Our stay at Chill House Hostel was everything we hoped for and more! Nestled in a tranquil corner of Anuradhapura, this hostel is a hidden gem with a vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The hostel's garden is a serene oasis where you can unwind and spent lazy afternoons after exploring the nearby attractions. However, what truly made our stay exceptional were the kind owners, who with their warm smiles and easygoing nature set the tone for the entire hostel experience. The room and beds were also super cozy and clean, providing a comfortable retreat at the end of each day. If you're seeking a hostel with chilled vibes, and owners who are passionate about creating a memorable experience for their guests, look no further than this place! Our time there was nothing short of magical, and we can't wait to return!

As usual in Sri Lanka, I've been hosted by very kind people who welcomed me with a nice and refreshing lemon juice. They'll do everything they can to make you comfortable. 10 minutes from the rock and his temple, not far from a nice lake. That's a good walk to do in early morning to be fool of good vibes and start a nice day in touch with nature. Here you can take your dinner and rent a bike, and receive good advices to plan your visits around. I had the chance to have the all dormitory for me, great !

A budget-friendly hostel, well located in the city center and right next to a beautiful lagoon. The beds are double, spacious for one person, comfortable, and equipped with a fan, which helps with both the heat and mosquitoes. Guests also have access to a small kitchen, adding to the convenience. The owner is a really nice guy who goes out of his way to make your stay as smooth as possible. He also rents bicycles for exploring the area. The prices are very affordable—1,000 LKR per night and 1,000 LKR for a 24-hour bike rental. Of course, for this price, you shouldn’t expect luxury, but it’s a great place to stay with all the basic facilities you need. I enjoyed my time here, met other travelers, and would definitely recommend it!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Cheap hostel, and you get what you pay for, which is obviously fine if you're on a budget! The beds are quite large and each has a strong fan, which is great for the heat. I found the beds very comfortable, vut some people might find the matress too hard/thin. Host is very nice and helpful. Bicycles are available for rent to visit the ancient city. Large lockers available too.

This place is perfect for backpackers, close to the bus station and to the archeological site, there are some places for eating 5min walking. This place by itself is really pretty, chill, quiet, and clean. There is a little kitchen, good wifi, good beds. You can even rent a bike ! As a solo female traveler I felt really safe and the owners were really nice to me, I loved my stay ! Thank you so much again guys, hope to see you again !

owner was so lovely and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable. Nicest hostel beds I’ve stayed in so far, large beds and very private. it’s great location to explore all the history around and right next to a lake which is beautiful at sunset! Definitely recommend especially as such good price!
