A continental breakfast is available at the hostel. At Lost & Found - Colombo you will find a restaurant serving local, Asian and international cuisine. Vegetarian, halal and vegan options can also be requested. The staff was nice, thoughtful and flexible. They allowed us to check in at 10am after our long haul flight which was a game changer for us. The house is charming, facilities are clean (we had our own toilet and shower in the common bathroom)
