Location is good, very close to the beach, also not far from the airport. The surrounding is safe, with several options for dining. The owner is nice, the dorms are spatious enough, clean.

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 :)

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.
