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.

I stayed here on my last day in Sri Lanka to leave for the airport.The rooms are very clean and good. All basic toiletries were available and it was all you need on your transit days.The host was very kind n friendly, helped with early morning tuk tuk for 1500.He also gave good suggestions for eateries nearby which were super convenient and budget friendly.I highly recommend this place 🙂..Airport is just 15 min away and I was traveling solo n felt safe n comfortable here.
