I had a lovely stay! Such a beautiful green area. The room was very clean and the Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. Sampath and his uncle are so friendly and he gave me a little tour of the fruits and spices in his garden. Thank you!! 🙏

All hostels in Anuradhapura

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

The best hostel I‘ve been so far. Jonti and Hoppsi are great hosts, always making sure everyone is fine. It is a wonderful and very calm place to be and relax. I can highly recommend it!

Cheap hostel, and you get what you pay for, which is obviously fine if you're on a budget! The beds are quite large and each has a strong fan, which is great for the heat. I found the beds very comfortable, vut some people might find the matress too hard/thin. Host is very nice and helpful. Bicycles are available for rent to visit the ancient city. Large lockers available too.

This place is perfect for backpackers, close to the bus station and to the archeological site, there are some places for eating 5min walking. This place by itself is really pretty, chill, quiet, and clean. There is a little kitchen, good wifi, good beds. You can even rent a bike ! As a solo female traveler I felt really safe and the owners were really nice to me, I loved my stay ! Thank you so much again guys, hope to see you again !

owner was so lovely and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable. Nicest hostel beds I’ve stayed in so far, large beds and very private. it’s great location to explore all the history around and right next to a lake which is beautiful at sunset! Definitely recommend especially as such good price!
