    The friendly host can assist with everything, from luggage storage to laundry. They even have a BBQ grill! Oh, and let's not forget the free continental breakfast, it's totally worth it.

    Mosquitoes are the new roommates. So delightful!

    First @ Colombo Airport in Negombo is a fantastic option for a comfortable and convenient stay near the airport. the host, Dan, was exceptionally helpful in organizing transport and offering great advice throughout our stay. the hostel itself is clean, with a lovely lagoon view, and offers great value for money. the upcoming addition of a café space will only enhance the overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our first stop in Sri Lanka at First @ Colombo Airport. Cons: Could not be improved in any way. 😊.

    The hostel is conveniently located close to the airport, making it a great choice for an overnight stay before or after a flight. The staff at the hostel were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We particularly enjoyed the cozy and spacious lobby area and the garden facing the waterfront. It was a nice place to relax and unwind after a long journey.

    One of the downsides of the hostel was the noise. It was quite noisy due to the planes taking off and the main road nearby.

The shared space was stylish, relaxing, and comfortable. The simple breakfast of fruit and toast was perfect for a quick start to the day. I recommend this hostel for its convenient location and welcoming atmosphere.

    I had a pleasant stay at the hostel near the airport. The staff was friendly and accommodating, even arranging a taxi for my late-night arrival. The room was spacious and comfortable, with reliable Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The location was convenient, with a short 10-minute drive to the airport. There were also several affordable restaurants within walking distance, perfect for a quick meal before or after a flight.

    The breakfast provided at the hostel was quite basic, but considering the affordable price and other positive aspects of the stay, it was not a major issue.

    I stayed at Hostel First for one night during a layover at the airport. The hostel is conveniently located, only a short tuktuk ride away from the airport. The facilities are modern and clean, including the kitchen and bathroom. I loved the lagoon view and watching the sunset from there. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, and the shared dinner was delicious. the hostel has a great vibe and is perfect for travelers looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.
