One aspect that truly set this hotel apart was its commitment to representing true nature. From the moment I stepped outside, I was surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest. The hotel's design incorporated natural materials and elements, such as wood, stone, and greenery, which created a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Complementary Breakfast and dinner was awsome

Lovely stay. This is a newly opened hostel perfect for seeing Sigiriya! It’s only about a 10 minute tuk tuk ride to the rock and about 10-15 minutes walking to some restaurants and shops. This is the cleanest hostel I stayed at in Sri Lanka. You can smell the freshness in the bathrooms and the towels smell so clean. The rooms also have air conditioning. Above all, the family is so personable and kind. The breakfast is also affordable and was so tasty - the best breakfast I had in my one month visit in Sri Lanka. 100% recommend :)

Such a kind and warm welcoming family. Couldn’t have been more helpful. Channa arranged a cooking class for me with a local lady and offered pick up services with his Tuk Tuk. The breakfast made by sister was really good each morning with different traditional Sri Lanka food! Really peaceful place with only a 20min easy stroll to the town. Really loved my time here❤️

Staying at Hello Aliya feels less like a hostel and more like staying at an old friend’s house. The owner Isu is incredibly kind and respectful. The hostel is brand new so everything is incredibly clean. It is situated just off the main road. 2 minute walk to the bus stop, 10 mins walk to the entrance of Lion’s Rock, and a 10 minute drive to Pidurangala peak. I really enjoyed my stay there. As a solo woman, I felt safe and welcomed. The breakfast is lovely and the staff even taught me how to play carrom. After one month of traveling Sri Lanka, this is by far my favorite hostel.

Kostha was really nice and helped me a lot from the very beginning. He toured me around and really helped me a lot when I lost my camera. They also served very nice food especially for dinner. Kostha built everything on his own, he's so hardworking and really kind. If you need a chill place to stay this is the perfect place.

The best place I have stayed in Sri Lanka. Clean rooms and bathrooms, AC and hot water work very well. The food is very tasty. If you want to experience the true taste of Sri Lanka, this is the best place to eat. They have a bar. There are many types of drinks. It is not common in other hostels in Sri Lanka but this hostel is extraordinary. They have many activities. They planned my days in Sigiriya and the work reality was really good.Sunset trips, lake trips and camping trips are the best trips with them. They know a lot of nature. Malia was our guide and he is a perfect guide. He teaches us a lot about the culture and Sri Lanka. And we went on safari to see elephants, we say there are over 200 elephants. and massage therapy. It has been a good massage for my first time. Highly recommend !

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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
