I was in Colombo before and went to Negombo because its a nice place very near the airport. There were certain options to go to, curlys hostel was one of the cheapest in my case. I booked for 3 days and stayed at least 11 days because the room was perfect with a very comfortable bed (I was the only visitor for 8 days) and AC in a cozy house with everything I needed. Curly is a superb host, also the employeed house maker called aunty, the hostel got cleaned every day and the food was delicious. Drank also 'Old Arrack' from Rockland with ice there, can very recommend that spirit

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.

It was the best place to stay in sri lanka. Cheap price, in front of a great beach, nice restaurants and stores nearby, close to the train station and the host is such a gentleman. I stayed there for more than one time and if i ever go back to sri lanka, for sure I'm going there again. Shower is great, the ac is pretty good, and so is the room. Everything is well cleaned and you have free water and a kitchen to use as well.

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.
