The structure is perfect! Once you enter you will never want to leave! The owner is the kindest and most altruistic person you will meet during your trip. All the staff are super helpful (they picked us up at the station and picked us to the main road several times) The services are always clean, the kitchen is very spacious and well served, the owner has also provided tea and several infusions for every need, all of high quality. Relaxing outside will be a must! More than in a hostel I felt like I was staying in a 5-star hotel !! 😍 The owner also made us do meditation and for my birthday they also organized a wonderful surprise, I couldn’t ask for anything better, we felt like family, we can’t wait to come back!

All! Everything is so great. They have curtains in all bunk beds, AC is working properly and the bathroom is so clean. Best place to stay around Ahangana. The location where it is located is calm but 10 min walk from the center. Pool are is so good to relax, chill and read a book.

I had a very good stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, close to Kabalana Beach, which made it easy to get around. Overall, it was a nice experience and good value for the money. I would be happy to stay here again.

Albert

From

Austria

A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.

It is a good place to rest, pass by a tuk tuk if you want to go to the beach or you can get there on foot in about 15 minutes.

I stayed at Omnia a total of about 3 weeks. I loved everything about the place. It was super clean, well maintained, the cafe was AMAZING. I tried almost everything on the menu and there was not one thing that I did not love. The best part of this place by far was the staff. This place is run by a group of awesome, caring, helpful, and genuinely kind guys. Everything from scooter renting, surf lessons, taxi booking, to even suggestions about beaches and local places were helped with by these guys. The staff are the reason I spent most of my Sri Lanka trip at this hostel. Rooms have AC, Bathrooms and showers are very clean. I am a hot shower person so I was a little worried about that not being available at Omnia, but honestly I didn't even feel it was needed because it's so hot outside anyways! When I finally left it felt like I was leaving a place that became home to me and the staff made me feel like I was family to them. I will 100% be coming back to Omnia to stay next time I come to Sri Lanka!

Stefan

From

The hostel was very clean especially the washrooms and it was definitely value for money since the location was central to all the attractions I wanted to visit. The hostel included an old age arrack bar which was a great addition as I was traveling by myself. Highly recommend this place as it is convenient and provides great accommodation and hospitality for affordable prices.
