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. There was a pool in the bedroom of the king suite, which was amazing, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I also enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner that was included.

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

Diwakara and his family are all the sweetest people that take you in and you feel so much at home. The beds are comfortable and the shower is nice and strong, which you don’t get everywhere. The only problem is that you might not want to leave this place EVER. 😆
