Basic accommodation near the airport , good for one night

Good location near the airport and it’s ok for a one night stay. Friendly owner.

Not as nice as in the photos, very basic room with no AC, no hot water, bathroom wasn’t very clean. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel, more like a motel. For this price of course can’t expect it either. For breakfast we got fruits, a fried egg with some veggies and plain bread , had to ask to have it toasted and for butter. No tea or coffee even..

Bra boende som vi absolut rekommenderar, mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal! Fräscha rum!

Enkelt och smidigt boende. Vi bodde där en natt innan vår tidiga flygning dagen efter. Personalen var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam i allt!

Inget speciellt de fungerar bra för ett mellanlandande efter eller innan långa flygresor.

Great value

A perfect transit stop. Can’t thank Mario enough for all of his information he gave us, it put us on the perfect front foot for the rest of our journey. A very reasonable airport transfer price and we appreciate that he stayed up late to let us in!

Lovely!

We were greeted by the owner, Mario, upon arrival (even with our arrival being 4am). He was very friendly and knowledgeable, great person to chat with at the beginning of your trip to get local insight. We had breakfast brought to our room for us even though we slept in due to jet lag. Our stay was very pleasant overall, Mario being the highlight!

Lovely host and great stay

Brilliant location to the airport and in a nice quiet area. Great facilities and the owner was very helpful and took time to talk to guests and ensure their needs were met. I’d say this hostel is value for money and the room is a generous size. Thank you

I can’t fault it

Best place to start your trip in Sri Lanka

Had a wonderful first start to my trip in Sri Lanka. As a solo traveller who was hesitant about navigating the public buses, I am now confident in doing so. This all thanks to Mario’s introductory speech about everything about Sri Lanka, from its history, culture, and it’s transport of course. The food from the hostel was absolutely delicious as well. Safe to say I will be eating a lot more cheese kottu. The hostel isn’t too far from an atm and bus stops into town. He was also kind enough to give myself a SIM card, which I was able to put money on it later on with ease.

Great stop-over close to the airport

Affordable stop-over before going to/after coming from the airport, which is a 15 minute drive away. Our room was simple but super clean and well maintained, and the owners were very kind. Overall, excellent value for money.

Recomendable para una parada en Negombo a tu llegada o salida del país

El personal es muy amable. Nos explicaron muchas cosas de Sri Lanka y nos ayudaron en lo que les pedimos. Regalan una tarjeta SIM pero sin muchos datos, que está bien, pero que no supone ningún ahorro con respecto a comprarla en el aeropuerto. El desayuno es normal, pero no se puede pedir otra cosa por el precio

Por el precio pagado, todo está bien

Erste Anlaufstelle nach Ankunft am Flughafen

Mario kümmert sich sehr gut um seine Gäste. Ich würde jedem empfehlen erstmal dort anzukommen wenn man sich auf Sri Lanka begebt. Mario klärt einen über alles wichtige auf, gibt Reise Vorschläge und ist eine sehr angenehm Gesellschaft.

Ottimo

Sicuramente torneremo qui, l'host e la sua famiglia sono simpatici e hai accesso a tutte le informazioni necessarie per il viaggio in Sri Lanka. Abbastanza vicino all'aeroporto (c'è un servizio navetta) e con un bus si arriva in poco tempo alla strada principale di Negombo. La stanza che ci ha dato era perfetta, il posto è piuttosto nuovo e pensato bene.

Il wifi non prendeva sempre benissimo, soprattutto al piano di sopra. Ma non è un grosso problema, dopotutto è un transit hotel, di solito ci si passano pochi giorni.

Very nice to stay when you arrive at or depart from the airport.

Very nice stuff that is always willing to help. You even get food in the hostel.

A little bit outside but nice if you don’t like the city too much. You will need a tuck tuck or take the bus.

Super gastvrij, maar erg basic

De eigenaar was ontzettend vriendelijk, en heeft ons erg geholpen. Bij aankomst zijn we vriendelijk verwelkomd. Ze hebben ons goed geholpen met tuktuks regelen en vertelde veel tips en leuke feitjes over Sri Lanka. Enorm vriendelijke man die het beste over heeft voor zijn gasten!

De kamer was relatief muf, weinig zuurstof. Het bed is redelijk oncomfortabel, en er is geen airco.

Great option for sleeping after your flight. The host was very kind and accommodating. A young guy who manages the place himself. Rooms were basic but good enough. Great value.

Bed and shower not so comfortable. Fine for one night.

Charming Family-Run Hostel: Affordable, Personalized, and Deliciously Local

Had an excellent experience at this hostel! Mario, the owner, was incredibly kind and provided fantastic recommendations for exploring the country. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. The price is unbeatable, and the tasty local breakfast served in the room is a delightful touch. Additionally, having a kettle and space in the room to prepare our own snacks was a convenient perk. Overall, a great stay!

Mario era muy amable, nos indico donde podríamos comer... Y nos llevó al aeropuerto pagándole pero por las horas que eran nos vino genial

Las camas no son camas, son super incomodas,no tienen colchón, imposible dormir en ellas, las toallas eran super viejas y desgastadas el tamaño no era ni una toalla de mano, no habia agua caliente

Für Abflug okay

Für eine Nacht zuwarten für den Abflug war es okay, länger würde ich mich nicht aufhalten. Der Verwalter hat ein Tuk Tuk zum Flughafen organisiert. Fußläufig ist ein Cargels und einige Restaurants zu erreichen. (30 min)

Es gab 1000te Flugameisen, aber leider kein Mückennetz um diese abzuhalten. Weit weg von Negombo City!

Cheap comfortable stay. Owner with lots of tipps.

Lovely Family running the place. Unfortunately my last day in Sri Lanka, the owner had a lot of tipps for traveling around the country and what to see. Clean rooms and really good food. Nice place to stay with a 20min drive to the airport.

As a budget hotel, it’s comfortable and convenient to get to the shops nearby.

The rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is easy to get to by a taxi or a tuk tuk from the airport. The host is very helpful and welcoming, every morning I woke up to different homemade breakfast and they were all so delicious! I ended up extending a few nights more to take a proper break from long travelling :)

Perfekter Start in den Sri Lanka Urlaub

Perfekter Start in den Sri Lanka Urlaub! Insbesondere der Host, Mario, macht diese Unterkunft zu etwas besonderem. Wir sind um 22 Uhr am Flughafen angekommen, und er hat schon auf uns gewartet. Er ist sehr umgänglich und spricht fließend englisch, man kann sich mich ihm wirklich über alle Themen unterhalten. So haben wir auch direkt beim Frühstück eine umfassende Einführung in die Kultur der Singhalesen bekommen, mit einer Auflistung aller Verhaltensregeln, Sicherheitsaspekten, Geheimtipps... Ein Traum! Die Unterkunft an sich hat ein gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Die Zimmer sind sauber, ein wenig feucht, aber nicht tragisch. Zum Frühstück gibt es traditionelle Kost. Vor der Haustür ist direkt eine Busstation, sodass man auch leicht in die Innenstadt von Negombo kommt oder weiter ins Landesinnere.

Unterkunft ist etwas außerhalb gelegen; aber Tuktuks sind günstig bzw. der öffentliche Bus auch gleich ums Eck
