Dip N Doze, hotel in Ahangama

Dip N Doze is located on the beachfront in Ahangama, a 13-minute walk from Kabalana Beach and 0.9 miles from Ahangama Beach.

I liked that the rooms are located centrally in Ahangama only a short walk away from beach side cafes. You can see the ocean from the rooms.

Surfing Wombats, hotel in Ahangama

Located in Weligama, a 2-minute walk from Midigama Beach, Surfing Wombats has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Incredibly amazing staff. I felt like they really cared for me and that they would take care of me no matter what I needed. The community there was amazing as well. Very friendly travelers, lots of great activities from open mics to ping pong tournaments to board game nights. Great location near some solid surf. Comfortable queen beds in the dorms! Amazing pizza and even a projector room where we had cozy movie nights!

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.

    Brilliant location for beach, train station, buses, cafes etc. Roof terrace where you can watch the sunset over the sea and look over Ahangama high street. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was large, had everything we needed (table, chair, hooks). You also had access to washing machine and kitchen. Accommodation is really budget friendly especially considering the great location. Easy to find and get to.

    such a nice hostel- only 10 beds in the whole place, it has a family feel and the beds are wider than a normal twin. the staff are really easy going and there is a restaurant upstairs that is a nice place to eat and chill in and watch the ocean. most of the rooms just have one bunk bed in them so you can sleep really well without any noise! About 10 minutes drive from Weligama and Ahangama as well as a 10 minute walk to Midigama.

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in - you need anything from food to a scooter to a bus to Ella they’ll help you and even wait at the bus stop with you (Not guaranteed lol). Events are organised most days and they’re great fun, the people at Yoyos make it special though. Wish them all the best and strongly recommend you book longer than you need because you’ll end up extending anyway

    No doubt this is the best hostel in the country to settle down for a while, get to know people and have a really good time. Location is perfect and it is run by amazing people. Among all my travels, this is one of the most special hostels i ever visited (if not the most). Just go there!!!
