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.

He toured me around and really helped me a lot when I lost my camera. They also served very nice food especially for dinner. Kostha built everything on his own, he's so hardworking and really kind. If you need a chill place to stay this is the perfect place.

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. I love their cabin consepts! So fun and authentic. Everything was comfy and clean. Its not that far from the rocks, i dont mind walking. Everyone was very nice and lovely, we looked tired upon arriving and they brought us tea to settle down before checking in. They helped alot with booking reasonable priced tuktuks which is nice consider the locals always try to up the price to tourists.
