I loved every single moment in this hostel. After coming from India I neededba cool place close to the beach with amazing chill vibes. Wanted only to stay one day, ended up several nights! The vibe, the people and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Rooms were neat, clean and very comfortable. Special thanks to Maria, Dinusha and Roma! Amazing staff people that made my stay waaaaay better, sharing their food and beautiful friendship with me! Always with an amazing smile ❤️ thank you so much! I'm coming back with no doubt very soon

Very new hostels, beds are good and include curtains and airco. By far the owner is the best. He arranged everything for me; including Sri Lankan drivers license. Owner takes the extra mile; both in facilities; as service.

All hostels in Mount Lavinia

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.

The staff of the hostel was super friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I was in a dorm but I had the room for myself. It has AC and it is super clean. The rooms are big, comfy and renovated. Breakfast was also included, it's a super good deal for the price!

If you are a seasoned backpacker, you will appreciate this hostel. If not, you may find it basic. But the staff were incredible, so helpful and lovely. No hot water but you don’t really need it with the temperatures.

Maria is an excellent host and always ready to help. The hostel is located really near to the beach and has good rooms. The common area specially the roof top is really pretty. You can stay here if you want to meet new people and have some fun parties.
