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

This place is a hidden gem! From the main street and alley leading to the hostel, I wasn't expecting anything great but was pleasantly surprised. It's a really nice spacious hostel with a garden, nice art and the dorms are very clean with enough storage for your stuff. Air con is a plus! They even have a kitchen with coffee and tea. The owner is also very lovely and accommodating. Perfect distance from the airport. Highly recommend!

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.
