The staff and a "share culture" made this spot perfect. It is a simple place with basic rooms and facilities. It is an inexpensive, no-frills place. However, the owner was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He picked us up from a 1 am flight. The breakfast was good. He gave us fruit right from his garden. He got us cell phone service and advice for our trip. He gave us adapters for plugs and helped with all sorts of advice. Guests leave items to share: Sunscreen, Shampll, lotion, etc... that you can use. He has a simple quaint garden with active bird life. It was a good location and a nice welcome.

We needed to rest after the tour and before the flight. This hotel was the best choice. After the tour and many hotels, the first phrase we said was: how clean it is here. The manager was very kind, met us, explained everything, and called a tuk-tuk to the airport. This hotel is an ideal choice for transit. I regret that we did not choose this hotel on the first night of our trip.

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

Perfect Hostel in Negombo, close to the airport and directly on the big wide beach. Met loads of nice people here. Relaxing atmosphere on the veranda with tables and hammocks, overlooking the beach. Yohan, who runs this place, is a gem of a person. He goes out of his way to make you comfortable and personally takes care of his guests' needs. Stayed in the private room, very spacious, with a big balcony and amazing views. The hostel is directly on the main beach road, so plenty to do and lots of restaurants, shops and bars all round. Definitely will come back!

Took a Grab car from the Jakarta airport. A bit of a drive, but very comfortable. The staff was great, location is in a quiet neighborhood and the manager is super helpful in arranging transport to airport for early morning flight. 100% would recommend! The fish pond in lobby was a nice addition and a unique addition to the stay.

Absolutely loved my stay at Sky Hostel! The place is impeccably clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. They offer free bicycles, which made exploring the city so convenient and fun. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it feel like a true home away from home. Highly recommend for both locals and travelers!"

The host is amazing.Picked me up at the airport with communication on WhatsApp and drove to the hostel. Was so helpful with organizing onward travel and as I sat down to register a friendly beer was put in front of me. The room is simple but all that anyone needs . Good aircon , solid WiFi. For a stay over this was perfect.

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.

Yohan, is the best Hostel Host you can think of! I like when you get cool drinks from the fridge at the hostel and you don't have to pay imediately. You also get water for free! Yohan always helps you if you need something. 100% Recommend!

We had a lovely stay here and would’ve stayed longer if we didn’t have a flight out the next morning. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Rooms are clean and spacious. Great location to the airport, super cheap Uber ride.

The owner is the nicest person!! He is so helpful and takes care that you arrive safe at the hotel no matter which time your flight arrives! He even helped me after checking out with some transport issues, he was incredibly supportive! The hotel is only 8min drive from the airport so it is perfect for the beginning. The room was big, clean and the bed was comfortable. I arrived around midnight at the airport as a solo travelling woman and felt very safe as the owner picked me up for a very cheap price. Huge recommendation for everyone!

Super nice hostel with comfortable beds, even though you're in a dorm room the layout allows for a lot of privacy. Hot and powerful shower. Clean facilities. Great location near the airport. Could have stayed longer if I wasn't flying home the next day!
