So close to the airport and the free drop-off at 5am was excellent. Given a free Lion beer and cold water when I arrived. I felt very well looked after.

everything here was just fantastic! the location is a hidden beauty and so close to the airport (under 10mins and a tuktuk was organised!), the people are amazing, especially Ashan, he goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable! the rooms are super clean and super spacious, definitely would recommend and will be coming back if i am to ever visit sri lanka again! not to mention, long story short, i stupidly left my phone in a tuktuk on the way there, and Ashan was so brilliant. He did so much. He organised a taxi past midnight to try and chase down the tuktuk and its location in which was successful and i managed to get my phone back which was such a relief considering i had a flight to catch in 6hrs with all my flight details etc. all in all, this man is a legend. also shoutout to J.D. (if you ever see this)another brilliant guy who greatly organised the huntdown! without them both, i dont know what i would’ve done! thank you for a great stay!!

I was in Colombo before and went to Negombo because its a nice place very near the airport. There were certain options to go to, curlys hostel was one of the cheapest in my case. I booked for 3 days and stayed at least 11 days because the room was perfect with a very comfortable bed (I was the only visitor for 8 days) and AC in a cozy house with everything I needed. Curly is a superb host, also the employeed house maker called aunty, the hostel got cleaned every day and the food was delicious. Drank also 'Old Arrack' from Rockland with ice there, can very recommend that spirit

Only good notes here. Mario is extremely helpful host, he gave us tons of very useful advice about Srí Lanka, also he helped to pin down the perfect travel itinary plan around the country. He offers free ride to the airport, but if you would like to discover Negombo and/or the surrounding area, he is the perfect guide also. He arranges a nice trip to the nearby river, which was really beautiful! Highly recommend this place, a perfect spot to arrive to / or before leaving Srí Lanka. Also the room was super clean, with a mini kitchenette area (sink, kettle), the bed and bedsheet were super comfy.

This place was amazing, I highly recommend it if you need to chill after you arrive to Sri Lanka or have an early flight!! The internet speed was perfect, I was able to work without interruptions. Owner gives you a beer upon arrival. There's a fish tank so you can get a massage from them. They provided breakfast, and I was also able to book dinner through them. And the drop off to the airport was smooth. It was the perfect place to end my travels in Sri Lanka

Absolutely loved my stay at Sky Hostel! The place is impeccably clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. They offer free bicycles, which made exploring the city so convenient and fun. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it feel like a true home away from home. Highly recommend for both locals and travelers!"

The host is amazing.Picked me up at the airport with communication on WhatsApp and drove to the hostel. Was so helpful with organizing onward travel and as I sat down to register a friendly beer was put in front of me. The room is simple but all that anyone needs . Good aircon , solid WiFi. For a stay over this was perfect.

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.

Yohan, is the best Hostel Host you can think of! I like when you get cool drinks from the fridge at the hostel and you don't have to pay imediately. You also get water for free! Yohan always helps you if you need something. 100% Recommend!

We had a lovely stay here and would’ve stayed longer if we didn’t have a flight out the next morning. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Rooms are clean and spacious. Great location to the airport, super cheap Uber ride.

The owner is the nicest person!! He is so helpful and takes care that you arrive safe at the hotel no matter which time your flight arrives! He even helped me after checking out with some transport issues, he was incredibly supportive! The hotel is only 8min drive from the airport so it is perfect for the beginning. The room was big, clean and the bed was comfortable. I arrived around midnight at the airport as a solo travelling woman and felt very safe as the owner picked me up for a very cheap price. Huge recommendation for everyone!

Super nice hostel with comfortable beds, even though you're in a dorm room the layout allows for a lot of privacy. Hot and powerful shower. Clean facilities. Great location near the airport. Could have stayed longer if I wasn't flying home the next day!
