About
Backpack Lanka serves Sri Lanka as a hostel at 247 D R. A. De Mel Mawatha, Colombo 00700, Sri Lanka.
Travellers rate this Colombo hostel 3.9 out of 5, a score drawn from 230 reviews that places it among the capital's established budget addresses. Its position in Colombo puts it within easy reach of the main towns and resorts, with Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay all connected by road and rail from the city. The hostel category suits visitors who want a base in the capital before heading along the coast or into the hills.
The hostel sits on D R. A. De Mel Mawatha in Colombo 00700, a main artery that runs through the city and links the commercial district with the southern suburbs. Colombo itself is the island's largest city and the usual first stop for arrivals at the international airport.
Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean with a central highland mass and coastal plains all around, so journeys between the capital and the hill country take time. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, which can affect transport and opening times.
