The female dorm is big and has its own bathroom, with a hot shower. The staff is super friendly and will help you with everything and any questions. The hostel is clean, very social, close to the main street and the beach, but still in a quiet area. And what a great breakfast! Would definitely recommend this place!

Great hostel, big dorm beds, clean bathrooms, super helpful and happy staff, great restaurant although booked out most nights, so you need to book if you want a table. Close to the beach, although not the nicest beach. Perfect stay for being close-ish to the airport

What I love most about Sky Hostel is its peaceful location, tucked away from the main road. Whether it's day or night, you're free from the noise of traffic and can truly relax. But what truly makes Sky Hostel special, and why I always want to stay longer, is its atmosphere. It feels like home. The people who pass through here come from all walks of life, each on their own journey. For a brief moment, our paths cross. Some we may never meet again, others become lifelong friends, and a few leave lasting imprints on our hearts. Sky Hostel isn’t just a place to stay in transit, it's a space where you find new family. If you’re someone on a journey of self-discovery, I wholeheartedly recommend making Sky Hostel your starting point. It’s a gateway to meaningful connections and soul friendships. Additionally, there’s the Sky Café, my go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As a vegetarian, it’s rare to find food that tastes this good. Every meal feels like a celebration, flavorful, comforting, and energizing. So here’s my slogan for Sky Hostel: "Sleep like thunder, connect like lightning, and live life to the fullest.

All hostels in Negombo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I stayed here on my last day in Sri Lanka to leave for the airport.The rooms are very clean and good. All basic toiletries were available and it was all you need on your transit days.The host was very kind n friendly, helped with early morning tuk tuk for 1500.He also gave good suggestions for eateries nearby which were super convenient and budget friendly.I highly recommend this place 🙂..Airport is just 15 min away and I was traveling solo n felt safe n comfortable here.
