Hostel Katunayake

The owner was kind but hostel wasn’t quite as expected - the tap was broken in one of the 2 shared bathrooms, & the hostel was tiny & there were only 2other ppl staying there. No blanket on the bed, just plain sheet and pillow, had to get random blankets out of a cupboard. It’s defo a stay for convenience being close to the airport not for enjoyment. The piano is also out of use even tho the images show people gathered round a piano suggesting it is social and functioning. So quite misleadin...

Is a nice Hostel with a good location and near to the airport.

The staff were super helpful, from our late arrival to organising transport for us, our room was comfy with AC and bathrooms were tidy, would stay again!

Super lieber Gastgeber, die Unterkunft ist richtig sauber und geräumig.

an sich super hostel wenn man am nächsten Tag früh fliegt, 10min vom flughafen mit dem Auto. Leider sehr wahrscheinlich Bettwanzen gehabt in dem 4er Dorm als ich da war.

Made us lovely meal and sorted us a tuk tuk to the airport. Very clean and accommodating

Great stop before/after a flight! Only 15mins from the airport, rooms are clean and comfy, wifi good. Could do with a curtain in the shower as the floors/toilet gets soaked. They have the option to add breakfast andtheres free drinking water. Not any atmosphere but expected as its a stopover point. Food nearby too.

I had a clean room with AC and mosquito net. The bathroom needs a bit renovation. The location is 4 km from the airport. Price was above average for me as a solo-traveller(24 euro). The food at the Dream Lagoon restaurant was good (beautiful view of the lagoon at sunset).

Nice staff and close to airport. Kinda hard going to eat/ get groceries by walking tho. Located close to highway.

Amazing place. Very nice staff (we recommend having a chat with them!), clean room, good A/C and showers. Thank you guys!

Really nice hostel, perfect for your stay in Negombo coming from the airport (only 10min drive). Really friendly and helpful staff, good food, calm atmosphere. Private room perfect to rest out your jetlag.

Very nice hostel, great location near the airport. It's perfect if you need to fly out the next day or fly in late. The staff are so kind and friendly. They gave me a lot of helpful tips and instructions for how to get to Colombo. Clean, safe, peaceful.

Perfect location near the airport

Fine for one night

Great hostel, I was supposed to be here for one night but stayed for a week, great hospitality and great vibe, friendly family and extremely clean. Would definitely recommend even more than just a before or after flight transfer stay.

Fantastic hostel/homestay! Perfect if you are coming from/heading to the airport. Only 5-10 min drive away. The owners are VERY lovely, and they organised us a private transfer to Ella for a very reasonable price. The beds and rooms are lovely too!

Clean and chill. Nice stop around the airport. Beautiful green yard and water pond with fish. Friendly staff

Very helpful and friendly hostel owners. Unfortunately, I was alone in the hostel, but it was okay for my first night in Sri Lanka :)

Buchung im Dorm, mein Freund musste um 22Uhr Uhr diesen Tages noch los zum Flughafen. Da es mir sehr schlecht ging, saß er den Tag über bis zur geplanten Uhrzeit neben meinem Bett und hat auf mich aufgepasst. 4 Mal wurden wir gefragt, wann er denn (endlich) ginge. Um 22 Uhr klopfte es dann an der Tür und mein Freund sollte nun wohl die (nie erwähnte) LOBBYCHARGE 2000LKR zahlen. Ich habe die Nacht woanders verbracht. Keine Empathie sondern Kontrolle und nur unser Geld stand im Fokus.

Good hostel for pre/post airport. friendly owners and had option to buy dinner there which was very helpful.
