BED (Bedhostels.com) offers travellers stylish, design-led, safe central and affordable accommodation. Characterised by their cutting-edge design, central locations, creative events, locally-inspired menus and wide range of room options, from private en-suite twins to female-only dorms, each bed hostel offers free Wi-Fi, stylish design and chill-out areas and 24-hour security.

Welcoming, knowledgeable staff are on hand around the clock to provide advice on exploring the local area and other tips for a memorable city stay. Located in an airy 1960s building in the neighbourhood of Park Road, Colombo 5, the design-led Bed Hostels accommodates up to 50 guests across en-suite rooms and dorms. Public spaces include a lively Games room, chill-out reception, free computer stations and large garden that will be used to showcase the work of local artists and musicians.

Rakhil Fernando, founder of Bed Hostels, said: “Our new Colombo property is in a building that has undergone many transformations, from being kindergarten to a United Nations office. Our first Bed Hostel offers our growing customer base a high standard of comfortable and stylish accommodation at an affordable price and just a stone’s throw from all Colombo attractions. Watch out for more Bed Hostels around the island.” This new urban design-inspired hostel joins Bed’s first property in Sri Lanka, situated in Park Road, Colombo 5, and it will cater for the growing number of travellers choosing to explore the Sri Lankan capital. BED Hostels plans to roll out four more properties across Sri Lanka within the next 24 months. Prices in the Bed Hostels start from $ 10. For more information visit bedhostels.com.
