Dropp is an incredible hostel, everything is clean and tidy. The work team is very attentive and they help you with everything so that you have a unique experience in Colombo. The beds are the best, good mattresses, clean sheets, bathrooms, showers and common areas are always very clean! They recommended a couple of tours of the city with a contact of theirs, very good and affordable prices. They also helped us with our bags since we moved to Kandy and they allowed us to leave our bags until our return and we reserved one more night before leaving for India. We totally recommend it. Thank you for the stay.

This is the second time I have stayed here. It is a very comfortable place. I am happy that I can spend my time very freely. The staff here is also very friendly. This is the only place where you can get very comfortable, low budget and affordable accommodation around Colombo. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to the Havelock City Hostel staff for your dedication.

Excellent hostel, with a great restaurant serving all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. We stayed in a private room and a dorm on two visits. The rooms are exceptionally clean, with cool AC and hot and powerful showers. Top quality facilities. The food is sublime, I had the egg kotu and ice cream, on both visits. The portion sizes are generous and the prices very sensible. I found the whole process very relaxing! I recommend this place without any hesitation. Please do message ahead if you are arriving late so that the staff can wait up for you. They don't always reply to WhatsApp so it's best to call ahead.

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.
