I had a lovely stay at this charming B&B. The suite was spacious, very clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfy, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The location was convenient, close to shops and public transport. The host was welcoming and always ready to help with any questions. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

Just the right place for me. Quiet and calm. Worth the price. Short distance to restaurants, nightlife, beach and shopping etc. Good location, easy to find. Tasty Sri Lankan breakfast. The cocktail Curly Special puts the finishing touch for my stay.

The room was simple and tidy, we had private bathroom and a fan. Mario the owner was really nice, he offered shuttle from the airport in good price, we came quite late and it wasn’t a problem to pick us up, what I found really nice was that he took us to the small food place on our way to grab some food because I told him I was very hungry. We could also use charger adapters in the hotel. I liked breakfast also, it was local, simple and very tasty, milk tea was amazing. Mario also advised us where to take a bus to another city the next day. It was very nice stay :)

We wish we had arrived earlier because the view on the lagoon looks amazing. Still, the staff was super nice, and it's an amazing value. Close to the airport and cheaper and nicer than the airport transit hotels.

It close to the beach area. Which itself wasn't a good experience. Its very touristy and the prices on the street is above the roof. Its got a very dirty beach and not a very good vibe.

All hostels in Negombo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
