The room and the space exceeded my expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Staff where very friendly and helpful. For a budget stay Inn, it really was an amazing experience and the room certainly was not of budget standard at all. I loved the hippy and modern décor, made it feel very chilled compared to bustle happening outside. A very calm space was created.

I had an incredible stay at Colombo Beach Hostel during my visit to Sri Lanka. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the beach, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the sunset. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with local tips and recommendations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a great vibe for meeting fellow travelers. I particularly loved the laid-back atmosphere and the sense of community at the hostel. Plus, the Wi-Fi was reliable, which made it easy for me to stay connected when needed. Overall, Colombo Beach Hostel offers fantastic value for money, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Colombo!

If you are a seasoned backpacker, you will appreciate this hostel. If not, you may find it basic. But the staff were incredible, so helpful and lovely. No hot water but you don’t really need it with the temperatures.

Maria is an excellent host and always ready to help. The hostel is located really near to the beach and has good rooms. The common area specially the roof top is really pretty. You can stay here if you want to meet new people and have some fun parties.
