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. The Hostel is sort of an oasis and a source of relaxation and contemplation, close to a lake, in the busy Anuradhapura. Jonti is such a welcoming, warm-hearted and helpful character who will make your day memorable if you are looking for honest conversations and insights into the ancient city, a certain Buddha-inspired, conscious way of living, and into the local cuisine. It was such a blast and will think about for a long time. You can also rent a bike there.

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!
