Dinna Nature Hostel, hotel in Dambulla

Located in Sigiriya, 4.2 miles from Sigiriya Rock, Dinna Nature Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Dinna's Nature Hostel is a little oasis on the outskirts of Sigiriya. The dorm room was very clean and comfortable and had so many lovely decorative touches that made it feel very homely. Dinna and his wife are so friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure everyone was happy and having a good stay. The food in the restaurant was SO delicious and the breakfast was amazing - fresh juice/smoothie, egg, toast and a banana pancake. If you're looking for somewhere chilled and comfortable to stay and are happy being a bit outside of Sigiriya, this is definitely the place to be!! Thanks again for a wonderful stay 🙏🏼🥰

Sigiri Birds Hostel, hotel in Dambulla

Located in Sigiriya, one mile from Sigiriya Rock, Sigiri Birds Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

I stayed here for 4 nights and ı definitely recommend. They helped me about transportation, laundry, trips.. The breakfast was included, ıt was really good and the portions are really big. The owner of the place and especially her wife they’re really friendly. I was not even going out for dinner, ı was eating at the hostel(she cooks). It feels like a homestay. I’m really happy that ı stayed here on my Sigiriya time.

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 location is safe, and very calm. This is a little piece of paradise in the middle of Dambulla, very well located and near to the Golden temple. The owner is soooo nice, his family is lovely, her wife is a real chef: we had breakfasts and dinner and everything was delicious. Rooms are spacious, with balcony and A/C. Nice rooftop also. We recommend 10000%

    I recommend this hostel for the adventurous family and traveller. I found it looking for accommodation near busy holiday weekend and what a gem. Clean, safe, fresh bed linen (pillow cases, sheets and duvets on bunk beds).
