Sigiri Birds Hostel, hotel in Sigiriya

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.

I really like that vibe. Sanju does that hostel very well. Breakfast was great. The owners arrange everything easy for us. Safaris, tuk tuk tours, everything. They are very friendly. Such a great place for us to party at night. I recommend you this is a great place to have fun with your friends and nice to meet new friends.

Dinna Nature Hostel, hotel in Sigiriya

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 🙏🏼🥰

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.

    Beautiful property in a serene setting. I felt a calmness come over me as soon as I arrived having initially been a bit nervous as a first time solo traveller. Every staff member is kind and attentive, often suggesting additions to your travel route or tips for making life a little easier! Roy and Roshun are open to suggestions and are actively trying to make this the best hostel

    The location is great, near restaurants and main attractions of Sigiriya. The place is safe and the owner was very kind. He came everyday to see us and made sure we got evertyhing we need. He helped us booking safari and it was cheaper than on internet. His driver was excellent. On check out day, we were supposed to take train. Due to strike, no train. He took 5 hrs of his time to drove us at the new destination. Thank you so much !!!!!

    Service was exceptional- the owner even gave me a lift to an ATM and helped arrange transport. Breakfast was alright too. The overall vibe is very nice and it’s close to a big hostel that has a bar and organises cheap excursions you can join. Location is a bit far from everything - but if you know that before coming it’s fine. Also had dinner at the restaurant. Food was alright but waiting time quite long.

    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

    Just perfect - Roy has been able to build this amazing backpackers heaven offering different activities, family dinners all to produce a form of community! It is obviously not the cheapest hostel you can find but to be honest, it is completely worth it: the beds are extremely confortable, and Roy and his team will usually go out of their way so that you have a pleasant stay ❤️ I can’t thank them enough for this really great stay
