HOSTEL KATUNAYAKE At COLOMBO AIRPORT TRANSIT, hotel in Katunayaka

Set in Katunayake, 7.6 km from St Anthony's Church, HOSTEL KATUNAYAKE At COLOMBO AIRPORT TRANSIT offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

All in all it’s a good place to stay. I stayed there in total three nights but not in a row. I always came back to get first my mom, then my brother and then my boyfriend from the airport. The staff made it possible to keep our not needed suitcase(s) while we travel. This was really helpful!😍 Breakfast was prepared with love. Rooms are clean and beds have moskito nets and AC. I can recommend this place.

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.

    really nicely made hotel with lot of place. Dormitory for 8 people was empty (there is lot of rooms cant imagine this room full) I was there alone. bunk beds are new, every bed has own plug, fan, light. you can use space of the hotel with wifi, they have bar with nice prices and nonstop (what really suprised me) restaurant in the garden. staff was really helpful and location from airport is really close - you can walk in 15-20 minutes to airport. Also reachable with bus from Colombo main bus station - but kind of tricky to find bus 265 :-)

    We LOVED our stay with Dinu.. such a beautiful person with a lovely big smile who goes above & beyond to make her guests feel welcome. Our rooms were clean and very comfortable with good airconditioning. Lovely safe property in a great location. Dinu easily picks up from airport. Breakfast was a real highlight with everything homemade and delicious. We would highly recommend staying with Dinu.. and we will look forward to returning one day. 🙏

    Great staff. Risuru and others were so nice.I chose this place at 5.00am in the morning because of problems of my flight. They picked me up from airport even I booked at 5 am. Room is very spacious and great location close to airport.They even help me to solve my flight problems and made calls. It’s close to beach and nice restaurants. Very interesting and authentic decoration. Amazing place for that price. Clean, safe and professional people taking care of all your needs promptly. Thank you very much Risuru.

    Best service I’ve ever had! The staff is extremely friendly and caring. They picked me up from the airport at 4am, helped me with the sim card and made sure I had everything I needed. The room was super clean. Best hostel to start and finish the Sri Lanka trip!! Highly recommended.

    Great location near airport! Ashan made sure I could arrive safely late at night and gave me heaps of advice on getting around Sri Lanka. I came back again at the end of my time in the country and he was super helpful in making sure I got to the airport in the early morning! The room was nice and clean. Lovely stay thank you so much!!!

    Owner and his wife were lovely, staying up late on our arrival, making us coffee in the morning, allowing us the use of their kitchen and even bringing us bananas as we had a chill day on the balcony - super lovely hosts. Room was spacious as was the bathroom. Great location close to the airport and a cheap place to eat.
