I had the best time at The Well so I came back here 4 times during my trip!! The owners do the most to ensure a great stay. It is not a party or super social hostel but the atmosphere is super laid-back and together with the beautiful pool area, it is the perfect place to relax. The price for the dorms is very reasonable as they are very clean, the beds are very comfortable and have curtains. I have met the best people at this place and would always come back here. Danke nochmal Eric!

This place is special. Musa, Samer and Ahmed made me feel at home from the first moment. They are great guys, caring and attentive, ready to help you and happy to share their fantastic Palestinian cuisine (some of the best food I have ever eaten). It is a special experience to know their stories, and to be immersed in an impeccable hostel with lots of reminders of their land. The rooms are spacious, clean, modern. So are all the communal areas (from the fantastic terrace where we eat and chat together, to the yoga area with a view). The level of hospitality is very high, and everything is taken care of down to the last detail. Each dormitory also has its own little terrace and they offer yoga classes in the morning, special offers for massages and diving. Thank you for making my last days in Sri Lanka different and special. You are unique! Highly recommended, don't miss the chance to spend time in the best hostel (and restaurant) in Sri Lanka with these three warm, open hearted and fun people.

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.

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!
