Drift BnB Colombo

Bed and Breakfast

Surprised with this place! The best form ever.

We had a delightful stay at Drift in 2016 and 2018. A very special thank you to Vijaykanth who made our time there on both visits, fantastic by preparing delicious breakfasts and attending to all our needs!

Great for a 2 day stop in Colombo.
Staff.

My sister and I stayed at Drift B &B last December and we really liked and satisfied with the place. The location is very convenient and you get easy access to every place in Colombo. There are many places to eat around and it is easy to get a taxi when you just step out to the Galled road. The place is safe, decent, clean and comfortable. We booked a deluxe double room and it was spacious enough for two. The beds were clean and comfortable. Also, the air conditioner and the shower worked well and we always got clean towels etc. I specially need to mention about the staff because they were very attentive and friendly. We also left our suitcases for a couple of days while we were out of town and they took good care of them. And, you could talk to the staff anytime and get anything done without complications. They were honest and always willing to help their guests which I was really grateful for. Everything was perfect there and we will go back again. I would like to make a small complaint about one thing. It would be great if they could provide a mini bar in every room. I think it is very important in a country like Sri Lanka with high himidity as you are supposed to drink a lot all day long. I wish you guys good luck and hope to see you this December. Cheers!

I stayed here 4 years ago when Drift BnB first open and I loved it so much I made a point to return. I’ve stayed in both the private rooms as well as dorm rooms and both are great. The dorm room beds are so comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. The communal shower area is nice and usually clean. I definitely recommend Drift BnB if you’re in Colombo.

Had a great stay… sweet place and great hospitality. Absolutely friendly staff.

Wonderful Hostel. One of the best we stayed at in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka.

Nice rooms, spacious and clean, but a bit pricey. The staff is helpful and hospitable.

Very value for money. Room was big and clean, nice modern bathroom. Drinking water is provided for free. The also call you a tuk tuk provided by Pick Me Up, so you pay a good price and you can reach touristic attractions within 20 minutes. We would definitely come back!

Great breakfast, nice room, but quite a bit of morning traffic noise.

Clean rooms and friendly staff — especially the lady and the guy who manage the reception desk. The location is on Galle road, just 5-10 min three wheeler taxi ride (tuk tuk) from here to Galle face green and the city centre. This is a BnB aimed at younger travellers so don't expect any 4 or 5 star facilities. Breakfast is okay although takes quite some time to be prepared. They do not have an elevator but have a luggage lift mechanism. Overall a quite good place for a night or two.

Great BnB, patient staff, yummy breakfast. Close to train that runs along the coast. Tuk tuk everywhere. Clean rooms comfortable beds, a recent renovation with great Wi-Fi.

Excellent location, good service and quality.
No parking problems or schedules.
Amazing breakfast!

Clean, friendly staff and lovely chilled vibes. Perfect little oasis tucked in Colombo. Would definitely stay again.

The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are clean enough. However the entrance does not look so appealing.

I stayed there for just 1 day but totally loved the experience! It's pretty space with nice, helpful staff and clean rooms.

Although this place had no lift but they had a luggage lift. The rooms were spacious. Kitchen was downstairs for anybody to use and can use their fridge too bcoz rooms don't have a kitchenette or fridge which makes sense dony want bugs or ants in your room. TV available. Nice omelette.

A really good place in the down low. Very discreet and decent place.

Nice place to stay in the busy city. They got sound proof windows in every room.

Don't be deceived by the outlook. It's clean, strategically located, comfortable, safe and reasonable priced. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended ✌

Nice place at a reasonable price.

THE PLACE TO STAY IN COLOMBO ❤ Incredible Hotel With Spacious Rooms, Super Clean, Hot Shower, Perfect Beds To Rest In and Great Art Decoration. Incredible Instalations To Get What U Need To Feel At Home And Meet Very Interesting People From Around The World. Top 5 Star For This Place ✊

Great vibe, in the heart of downtown next to some excellent cafes and restaurants, within walking distance from geoffery bawa house. Galle face green and fort railway station are just a 20 rupee/10-15 min bus ride down galle road.

Gud hotel in sl for youngsters n too cheap with all ameneties.

The place is awesome. Very clean. The rooms are huge and confy. The krew rocks!

Great place! Beautifully designed rooms with ample space. Really worth it for the price. The location is ultimate! Rly close to main transport links and many restaurants around the hostel.

Beautiful, artsy, clean, and relaxing hostel with such wonderful staff who were extremely helpful and considerate!
Good location, even near the marine drive train station, Bambalapittya for those who like public transportation. The beds were very comfortable and breakfast was yummy Apart from the initial miscommunication of adding 26% tax charges, I would absolutely recommend this place and stay there again. Thank you Drift!

If you're alone in town and need the best place to smash this is the place. It's a hostel cum hotel. Fabulous Place. Rooms are clean and dope. The stuff are super cool. They provide all the tips to go through the city with little map which is super cool and super useful. Trust me words won't do justice. Oh yeah they've Wi-Fi in every places and it's fast.

Very very friendly staff. Actually our best stay during the trip. Absolutely recommended.

Good place with very kind staff. We had a double room with A/C which was spacy and clean.

Spacious and clean room. Hot water. Convenient location.

Great location. Nice staff. Rooms well priced.

Very affordable prices and easy to book. The staff are very friendly and the place itself is cozy, clean and has great access to the heart of Colombo and easy to go around to lots of places.

The place looks shady from the street but once you walk in, it's a complete and pleasant surprise. Looks great inside with a common area for eating, reading, or using the provided computer. Staff was pretty helpful, you're given a handy map of the surrounding area with places of interest. The rooms are very clean with the occasional bugs since all of Sri Lanka decided to never have fully sealed bathroom windows… They don't have any kettles for hot water in the rooms which was annoying, but still, I really liked this place and highly recommend it if you're staying in the area.

Great value and location, would recommend.

The dorms are not expensive and very comfortable and shared showers and toilets are very clean. Sheets are changed all the days the staff is very nice. The Breakfast is to try.

Could not recommend Drift BnB higher! This place is seriously a hidden gem in the complete madness that is Colombo! Clean, great rooms, fantastic staff! Perfect start to our Sri Lanka adventures. H&B, Australia — Feb 15

Excellent facility! Very clean and attractively furnished. Excellent breakfast. Location is superb: a short walk to the beaches and Galle Road will lead one to anywhere in Colombo fairly fast. The staff provides a very helpful map of the local area with very useful (and realistic) reviews of restaurants within walking distance. I loved my stay here and definitely look forward to the next time.
