Amazing place to stay in Colombo. The location is perfect and the hostel has a great vibe, making it easy to meet nice people. The volunteers are incredible—super friendly and always happy to share useful tips and information about Sri Lanka. There’s also a terrace with a sea view, perfect for working or relaxing. Definitely a place I’d stay again and highly recommend

It was a great experience. The food is amazing and eating with the other travelers perfect. Great place to chill out and for swimming you can also reach to city center by public buses. It’s worth to see here and to stay here. Hi the recommended. If you will stay in a close distance to Colombo, that’s your place and if you’d like to meet with the others again this is your place.

First hostel stay and it was a good one. Nice place and very friendly people. Made some friends while we were there too.

After reading some good reviews on Hostel World we thought we’d give Colombo Beach Hostel a go. Even though the staff were friendly and the food was good and cheap, we would not recommend staying here (although we only stayed in a dorm so can’t vouch for the privates). My boyfriend woke up to masses of red bites all over his body. Not only were there bed bugs, but the AC was down meaning one fan (that didn’t rotate) was left to cool the whole room- it didn’t reach the beds and made it awfully uncomfortable to sleep in the dorm.

Room was not clean, especially the private bathroom had not been cleaned after the last guest, stains everywhere. The freshness of the sheets was also quite unsure. Mosquito net full of holes and reeking. A/C only partly working. Breakfast at extra charge, but still bad. We had initially booked two nights but left hastily after the first.
