I stayed one night at White House & Seafood Restaurant in Hikkaduwa and had a lovely experience. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to rest. The location is excellent, with easy access to the beach and convenient options to walk, catch a tuk tuk, or hop on a bus to reach nearby tourist spots. What really stood out was how warm and welcoming the family was — it’s a genuinely friendly, family-run business that makes you feel at home. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Hikkaduwa.

I can only recommend this hostel if you are looking for a cozy, clean place with good vibes. The hostel has direct access to the beach (practically private) and is convenient to bus stops. On the side you will still find supermarkets and places for primary things. Super clean and well maintained hostel, very relaxing atmosphere! The guy who work there and the owners are wonderful, they make you feel at home. I extended my stay already after the first day I stayed. I hope to return before my departure! :)

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.
