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.

    Great location and on the same premises there is a nice (but a bit expensive) vegan cafe. The staff was very young and hanging around the place, communicating with the guests all the time, hostel vibe.

    Wake Up Hostel was my favourite Hostel in Sri Lanka so far. The social vibe is great and you can easily get to know new people. There is social activities every day, the location is 5 minutes from the beach and it's a bit off of the main road so you don't here the traffic. In addition the Host is super cool and takes part in most hostel activities. The dorm room was spacy, clean and there was a wooden Box to store your important stuff. If you want to to experience something you should definitely go here.

    The hostel is runned by volunteers and they make a great job! They are kind, friendly and make you feel like home!! The building is very nice, has an amazing rooftop and it’s located in a quiet neighbourhood. You have the option to ask a local family to cook you sri lankan lunch, dinner or breakfast for a good price. And if you want to meet new people, don’t hesitate!

    This homestay is perfect if you are looking to stay in a private room but still want to save money. It is very basic but it has everything you would need and a great location. If you are a traveler on a budget I would definitely recommend this place as it is the same price as a hostel but you can get more privacy and don’t have to sleep in a dorm…
