Situated in Colombo, VIBE Hostels 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. Comfy and clean, located in center but still lowkey enough that it’s quite quiet, very friendly host. I was here for work and felt very comfortable. The room was spacious and comfy. I left my suitcase there for a couple of days early and a bit after checking out (for less than 2$), the host was very helpful . The room has a lot of closet spaces for clothes and hangers.
