Backpack Lanka

Even though the price was very reasonable, I was extremely satisfied that the room had air conditioning! The owner was also very kind and even helped me get an Uber. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance to visit Colombo.

Horrible hostel!!!! The room had no window and reeked of smoke, couldn't even breathe! The showers and toilets were also in a terrible state!

For a hostel, it's really not bad. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and you could even leave it on when you went out. The staff were friendly, thank you!

The bedding was incredibly clean, and the bathroom was also in order (though they really should put up a proper curtain on the shower window). The staff were lovely and helpful; they let me leave my backpack until the evening and provided a kettle. The location is also excellent, with everything within walking distance. Overall, it's a good option in not-so-cheap Colombo, offering great value for money.
