Lock in a great price for Hugging Clouds – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

This hostel is funky, clean and comfortable. The manager is the nicest guy, always happy to help with something, have a chat or a laugh. It’s in a perfect location to do Adam’s Peak. The food is also amazing in their restaurant, with a fabulous view! 100% recommend staying here.

Rebecca, New Zealand

Perfect location to make the hike of Adams Peak. Really nice and the staff was very nice and helpful! We have dinner and breakfast and both were amazing! We highly recommend this place!

Rodrigo, Chile

The place is stylish and perfectly located for a hike to Adam's Peak. The owner was really friendly and told us everything we needed to know on how to climb the mountain. He also drove us to the train station and we had an amazing talk about the country and the people, thank you! The rooms are nice and clean, showers are working and the bed is comfy. Furthermore dinner was freshly prepared and really good, overall we can't think of a better base to climb Adam's peak! PS: I think there is a lot more hikes etc you can do there so even longer stays would be great at hugging clouds.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was absolutely amazing. I would recommend the rotti and the dal. The staff gave us some torches and a map for adams peak. I really recommend staying here.

Dr, Germany

The PERFECT place to stay if you are climbing Adam’s Peak- clean hot shower, comfy bed, amazing view, helpful staff, close to the start of the hike and then a giant delicious breakfast for when you get back 🌞👌🏼

Jessica, Thailand

Set check in time threw us off because we were not able to get there between 1 and 4pm. We had to bang on door until someone came to let us in. A bit of an inconvenience as it was late and we were tired. Not a huge deal. Everything else was great. Basic, clean accomodations that served us well.

Issue with food above which was sorted. Bathroom water pools a bit after a shower and as not so hot in this hills takes longer to dry but if you are careful then won’t slip over.
We stayed here for one night to walk up Adams Peak. It was easy to see on the main road from the bus. About 10 minutes to start on walk up. Welcoming staff and helpful map of where to go for Adams Peak, what time to start, what to bring etc. Rooms are basic but decent and all clean. Shower was warm. Beautiful views from balcony. Quiet from street noise but some building work going on in the day. Still managed to get some sleep before the climb. Dinner was ok but takes quite a while. Miscommunication about a food allergy for my husband which could have resulted in him being quite poorly but they apologised for this and didn’t charge for that dish. Large area for eating and can see where all the food is being prepared fresh. Can shower and have breakfast after the walk which is very appreciated. Helpful information about our onward journey and where to get off the bus/get a tuktuk. Would recommend for stay if doing Adams Peak. Not much else to see in this area otherwise.

Sound proofing is very poor i mean you can hear what is happening is the second floor, in the rooms around and in the hallway. before such a hike you need to rest well and early!
The location is perfect for those planning to hike to the peak. You start your hike from the property which makes it a lot easier since you start at 2 am. They welcomed us with a warm cup of tea and explained everything about the hike. The room is nice with a small balcony
