About Sri Lanka accommodation

Tips for finding cheap hotels in Sri Lanka

Some places are certainly easier for finding budget-friendly accommodation than others, but luckily there are cheap hotels in Sri Lanka just waiting to be booked by you. Traveloka offers plenty of filtering options when searching to help you find the cheapest stay, whether you’re looking in Sri Lanka or anywhere else in the world. Here’s what to do:

  • Use the “Price range” filter. This can get you results for what you define as “cheap” as what’s budget friendly to you, may not be to someone else. 
  • Next, to make sure stays still meet any minimum expectations, you can also add filters for the star rating and guest rating to make sure you’re seeing the best of the best in Sri Lanka
  • Finally, we offer a “Sort by: Lowest Price” option, so you can see the absolute cheapest price for everything that meets your criteria

When to stay in Sri Lanka for the cheapest hotel prices

It’s best to keep in mind seasonality both where you’re coming from and where you’re going; just because it’s not a holiday for you, doesn’t mean it’s definitely not a holiday in Sri Lanka.

Avoid travelling to Sri Lanka during these times:

  • School holidays: Avoid travelling during school holidays as this is peak season for families on the move
  • Christmas/New Years: A popular time for both families and those with shut-down periods over the holidays, prices tend to soar in late-December and early January
  • Long weekends: Those looking to save on a bit of annual leave or take a short break may head over to Sri Lanka at this time, which increases demand and pricing

Cinnamon Red Colombo
We stayed at Cinnamom Red for only 2 days during the 2019 Xmast holiday, but it was excellent. The room and the bathroom were impeccably clean. The check-in was fast. The breakfast menu was awesome, it gave us opportunity to taste the array of Sri Lankan cuisine. The breakfast staff, Kasun and Bhanuke, were helpful in giving us a bit more insights on the Sri Lankan cuisine and culture. We would definitely stay at Cinnamon Red again if we go to Colombo again. Thank you.

Renuka City Hotel
- The room was small & quite noisy, unfortunately you should wake up much more earlier then planned due to signals & engine sounds from the outside, my room 202 was placed definitely over the road. Also hot water gone to fast. And the price is a bit high for it all + strong wifi connection, comfortable bed, nice rooftop & caring stuff)

Less amenities as e.g. no tooth brush (provided shampoo, hand soap and shower cap only), carpet is too old need thorough cleaning. Lots of noises from service door. No chain lock.

Radisson Hotel Colombo
Check-in was smooth. However, they never checked the request I have made before check in through app and email. Room lacked amenities (didn't had sleepers, bathrobe, toothbrush, towels etc). Breakfast option and taste was average. Swimming pool had nice view.
