Situated in Anuradhapura, within 700 metres of Anuradhapura Railway Station and 1.8 km of Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, Chill House Hostel features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 1.8 km from Nature Park Anuradhapura, 3.3 km from Kada Panaha Tank and 3.5 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. I enjoyed every second at the hostel. The place is nicely decorated, people are friendly. I love the backyard. It’s like a little jungle with squirrels and birds. And across the backyard is the lake where you can enjoy beautiful sunrise and more birds. Definitely the best choice if you want to get to know more about Anuradhapura’s local lifestyle and close to nature.

At the hostel, the rooms have a patio with a garden view. Every room includes a safety deposit box and certain rooms will provide you with pool views. The units at Funk Bunks - Sigiriya feature air conditioning and a desk. There was a pool in the bedroom of the king suite, which was amazing, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I also enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner that was included.

Situated in Sigiriya, within 1.5 km of Sigiriya Rock and 4.7 km of Pidurangala Rock, The Travel Tree Hostel features accommodation with a garden and as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is located 2.7 km from Wildlife Range Office - Sigiriya, 3.4 km from Sigiriya Museum and 14 km from The Forgotten Temple Kaludiya Pokuna. The accommodation provides room service and a 24-hour front desk for guests. Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at during my time in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and comfortable, breakfast was always delicious, and the one dinner I had there turned out to be the best meal of my trip — tasty, generous, and great quality. What really made it special was the people. Maliya was so kind and helpful, always there if I needed anything. He even took me to a beautiful sunset spot nearby and walked me to the bus stop when I checked out. Those small gestures really meant a lot and made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!
