All hostels in Kelaniya
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The apartment was very clean, spacious, well equipped and well maintained. Kitchen utensils, complimentary items (tea/coffee/sugar), pepper, salt and oil were available free of charge for the guests with constant water supply. Very safe environment for solo travellers especially ladies with calm and quiet surrounding. Conveniently located with easy access to supermarkets, hospitals and food outlets etc. Highly recommended and definitely will make another visit in the future. 🙂
