Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at during my time in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and comfortable, breakfast was always delicious, and the one dinner I had there turned out to be the best meal of my trip — tasty, generous, and great quality. What really made it special was the people. Maliya was so kind and helpful, always there if I needed anything. He even took me to a beautiful sunset spot nearby and walked me to the bus stop when I checked out. Those small gestures really meant a lot and made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

I had an amazing experience at Sigiri Serenity Hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality and helpful local tips. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it the perfect peaceful getaway near Sigiriya Rock. The common areas are great for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers, and the home-cooked meals were absolutely delicious — some of the best food I had in Sri Lanka! The location is ideal: quiet, yet just a short bike ride away from Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala. Whether you're solo, with friends, or a couple, this hostel has everything you need for a memorable and comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The place is impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of his way to ensure a pleasant stay and offering great tips for local attractions. The traditional breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious – a perfect start to the day! The hostel is located in a peaceful area, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere, yet still close enough to everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and quiet place to stay. We would definitely come back!

The Hostel is amazing. The beds are Huge and have the best mattress all over Sri Lanka. I enjoyed my stay a lot. Bathroom was clean, stuff was very friendly and the food was really delicious. They organized us a tuktuk to go to the sunrise hike and also make sure to answer all of your questions. Thank you a lot!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
