I liked everything about this hostel! It is the perfect hostel to start or/and end your trip. * The staff is superfriendly and willing to help. The owner wants you to have a good time and is always trying to improve. * The rooms are clean, spacious and look beautiful. Because of the way it is build, you have a lot of privacy. * The bathroom and toilet are new and clean. There is hot water! * The location is perfect. Close to the beach and road with shops and restaurants. But the surrounded area is quiet and it has a nice garden. * The pool and SeaHorse Hotel and Spa. * The restaurant Tuk Tuk Wine and Dine serves amazing food and has live music 5 days a week. I can really recommend you to go. Enjoy 😀

Sky hostel was great. It's a smaller hostel so it makes you feel at home. The staff was super helpful and I definitely recommend staying there if you're coming through colombo. It's close proximity to the airport and just a couple minutes walk to the beach

S and P Airport Transit Hostel and Villa 01 was a fantastic choice for my stay in Negombo! The location is incredibly convenient, being just 4 km from Bandaranaike International Airport, which made it perfect for a quick transit. The hostel’s environment was peaceful, with a lovely garden that created a relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent—fresh, delicious, and incredible value at just £2. It was the perfect way to start the day. I also appreciated the availability of free bikes, which made exploring the local area easy and enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering assistance with airport transfers and tour arrangements. The shared lounge was a nice touch for meeting other travelers, and the property was kept clean and well-maintained. Overall, it was a comfortable and budget-friendly stay with everything I needed for a smooth transit. Highly recommended!

This is an amazing place to stay if you are in Negambo!! Being close to the airport and with the owner Vick being the most helpful, extremely knowledgeable and friendly guy that will help you with anything, I highly recommend your stay here!! It is in close proximity to see the beautiful sunsets and clean beaches that Negambo has to offer with great food close by. He also has many contacts across the country and can help you plan the rest of your trip so that you make the most out of your time in Sri Lanka including surfing, diving, snorkeling, safari, cheap and delicious local food, secret waterfalls etc. Overall this is a great place to start and finish your trip :)

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.
