Set in Sigiriya, within 4 km of Sigiriya Rock and 5.9 km of Pidurangala Rock, Night Owl Hostel Sigiriya offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 3.2 km from Sigiriya Museum, 11 km from The Forgotten Temple Kaludiya Pokuna and 16 km from Habarana Lake.

Kani is extremely friendly and kind. He did so many things for me!! I also admire his way of thinking—he truly values encounters and connections with people. You can see it not only in his words, but also in his actions. Thank you for the precious experience in Sigiriya!! Highly recommended!!! Some people may think it’s a bit far from Sigiriya Rock, but actually the entrance is on the west side, and I believe this is one of the few places within walking distance around there.

All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Every room is equipped with a shared bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries and slippers. All units at Sigiri Serenity Hostel include air conditioning and a safety deposit box. Lovely stay. This is a newly opened hostel perfect for seeing Sigiriya! It’s only about a 10 minute tuk tuk ride to the rock and about 10-15 minutes walking to some restaurants and shops. This is the cleanest hostel I stayed at in Sri Lanka. You can smell the freshness in the bathrooms and the towels smell so clean. The rooms also have air conditioning. Above all, the family is so personable and kind. The breakfast is also affordable and was so tasty - the best breakfast I had in my one month visit in Sri Lanka. 100% recommend :)
