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. This hostel is without a doubt a perfect place to stay. It has such calm and positive vibes, making it ideal for relaxing. The owner is very kind, welcoming, and always ready with helpful information. Cleanliness is maintained at the highest standard, which adds to the comfort. The breakfast is far above the usual hostel standard—more like what you’d expect in a 3–4 star hotel. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience filled with good energy, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay.
