This place was amazing. Good location, clean, friendly accommodating staff. Less than 5 min walk to the beach and the main strip with all the shops and restaurants. And paying dorm price to have access to a pool at their neighbouring property? Incredible. I’d 100% stay there again if I need accommodation near the airport.

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!

Lakshan was very friendly and welcoming. He was very accommodating and helpful for airport transit and a later check out. It was a really good location, close to the airport and food places, and a quick tuk tuk into the city to explore.

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.
