Super chill, social backpacker vibe. We played cards and listened to music all day in between the sunset and sunrise hikes. Sunset hike is not to be missed. Phenom breakfast To know: - 4 bed room’s door has to be slammed to shut. Not a room for light sleepers - only ensuite bathrooms, no common bathrooms - if you get laundry done, make sure you get all you clothes back. One article of clothing I noticed was missing while there and got it back, one I didn’t and will be difficult to repl...

We had such a great time at the travellers hostel! The location is close to Sigiriya’s centre, so you can easily explore the area. Having an en-suite bathroom is a luxury you don‘t always get while backpacking, so we really enjoyed that! The included breakfast was so delicious!! The owner is super nice and we had so much fun hanging around the hostel with him and other guests. If you want to get some recommendations you can always come up to him and he will help you or even organize a safari...

I had such a good time here and would've stayed longer if I had known how much I was going to enjoy it. Dil was such a great host and really made it a great stay with his good advice and good chats. On top of that, the breakfast was superyummy!

It was the nicest stay ever and the best hostel you could pick in Sigyria! The rooms are quite cute and have curtains! The bathrooms are also alright but what this place makes so special is the staff, especially Dill who makes your stay unforgettable! It felt more like friends hanging out 🫶🏻 also the breakfast is AMAZING! and the atmosphere was great, I wanted to stay even longer!

Nice hostel. The staff were really friendly. It's located right on the main road. There was construction noise during the day but overall the hostel is good.

The most amazing friendly staff I’ve ever had at a hostel! Clean, spacious, family feel, great free breakfast, has a guitar, amongst nature. No downsides except WiFi being a bit average sometimes

i am so glad i stayed at this hostel. i started my sri lanka trip here and met so many travellers who ended up being my friends for the rest of the month. the beds are comfy, there are hot showers, and the staff goes above and beyond. the free breakfast was my favorite -- always a wonderful variety. the location is perfectly situated in town.

Had an amazing stay at The Travellers Hostel. Dil is an absolute legend super open communicative and always ready to help with anything from local tips to organizing plans. He creates such a warm atmosphere that you instantly feel like part of the family. Evenings were unforgettable playing cards until 4am with arrack good music and endless laughs. Perfect social vibe great energy and real backpacker spirit. Would come back anytime.
