The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. My stay at Hello Aliya Hostel Sigiriya was truly amazing from start to finish. The location couldn’t be better — just a few minutes away from both Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala, and also very close to the main town, restaurants, and shops. It’s convenient yet peaceful, surrounded by greenery and a relaxing atmosphere. The room was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated with an aesthetic touch that made it feel warm and homely. The bed was super comfortable, and everything was well maintained. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, a perfect start to the day before exploring. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always ready to help with anything I needed. The owner, Isu, went above and beyond — he arranged a village tour and a Kaudulla safari for me, both of which were incredible experiences that gave me a real taste of local life and nature. The entire hostel has such a good, positive vibe — it feels more like staying with friends than at a hotel. I had such a great time here and will definitely visit again on my next trip to Sigiriya. Highly recommended to anyone looking for comfort, great location, and genuine hospitality!

Tasty free breakfast and dinner for socializing, bar for drinks, organized activities, bike rental, laundry service and nice drivers you can ask for a ride (to Dambulla maybe?). And the best brunch spot called cappuccino bistro in walking distance. This hostel also really went all the way for me on my 27th birthday and organized a surprise birthday party for me with cake and everything! I felt so special and it was so nice of them. The whole stay (3 nights) the staff went all the way for guests. <3

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!

All units at Sigiri Serenity Hostel include air conditioning and a safety deposit box. We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay

Good local restaurants in walking distance also. Dinner served in restaurant cooked by wife of the owners and family, lots of care to create wonderful meal.
Best hostel, I've been to in sri lanka. Felt like part of the family. Nali took us on many adventures tuktuk safaris. We also did a cooking class there,which was amazing and I've learnt a lot. First booked for to night's, extended two times. The dogs are super cute and nalis wife makes the best roti. Thank you for everything, rasta-family!
Best hostel stay I’ve ever had. Would recommend everyone to visit to feel the hospitality of this family. I felt so welcome and relaxed while staying in these beautiful jungle surroundings! The day trips the owner arranged for us were amazing, and it was such a social and good vibe all over.
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
