Staff super friendly - gave me a complimentary beer on arrival. They arranged dinner for me which was very tasty and large serve! I onto stayed a few hours but it was a perfect place to stop and rest rather than wait at the airport.

Before arrival we received very good communication with all info about our pick up at the airport. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. The room was very clean and everything was there for a quick sleep before leaving to our next destination. Can only recommend.

The owner was so helpful and really did me a big favour by letting me check in so late in the night after getting a flight that landed at 2am. Very comfortable stay and short ride away from the airport. Thank you so much!

I liked everything about this hostel! It is the perfect hostel to start or/and end your trip. * The staff is superfriendly and willing to help. The owner wants you to have a good time and is always trying to improve. * The rooms are clean, spacious and look beautiful. Because of the way it is build, you have a lot of privacy. * The bathroom and toilet are new and clean. There is hot water! * The location is perfect. Close to the beach and road with shops and restaurants. But the surrounded area is quiet and it has a nice garden. * The pool and SeaHorse Hotel and Spa. * The restaurant Tuk Tuk Wine and Dine serves amazing food and has live music 5 days a week. I can really recommend you to go. Enjoy 😀

What I love most about Sky Hostel is its peaceful location, tucked away from the main road. Whether it's day or night, you're free from the noise of traffic and can truly relax. But what truly makes Sky Hostel special, and why I always want to stay longer, is its atmosphere. It feels like home. The people who pass through here come from all walks of life, each on their own journey. For a brief moment, our paths cross. Some we may never meet again, others become lifelong friends, and a few leave lasting imprints on our hearts. Sky Hostel isn’t just a place to stay in transit, it's a space where you find new family. If you’re someone on a journey of self-discovery, I wholeheartedly recommend making Sky Hostel your starting point. It’s a gateway to meaningful connections and soul friendships. Additionally, there’s the Sky Café, my go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As a vegetarian, it’s rare to find food that tastes this good. Every meal feels like a celebration, flavorful, comforting, and energizing. So here’s my slogan for Sky Hostel: "Sleep like thunder, connect like lightning, and live life to the fullest.

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.

Great location near airport! Ashan made sure I could arrive safely late at night and gave me heaps of advice on getting around Sri Lanka. I came back again at the end of my time in the country and he was super helpful in making sure I got to the airport in the early morning! The room was nice and clean. Lovely stay thank you so much!!!
