"Had an amazing stay at Alma Boutique Hostel! The cleanliness and new facilities were top-notch - it's clear the hostel takes pride in its upkeep. The owner was proactive and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. The only minor thing I noticed was that some light seeped into the room, particularly in the upper dorm, despite the shades. This might be a bit disturbing for some guests. Other than that, I'd give Alma Boutique Hostel a solid 10/10. The pros far outweigh the cons, and I'd highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. Great job, Alma!"

Clean place and with shopping mall and restaurants nearby. The shower and toilet cabins were clean, but shower water didn't have much pressure. Rooms are great and ac works well. Nice common area and awesome staff. Wifi works well.

I've stayed in Seconds for one month while doing a course in Colombo, I couldn't have stayed in a better place! First of all because of the staff and the owner who are lovely people and made me feel at home! The breakfast is good and they have the option of having homemade delicious food if you want for an extra charge for lunch but still very cheap! They gave me all the information when I arrived about Colombo and they are very knowledgeable about the city and places to go in Sri Lanka, they helped me organizing train tickets as well. They very often had events with good music and nice people on the space outside the hostel. The swimming pool is an extra and is great! They are having some side building work on the place but almost finishing and soon they are going to open a lovely Cafe on the place The bed was comfortable and having the private room was Ideal for me! I definitely recommend Seconds, and for sure it will be my home in Colombo from now on

The staff of the hostel was super friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I was in a dorm but I had the room for myself. It has AC and it is super clean. The rooms are big, comfy and renovated. Breakfast was also included, it's a super good deal for the price!

I had an incredible stay at Colombo Beach Hostel during my visit to Sri Lanka. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the beach, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the sunset. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with local tips and recommendations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a great vibe for meeting fellow travelers. I particularly loved the laid-back atmosphere and the sense of community at the hostel. Plus, the Wi-Fi was reliable, which made it easy for me to stay connected when needed. Overall, Colombo Beach Hostel offers fantastic value for money, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Colombo!

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.
