    Located just minutes away from Kurana railway station and so close to the airport, the hostel's convenient location makes it the perfect choice for those taking off early. Guests can easily arrange for airport pickup or drop off. With spacious and clean rooms, comfortable beds, and good wifi, guests can rest and relax before or after their flights. the hostel also offers breakfast and has a large common area to socialize.

    Some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and service, such as dirty bedsheets and a lack of staff presence at check-in.

    I stayed at Flipflop for one night before my flight. The accessibility from the airport was convenient and the hotel had a spacious and airy interior with plenty of natural light. The high ceilings in the rooms were a nice touch, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The free breakfast provided added value to my stay, and the overall experience was excellent.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    The breakfast at Flipflop Hostel was delicious, with freshly prepared eggs, toast, and fresh juice. The friendly old man in the kitchen made it even better with his warm hospitality. The convenience of the hostel's location near the airport was perfect for our late-night arrival, and the comfortable double room provided a good night's sleep. Despite the heat, the fan in the room helped keep us cool. I would recommend Flipflop Hostel for its tasty breakfast and convenient location.

    We had an amazing stay in this hotel near the airport with many busses passing by to the central bus station and not far from the railway station. Moreover, the breakfast was included and the staff was incredibly helpful.

    Nothing not to love.

    The location was easy to access and the staff was good. One of the best aspects was the high ceiling in the room which made it feel airy and spacious. Another great thing was the free breakfast provided by the hotel, which was a good value for money.

    The negative aspect of the hotel was the location, which was not so good for visiting nearby attractions. nearby restaurants seemed to cater to middle-class Sri Lankans, so not so good for budget backpackers.

    Spent Christmas at a cozy hostel with a great atmosphere, close to the train station and city center. The garden was a peaceful retreat from the buzz of the city and the staff was attentive, offering a warm and friendly service. The 24/7 Wi-Fi and basic breakfast were key features, particularly during the festive season when sometimes all you want is a cozy place to stay in, and a hot shower.

    The shared bathroom was not spotless and the towels given were not fresh. But the biggest drawback was the noise from the street that could be disturbing for light sleepers.
