Attractively located in the Cinnamon Gardens district of Colombo, CEYLON STAYZ is situated 2.9 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station, 5.4 km from Khan Clock Tower and 5.9 km from R Premadasa Stadium. Boasting a shared lounge, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 2 km from Kollupitiya Beach, less than 1 km from The Independence Square and a 14-minute walk from Sinhalese Sports Club. Private parking is available on site. I picked this hostel again, mainly because of its location—right by the museum. It's a really nice family-run place, not much in the way of common areas or loud parties, but you always feel welcome and looked after, plus it is very clean and you can find all needed facilities and the price is amazing. Small tip: the hosts have small locks so you can just ask if you don't have your own one.

A continental breakfast is available at the hostel. At Lost & Found - Colombo you will find a restaurant serving local, Asian and international cuisine. Vegetarian, halal and vegan options can also be requested. The staff was nice, thoughtful and flexible. They allowed us to check in at 10am after our long haul flight which was a game changer for us. The house is charming, facilities are clean (we had our own toilet and shower in the common bathroom)
