Located within 300 metres of Galle Face Beach and 3.2 km of Khan Clock Tower, Galle Face Terrace Hostel by Tourlux provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Colombo. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

Even though I only stayed for a night, I found it to be really good value for money. The bed was comfortable, the location was very much okay (close to a mall), and staff over the top friendly. When I was here it was raining and the street was a little flooded. The staff was so friendly they didn’t let me navigate the flood alone, arranged an uber for me, and made sure I arrived in time for the airport. Really recommend!
