Backpack Lanka
Hva gjestene sier
Our host Malitha was so helpful, he stayed in communication with us whilst our flight was diverted and we ended up in Sri Lanka later than expected, he gave us so many tips and recommendations for Sri Lanka and showed us on the map good places to go for our back packing trip. He gave us great advice about transportation as well and helped with our PickMe driver when they couldn’t find the hostel. Malitha made our stay exceptional! Location was good, short walk to some restaurants and cafes, also a shopping centre in front of the hostel. The room was basic but clean and slept all night with ear plugs, also air con which is lovely! Thank you for all your help Malitha :)

Wonderful hostel in the very centre of Colombo , it was clean and I stayed there for 1 night in which they did the laundry for me for free , that was wonderful as it costs over 10$ to do laundry elsewhere

The area where this hostel is located just perfect, it's close to everywhere interesting. The bed was very comfortable and there where plenty of showers and toilets, so you don't have to fight for it in the morning :D Outstanding was the staff of this hostel. Kind and helpful with a lot of tips, they made made our stay in this hostel more special than we would've expected.

While my first impression wasn't great, I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable, and there were plenty of bathrooms. There was also a nice little hangout/working space upstairs I didn't use, but I would definitely stay longer here.

The property was clean, easy to find and well equipped. We chatted with other local guests, got great advices for our trip and felt throughout comfortable. After visiting Sri Lanka we came a second time to this Hostel before departure and it was lovely meeting everybody again! Also great A/C.

Location was good, near transport links, shops and restaurants. The room was large enough and bed comfortable with opening window. There was a nice common area with fridge freezer and cooking facilities. WiFi was excellent. The staff were fantastic, really helpful and gave good local restaurant advice. Would definitely stay here again.

Some people have rated low for this property, but overall it is a great place to stay for budget travelers/ visitors who have just landed in Colombo or are taking a short stay. Its prices are reasonable. The room we had (Double Room with Shared Shower and Toilet) was clean, well maintained, and the strong A/C with no noise from it (Some reviewers have mentioned about AC noises, but we didn’t experience such noise). They provided towels and linens for us. Although we did not use it, there was a WIFI facility (I used 5G there for my mobile😊, so no need for WIFI). We checked in at night by informing them early. The staff member was friendly and guided us about the facilities. We could find the location easily as it is in front of the Liberty Plaza Kollupitiya. So, this was a big plus. Bus stops are walking in just a 05min distance. Close to grocery shops, KFC, burger king, food courts, supermarket, and ATM machines (in Liberty Plaza) there too. The location is very Central so I saved loads on traveling around town, literally in the middle of town. They should advertise that fact more.

We started our Sri Lanka journey here, because it was so nice we ended our journey here too. The rooms are clean, the showers and toilet are clean. Everything you need. It’s not a 5 Star hotel but Malitha gives 5 Star hospitality!! So friendly and so helpful, this place will always be our Colombo accommodation!

Great value for money! Clean, a short walk to the beach and they even kept our big backpacks, so we could go travel to the centre of Sri Lanka.
