Lovely and welcoming place for a solo traveller. Much nicer location than touristy Sigirya and they will help drop you off at the station by tuktuk. Very unique experience staying in the middle of the jungle and you feel like you're part of a big hostel family :)

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 :)

The place is very clean and accommodating. The beds were comfortable. Channa is a great host. It was like visiting a friend and not just booking a room from a host. He was always available and made great suggestions on what to do during our stay. He is a tuk tuk driver who’s services we used to take us get massages, visit Lions Rock (Unesco world heritage site), take us to an Elephant safari and local authentic restaurants. We got more than a great stay, we had a great experience with this host. I highly recommend his place, we got a lot for our money.

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.

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
