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.

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

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.

Kostha was really nice and helped me a lot from the very beginning. He toured me around and really helped me a lot when I lost my camera. They also served very nice food especially for dinner. Kostha built everything on his own, he's so hardworking and really kind. If you need a chill place to stay this is the perfect place.

Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Sigiriya, AnotherWorld Hostel Sigiriya is an oasis of tranquility and adventure. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with the warmest hospitality by the incredible staff. The hostel exudes a cozy and welcoming ambiance, making me feel like I was among friends. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable. They were always available to offer recommendations, arrange tours, and share their knowledge of Sri Lankan culture. The highlight of my stay was the delicious and varied breakfast spread. Each morning, I was treated to a different culinary delight, including traditional Sri Lankan dishes such as rice and curry, kottu, fried rice, and coconut roti. The food was absolutely mouthwatering! Special mention must be made of Maliya, the manager, who possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Sri Lanka. His passion for his country and his dedication to providing guests with an unforgettable experience were truly inspiring. I felt like I had made a lifelong friend during my stay. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, AnotherWorld Hostel Sigiriya has something for everyone. The hostel offers a range of activities, including guided hikes, cooking classes, and cultural tours. The location is also ideal, with Sigiriya Rock and other popular attractions nearby.

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.
