I had a pleasant stay at Lanka Hostels Colombo with friendly and helpful staff, making it a solid choice for budget travelers. The place is clean and well-maintained, but the outdated photos can be misleading. One downside was the lack of mosquito nets; I was greeted by some buzzing companions in the morning. Overall, it’s a great spot to start or finish a trip in Colombo.
