JJ's Hostel Mirissa, hotel in Mirissa

Showcasing an expansive rooftop terrace with day-beds and barbecue, JJ's Hostel Mirissa is a boutique hostel and guest house located in Mirissa North, only a few minutes' walk from Mirissa Beach.

The room was big and the bed and pillows were super comfy. The aircon and fan were excellent and needed in the 35 degree heat. Walking distance to everything and lots of group activities organised which I really enjoyed. Yoga every morning was a highlight. The pool was also lovely to hang out in and around. Pretty quiet at night and in the mornings.

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.

    We had a great couple of nights here. It’s very cheap, so doesn’t have many extras but it’s clean and in a great location only a few minutes from the beach. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was fantastic.

    Great location across the street from the beach, lots of shops and restaurants at your doorstep. Doesn’t offer breakfast but a really nice locally run restaurant just at the gates which we went to every morning, delicious food and friendly staff. Large, clean too with AC and fan. Budget friendly.

    We moved here from another property within Mirissa that wasn’t what it was advertised - the owner was able to accommodate us at short notice, great location walking distance to all of the main cafes/restaurants, near to our favourite (Junction Cafe and Gedara Curry). Really clean, excellent air con and quiet at night (road fairly busy until 7-8pm but not much after this) We booked into the budget double room which didn’t have a fridge, but staff were more than happy to let us use fridge over the road in the kitchen

    Great location in Mirissa, such a friendly family-run hostel. Room had air conditioning and was really clean and nice. Even got a welcome drink on arrival and could leave our bags early. Best value for money place we stayed in Sri Lanka.
