provides breakfast with local food. We really enjoy our time there and we will be back for sure :) Thank you Mario, we wish you the best in all your projects!

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.
