Attractively located in the Cinnamon Gardens district of Colombo, CEYLON STAYZ is situated 2.9 km from Bambalapitiya Railway Station, 5.4 km from Khan Clock Tower and 5.9 km from R Premadasa Stadium. Boasting a shared lounge, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 2 km from Kollupitiya Beach, less than 1 km from The Independence Square and a 14-minute walk from Sinhalese Sports Club. Private parking is available on site. I recently stayed at Ceylon Stayz for what was supposed to be two nights but ended up extending my stay to three nights because it was such a delightful experience. The owners are a perfect, incredibly helpful, and welcoming couple who go out of their way to assist with anything you need. The hostel’s location is ideal—calm, yet conveniently close to everything you might want to explore. Plus, it’s impeccably clean. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again! 🖤🖤

Situated in Colombo, VIBE Colombo has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is close to Colombo Town Hall, National Art Gallery and The Independence Square. Bambalapitiya Railway Station is 3.5 km away and Khan Clock Tower is 3.7 km from the hostel. Comfy and clean, located in center but still lowkey enough that it’s quite quiet, very friendly host. I was here for work and felt very comfortable. The room was spacious and comfy. I left my suitcase there for a couple of days early and a bit after checking out (for less than 2$), the host was very helpful . The room has a lot of closet spaces for clothes and hangers.
