Hostel First @ Colombo Airport Hostel

It's a great traveler hangout made for travelers by travelers!

This place is amazing. We stayed twice in our stay in Sri Lanka, once on the way in and once on the way out. It is located very close to the airport which is its main advantage. When we got there as we were just arriving into the country, the host helped us plan how to get down to Mirissa, including arranging a tuktuk to come for us very early in the morning, and then directing us which buses and trains to take. We were meant to miss the free breakfast form 7-9am but it was already put out at 6:25am. The dorm room is air conditioned. The top bunks are extremely high. On our way out of the country, the host offered to upgrade us to a private room because there were only top bunks available and we were travelling as a couple. So kind! The private room had two single beds that were pushed together. It did not have air conditioning but had two fans which were adequate. Again, they arranged a tuktuk to take us to the airport in the morning. The backyard of the hostel is wonderful with a view out to a lagoon. Great place to drink a couple beers. The lounges and kitchen are clean and pleasant. My husband and I played a few rounds of ping pong in one of the lounges. I would recommend this place to anyone coming through Sri Lanka as a place to get settled or as you're heading out.

Clean and nice atmosphere at first sight. Very friendly staff! Facing Negombo Lagoon, one of the easiest to reach the airport. 공항근처 숙소로도 좋아요!

Couple. We stay just for 1night. Very close from the airport. Staff very helpful. Suggested.

Great hosts, good food, very clean! A lot of noise from surrounding traffic and airplanes at night. Very close to airport.

Really close to the airport so super easy as a first or last stop. The owner is very friendly and helpful and offers a great hostel service. There is free tea/water and breakfast (specify if you’re a vegetarian) and the shower was always hot!

The best Hostel to start your trip in Sri Lanka! Very good location to take bus/train anywhere! It’s only 5 mins by far to the airport!

Kind staff, calm atmosphere, clean, and full service (breakfast, Wi-Fi, etc). Great place to land for your first night.

Very good location if arriving late to airport and looking for a place just for one night. They had own tuktuk for reasonable price as well. The place itself was quite basic, but clean.

We stayed here two nights and it was very good. Friendly stuff! Minimal breakfast but almost sufficient. Not far away from airport and good restaurants. Deluxe-Room was clean and with AC! Socket Adapter and mosquito spray available.

Loads of mozzies, nothing new to the island areas but excellent staff and quaint location and views xxx.

OMG! 100% the best hostel. It was so nice. I became best friends with Siri the housekeeper as well as the receptionist from England. She is so nice. But she spend too much time skyping with her German boyfriend. Anyway — they offer fishing activities at late afternoon. So nice! Pui is living the dream!

I have stayed in Hostel First for one night. It was the worst experience of my life. I had to sleep in a room where 2 bunk beds were available. To my surprise, one stranger was already sleeping on one of the beds. The room was so hot that I could not sleep well during that night.

A good place to relax after the flight. Comfortable bed, shower, breakfast — everything you need to gain strength for further travels. For example, in Mirissa where one more Hostel First Mirissa or in Hikkaduwa, to our Anilau Villa Sisira;)
Хорошее место, чтобы отдохнуть после перелета. Удобная кровать, душ, завтрак — все что нужно, чтобы набраться сил для дальнейших путешествий. Например в Мириссу, где расположен еще один Hostel First или в Хиккадуву, к нам на Anilau Villa Sisira;)

Great place excellent friendly staff and most of all clean and cheap.

Easily located about a 10 minute car/ tuk tuk ride from the airport. Clean, spacious environment. Large back garden that offer hammocks for relaxing and a volleyball area for some exercise. Very friendly and relaxed owners that are eager to help you get the best experience you can, offering amazing places to go and things to see on your trip.

Perfectly located near the airport which made our trip much easier. It was very clean and the staff were happy to help with any ideas we had for trips around Sri Lanka and things to do in Negombo. The facilities were great with hammocks out beside the Negombo Lagoon, good Wi-Fi and comfy communal areas. Overall this hostel is perfect for arriving and leaving Sri Lanka due to it's location and with the staffs great knowledge of Sri Lanka it is easy to plan what to do in Sri Lanka with them.
