I only stayed for one night, but I enjoyed it. The bed was comfortable and pretty big, there’s a big locker for all the stuff. Breakfast was really good and the worker Dinidu very friendly and helpful. The beds had mosquito nets but since it’s a mixed dorm, curtains would’ve also been good.

One of the staff here is friends with the people down the street who have a CHAINED elephant right on the side of the road. They keep this elephant here, giving only giving it food or water sparingly. The fact the staff are friends with this guy tells me all I need to know about their values and morals - that is why I will not stay with them again.

We spent 3 nights at this hostel and our stay was excellent value for money considering the price of the double room + breakfast included! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Location is excellent and within walking distance to some great restaurants and of course the Lion Rock.

My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was a lovely hostel. The rooms were nice, the shower was clean and the hosts were amazing. If you had a question they are there to answer it, they will give you tips for what to do in the surrounding area and they will help you arrange day trips, they are the best. The breakfast was included and this was so good! I will really recommend this place and I would stay here again!

I had a wonderful stay here. The two staff members were incredibly attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. They provided great local sightseeing tips and even recommended a fantastic local eatery nearby. Their kindness stood out—they were flexible with breakfast times and even prepared a packed lunch for me. The room was brand new, very clean, and spacious for a private room, offering great value for the price. I especially loved the pleasant scent of incense they lit every day. Hav...

This is a new hostel but wow is it worth giving it a go!! Super modern and decorated perfectly. It’s in great proximity to loads of restaurants and also lions rock. I wish I could have stayed here longer, the garden area is perfect for meeting people.

We loved our stay Hello Aliya it was very good value for money in the area. Room was basic but it’s all you need. Staff were very helpful and so friendly. Breakfast in the morning was lovely and they even packed up a breakfast for us early in the morning when we had to leave. They gave good recommendations for food and surrounding activities as well as supplying tuk tuk for us at good rates. Considering they have been going four months they were really good and im sure will improve in the futu...

We had a great stay at Hello Aliya, would highly recommend. The staff are very professional and kind, it’s an ideal location for the main strip in Sigiriya, they have a nice outside area for relaxing and the breakfast was lovely.

Dans la chambre privative, le lit est très dur, et il n'y a pas d'eau chaude. Cependant le personnel était très aimable et nous a conseillé des personnes pour faire les sorties à Polonnaruwa et le safari, c'était super.
