Property Description

Backpack Lanka is located at the heart of Colombo, Colombo 03, Colpetty to be exact which is about 40 minutes from the main international airport.

Right on R. A. de Mel Mawatha (also known as Duplication Road) we’re a located on one of Colombo’s busiest roads, across from Liberty Plaza (shopping mall which also incidentally houses the largest food mall in SL), right next to a bus stop and brisk 10 minute walk away from the Colpetty train station ready and waiting to wisk you away on your next adventure.

Our rates are incredibly competitive for what is offered – a place to rest your tired head at the end of a long day of walking about and exploring. While we want to make it clear that all you get is a safe environment with clean beds and fresh linens we find it imperative that we also provide you with some creature comforts to ensure your time off doesn’t take you too far back in time! Our beautiful common room is fully air conditioned, has a big screen TV, free 4G WiFi (for you to spread the word about BPL), dining tables, a few kitchen utensils and a microwave to heat up a delicious snack (which you should feel free to share!).

We hope to make BPL a point in Colombo where travelers, like yourself, will have an opportunity to meet others sharing similar interests, bond over those interests whatever they may be.

This place is terrible. We are ending a 6 month trip around south east Asia, we have been in over 50 hostels/hotels and this one is by far the worst. We had two nights booked, and the only reason we stayed the first is because we arrived from the airport at 11.30pm and was too late to go anywhere else. We left the next day. The rooms are dingy and and smell terrible of damp. The showers didn’t work and kept going off and the whole place looks like an old office block that is falling down and they’ve put som

A perfect wee place to touch down from the Airport. Right in the centre and has everything within walking distance. If you are up early you can also have a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast with the guys which was a nice wee treat.

Room is basic but you can’t expect much more for the price.
