The location of the hotel is good. We were happy with it because of one person, and that was Tutu, who works there. He was very helpful because he knew the beautiful places in Sigiriya and showed us around. He was like family to us. We were very happy in Sigiriya because of Tutu. Thank you so much Tutu.❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I spent 2 nights at Elegant elephant and i really enjoyed the place. It's quite, surrounded by nature and the view of the rock from the room is really nice in the morning. The whole place is clean and well maintained. Beds in the room are really comfortable, one of the most comfortable beds in Sri Lanka for me. Owners are also very friendly people, willing to make your stay as good as possible. The food they made for me was absolutely delicious and in big portions. Also, I appreciated the place has WiFi. I recommend this place !

This hostel is without a doubt a perfect place to stay. It has such calm and positive vibes, making it ideal for relaxing. The owner is very kind, welcoming, and always ready with helpful information. Cleanliness is maintained at the highest standard, which adds to the comfort. The breakfast is far above the usual hostel standard—more like what you’d expect in a 3–4 star hotel. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience filled with good energy, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay.

Best place ever!!! The location is just perfect, you are away from the loud and crowded places but still a walkable distance to anywhere, you are surrounded by nature you can also see deers in the morning it’s truly magical! Diwakara and his family are all the sweetest people that take you in and you feel so much at home. The beds are comfortable and the shower is nice and strong, which you don’t get everywhere. The only problem is that you might not want to leave this place EVER. 😆

The breakfast and dinner were amazing, always different and cooked by the owner Costa, also a chef. Costa took us to a safari where we saw 70+ elephants, took me to Pidurangula for the sunrise and gave explainations about everything. Him and his wife are lovely and the place is quiet in the middle of the jungle. You might even see elephants there!

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 common area is very well put together, gives homie-vibes and it's very prone to meet other travelers in the hostel. The staff of the hostel, also, promote a good integration for everybody, organizing certain activities in group that everyone can participate in, like going to the lake, watching sunset in a secret place or doing BBQ Best hostel for backpackers and solo travelers no doubt Ah, and the food is amazing. Excellent really
