Super cheap laundry too!

His attitude towards people is genuine and friendly. He made me feel more like the part of the group rather just a tourist which I appreciate a lot as a solo female traveller. And helped me with some advice on my future travels on local buses. Very grateful, thank you. The hostel is cosy and clean with the amazing location. Would highly reccomend.

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.

All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. With a shared bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, rooms at Sigiri Serenity Hostel also provide guests with a garden view. All units at the accommodation include air conditioning and a safety deposit box. We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay
