I had a lovely stay at this charming B&B. The suite was spacious, very clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfy, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The location was convenient, close to shops and public transport. The host was welcoming and always ready to help with any questions. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

I went to a hostel because I had just landed in the country and needed fresh information. The owner/manager, Martin was an excellent source of travel info, which made up for the lack of other guests, and perhaps because now with the digital age we no longer talk to real people.

We wish we had arrived earlier because the view on the lagoon looks amazing. Still, the staff was super nice, and it's an amazing value. Close to the airport and cheaper and nicer than the airport transit hotels.

All hostels in Negombo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
