I loved everything about this place. the owner and staff were amazing and always ready to help. the breakfasts were delicious and they had free water, tea, and coffee. They really put their guests' needs first and made sure everyone was happy. Best place in the area by far!
Felt so well taken care of, couldn't find anything to complain about.

The staff were incredible, offering us money back for breakfast without us asking. The pool table was super fun and the beds were amazingly comfy with outlets and lights at each bed. The location was perfect, close to bus stops and the beach for easy exploring. Superb!

Loved the air conditioning, made it bearable in the scorching heat. The shared kitchen was great, I could whip up my own snacks. And the garden was lovely, felt like a princess in my own little oasis.
The WiFi was so fast, I couldn't keep up with all the notifications. Unbelievable!

We had an amazing stay at Layover Bnb! the owner, Adif, was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. the breakfast provided was absolutely delicious. the hostel is brand new, so everything is clean and comfortable. the location is also great, just a short 5-minute walk to the beach and bus station. Highly recommend staying here!
It was all superb! 😊

Great location, close to the beach and bus station. the owner was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast provided was delicious. the hotel seemed to be brand new, so everything was clean and comfortable.
No hot water for showers, but since the weather was hot it wasn't a big issue. the wifi didn't work because of unpaid bills, and there were also quite a few flies in the area.

Our stay at Layover Bnb was absolutely worth the money. The room was spacious and comfortable, with big and cozy beds. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and bus station. The staff treated us with utmost friendliness and were always ready to assist us.
The breakfast menu could have been more varied and delicious, though it was still satisfactory.

Layover Colombo has a great location, friendly staff, and comfortable beds. The hostel also has a very nice atmosphere with excellent vibes. The AC works well, even in the common area, and there is a pool table and dining table for socializing. The Wi-Fi is reliable, and the hostel offers free water, tea, and coffee. I highly recommend Layover Colombo to everyone.
There was nothing I didn't like.
