Siril Guesthouse Hostel

謝謝姐姐佈置這麼美好的住宿地方 希望你們未來一切順利

奶茶只喝到一杯

Host was friendly and informative and helped us with the train to Ella. Great breakfast and free tea and coffee

台灣女生嫁左黎Srilanka同老公一齊打理，清潔度唔駛講係一流，亦會熱心解答你既問題同幫你 間房夠乾淨被舖有香味又夠暖，洗手間都係好乾淨，我大推呢間

係市中心大約慢慢行要10-15mins先到, 我個人覺得一啲都唔遠,係岩岩好既既距離

大廳有紅茶可以自己泡，老闆夫妻十分友善，也提供行程安排，讓我們去參觀瀑布和茶廠，和包嘟嘟車，費用十分便宜。 房間有溫暖的棉被

熱水需要久一點才有

They give warm blankets 😌🥰

Yes don’t go here

The room smells of sewage, shower wasn’t working properly, no window and no ventilation. Kitchen also very questionable / not really usable. The owner is just sitting around oddly in front of the kitchen all day. It’s also far out of town so you need to take tuktuk every time to go up and down and it’s hard to find the place. No clear instruction or direction given. WiFi bad / not working too.

Las camas eran cómodas. La ducha salía con fuerza y había agua caliente

Perfecte plaats voor alleen reizen als je een beetje op budget wil letten. Voor een hostel vrij veel privacy, met 8 aparte boxen met een gordijntje voor, voelt als een kleine kamer van 2m2 ;) Vriendelijke host. Op wandelafstand van centrum. Lekker heet water in badkamer, wat zalig is in het iets koudere Nuwara Eliya.

I stayed in a private room that was comfortable, clean, and spacious. The thick duvet was perfect for the cold nights, and the water pressure in the hot shower was excellent. The location is great — just a 10-minute walk from the center. Gayan and his mum are incredibly kind and welcoming. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

El tipo que regenta el sitio es peculiar pero muy servicial. En cuanto al alojamiento es simple pero cómodo para un par de días. Puedes cocinarte o su madre te prepare algo. Tienes nórdicos y agua calentita disponibles porque hace frio en Nuwara Eliya.

Comfy and cozy dorm beds with individual sockets, lovely and knowledgeable hosts and great facilities! I was able to do my washing for free and use the kitchen/fridge at any time. Complimentary tea and coffee is always appreciated too! Highly recommend

Clean, staff is cooerative and organize a tour for me to tea factory.

Nothing

Location is great, just a small walk into town. The host was really helpful with arranging tuktuk and was friendly. It was spacious room, had a huge bed and did the job for a 1 night stay.

Breakfast not included, could pay at the property but seemed expensive for what it was. No hot water, the only window was onto the communal garden so it wasn’t private. Only a few of the plugs worked and we got a small electric shock from one of them. The interior was dated but that seems the general style of the area.

Our stay at this guesthouse was as expected. The bunk room was quiet, clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and gave us some good suggestions for the area. It was great to have kitchen facilities so we could cook our own meals for a change.

The peaceful surroundings, the kind and helpful staff, the setup and spacious hostel

Nothing

Large room, friendly staff who were happy to help, free tea was a bonus! Quiet place away from the noise of main area, hot water, hairdryer was a bonus

The dogs were very noisy at night,

the staff were lovely especially guyan and there was free tea and coffee always and use of the kitchen was super helpful! the beds in the dorm were in pods so you had your own space and was very comfy, thank you for a great stay

It‘s good value for your money

Unfortunately it‘s not social

We stayed in a private room, I really liked how big the room was and super clean, also it was great to have a hot shower. It was a lovely short walk to town. I would recommend.

Nothing

The guesthouse was great and staff were lovely! Beds were some of the comfiest we have experienced on our travels :) We stayed in a private room and it had everything that was needed. The location is great if you don’t want to be directly in the centre (approx. 20 mins uphill walk from centre), but it was what we wanted to get a little calm and quiet and there was a great restaurant right next to the hostel.

Not a downside for us, but this hostel is on the calmer and quieter side so not a party atmosphere - although they do have a common area if travellers did want to mingle!

The location was great, out of the busy central area, but easily walkable even during the night. The bunk bed was really comfortable and the thick duvet was great during the cold nights. The bathroom was clean and had hot water. There are lockers in the room. Complementary tea and coffee are always available. You can do your laundry (the staff helps in the use of the washing machine and they provide the detergent too). No dryer, but everything dried for the next evening despite the cold. WiFi is great in the lobby but not particularly strong in the room.

The only minor thing I didn’t like was the occasional cigarette smell coming in the room.

The place is good and clean. Basic accommodation but it has everything you need. The owner is a really nice and helpful guy which is taking care of the place. It also has a kitchen in case you need it, and a small garden where you can chill. It is very quiet in the area so you can have a good rest.It takes 10 min to walk to the city center. And like 20 min to the bus Station. Very fair price.

Clean, quiet, nice people :)

There are plenty of sockets in the room and it is convenient for charging . It has a washing machine and a place to dry clothes. Very good. The location is quite good, just a short walk to the main street. And surrounding is quiet. There is a hairdryer available. Receptionist boy is nice and kind.

The towels are too old. The water from flushing the toilet tends to splash out when flushing. You have to be careful. There is no enough hot water after a short while when showering at night, so it's more suitable to shower in the afternoon. It is not a big problem. They are not good at cooking. Maybe chef is not there.

Hot water in the shower, lockers, dorm beds had individual curtains, nice and comfy beds, and warm thick blankets. Free laundry and coffee/tea.

The sweet boy at the reception barely speaks English. It's very hard to communicate. He doesn't understand and cannot provide any information. He is always there but gives false information because of his lack of English knowledge. He lied to me that the owner was out in the town for the next 2 hrs when he was just upstairs. The owner acts like he's on drugs, and was quite touchy and intense. I asked him where I could grab something to eat, he said that he was going to. He was complaining about 2 girls who stayed at the hostel the night before, which is unprofessional. He ordered 2 cigarettes but then asked the server to charge me for them since I shared one with him because I decided to go back to the hostel before he finished his beer. I left early because I felt very uncomfortable. Stay away from him if you are a solo female traveler!

Hot shower is nice

Breakfast are very expensive

Very clean, good and friendly staff, and really amazing beds! I definitely recommend this hostel!😍

Nice stay just outside the centre of Nuwara Eliya. Rooms were clean and just like the pictures. The owner is very responsive over message and can help you sort a tuktuk for standard prices. You got proper duvets with the beds since it is cold.

The room didn’t have a proper window and the WiFi connection wasn’t great in some areas.

We loved the accomodation, the shower worked really well and was very hot. The bed was comfortable and had very clean comfy bedding. The access to kitchen and fridge was great. The room also had lots of space.

slight walk into the main area but very easy walk

Every thing

Nothing

I had a fairly comfortable stay. Private bunks, pretty empty dorm except for another person, nice hot shower, and nice location - a little outside of the city which made it more peaceful but still walking distance. Most importantly, hosts were very kind!

I didn't see anyone smoking, but it smelled like someone was smoking right outside the room. No mosquito nets, which I found to be a must in Sri Lanka, otherwise one or two are gonna wake you up at night.

Gayan the owner of the guest house is a great guy. He made tours with me and even go out at night with his friends having fun. His mother is so polite and doing the breakfast always with a smile on her face. I felt home. Thank you Gayan for everything. You got a friend on me 👍

This is a great hostel in Nuwara. The place is brand new and it was super clean. Plus, the owner and his mother were super welcoming. Highly recommended!!!!

Good location in a quiet area. Comfortable bed, everything was clean and friendly staff. Everything was perfect

friendly owners, and they'd help you with anything. there's free tea and coffee 24/7, full kitchen, clean bed and sheets

no complains

Gayan, the host, was super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The guesthouse has a very "Youth Hostel" vibe, we met 2 other travellers straight away with whom we shared stories and tips from the trip. Gayan advised us on how to get public transportation and where to go in Nuwara Eliya. Plus the hostel is quite close to the city center, within walking distance. We really liked it that we could make coffee and tea at all times. There was really nice warm water in the shower, which we appreciated because the weather was chilly and the room was a bit cold. The duvet was awesome to keep us warm since it was cold at night and there is no heating, obviously. The room is clean and the bedding quite new.

The room is very basic, the walls that face the garden are made of a thin metal material, they are not real brick walls, luckily it wasn't noisy at all. In the bedroom there is barely any room to put your clothes and stuff, only a desk and a chair, no closet, no bedside tables and no window. There is a clothes rack with a few hangers but it is not enough. Also there was just ONE socket for the whole room. The tuck tuck driver that they recommended to take us to the tea factory cost us 6K rupees for about half a day (about 4/5hours) but he wasn't the nicest, I think you can get a cheaper price if you find it yourself, or at least a friendlier driver for that price.

Simple but sufficient hostel. Very affordable and room was basic but all we needed.

The hostel is down some very steep steps

The pods were very fancy and cozy, they had a washing machine and iron, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The shared bathroom required some cleanliness and stairs to access the location( I was injured so it was difficult for me to access it)

I will as already lucky with my TukTuk driver from the train station because he was the neighbor and going tours to. Gayan, the son of the place, was so great! He joined on my tour and explained a lot. There is a little kitchen, where you can do your own breakfast, what I really enjoyed! It's a bit outside but ok to walk.

I had the most comfortable stay in Sri lanka at this hostel. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were warm. Also the owners are very nice and welcoming. There was unlimited free tea and coffee which is a nice touch. With a well equipped kitchen and a nice common area, it felt like i got a small home in Nuwara Eliya.

1 bathroom for 8 people is inconvenient. The fact that the windows don’t close fully can be a bit inconvenient for light sleepers.

Amazing host, helped us organizing all the trips around Nuwara Eliya (p.e. Tuktuk to tea farms, Trip to Adam‘s Peak) for very good prizes. Super friendly staff in general. Beds were warm and comfy, shower was super hot! Very good food.

Absolutely loved this place! Was meant to stay for 1 night but extended for one more. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood, the facilities are great and the hosts are lovely. Give Pizza some scratches from me when you’re there 🥰

I highly recommend this hostel for anyone staying in Nuwara Eliya. The hosts are incredibly kind and went out of their way to help me book an amazing tuk-tuk tour, where I got to see breathtaking waterfalls, stunning viewpoints, and a fascinating tea factory. The beds were very comfortable and warm, perfect for the cooler temperatures in Nuwara Eliya. The breakfast was also excellent. Overall, a great value for the price. Definitely a top choice for your stay!

Comfortable beds, free towels,tea+coffee, helpful owners who helped organise trips, hot shower.

Not much atmosphere but they are in the process of building other rooms so hostel seems quiet with guests.

Very nice place Quiet and well organized Very kind owners, always around to help

Very good attention all time and such good conversations with Gayan. Although it is cold outside, the rooms are well conditioned and there is hot water. You can cook if you want inside the house, in our case we really wanted yogurt with oatmeal! And THE BEST THING, without any doubt, the little dog “Pizza” with her teeth out. Don't forget to feed her, she is a little ball of love.

The room is a little bit wet inside. Just a little bit and probably because we stayed in monzoon season.

The bed and blanket were amazing! Gets a bit chilly at night in Nuwara Eliya, but there were zero issues with that thanks to the comforter! Location is nice and just enough outside of town to give some peace and quiet, but not so far that you need to worry. Host couple were very sweet and did all they good to help you feel at home.

Nothing, just know that if you have a larger luggage, you will need to carry it down a decent set of stairs to get to the property!

The best! I loved to stay there, free coffee and tea with opportunity to cook if you need it and importantly you can do your laundry here for free. The staff are very kind, passionate and the most honest people I've met in Sri Lanka. I really appreciated everything you did for me, from going hiking together, showing me Nuwara Eliya and helping me with other tasks. The room is big, comfortable with a big bed and warm blanket. Just go there, you won't regret it. Thank you for everything and hope to see you soon!

Really nice and beautiful area and the hostel is clean and good for relaxing. They have a kitchen with everything which was lovely

Was a quiet and peaceful place. Friendly staff too

Would love if there was a possibility to make tea and things in our own bedroom

The property is New, hence very tidy and very beautiful. The kitchen is fully loaded with everything one may need to cook whatever. The beds aren't bunk beds but pods, which makes them comfortable and cosy, the mattress is very comfortable.

N/A

The place is very clean and confy and people there very friendly. Not in the center but not that far, you can reach center walking!

Nothing

Comfortable beds. Dorm is set up like pods instead of bunk beds so you have more privacy. Sockets to charge in each unit plus lockers. Host is very helpful with information and booking what you need. Guesthouse is modern, clean and a good value. Located in a quieter area away from the bustle of the city but still very close to walk.

Curtains on dorm beds could be a little wider to provide full coverage. (Minor suggestion)

Very clean room. Big comfortable bed. Bathroom with the best shower and a curtain. We could use the well equipped kitchen very you find all plates, spices and tools you need. Host are super friendly and gave great tipps for the surrounding. It is 15min to the city but easy going. We would definitely come back.

Really nice and clean place, just a short walk away from Nuwara Eliya town centre. The beds were definitely the most confortable of my Sri Lanka trip. There is a nice seating area both inside and outside, with free(!) coffee and tea. Shower was also very nice and clean.

The shared room could do with a new toilet seat.

Friendly and very helpful staff that made sure we had everything we needed. Even made breakfast for us before we haded to Horton Plains at 5 am. Very clean accomodation in a quiet neighborhood.

The whole place is amazing. You sleep well because of the shape of the beds. It's comfy. Everything is clean. There is a well equipped kitchen. A garden. A common area. Best hostel in Sri lanka.

Great location, a little bit out of the city. 5 min walk to the centre. Super clean, incredibly comfortable beds that provide some privacy with a curtain, cozy outside area, hot shower and great helpful owners! Loved it here, would 100% go back :)

Quiet place and fantastic owners.

I loved having a kitchen to cook in. The capsule beds were very comfortable and had thick, warm blankets. The owners are very helpful and kind.

It is about a 20 minute walk outside of town. This wasn’t an issue for me at all, just something to be aware of.

The hosts are both so nice and welcoming, they helped me a lot such as booked a tuktuk to Horton National Park and told me how to take a bus from Eliya to Ahangama. The bed is really comfortable and warm.

Lovely guesthouse that has clean, spacious rooms with a good value. There is a common area where you can eat your meals and hang out. The kitchen can also be used by guests, we cooked almost all our meals there. It is about a 10 minute walk into town. The owners are friendly and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Awesome property. Short walk from the center. Very kind staff

Lovely little guesthouse that was very clean and the staff were really helpful. There is construction in a few rooms but the owner was mindful and did not begin work until late morning. All of the amenities that it had were great - hot and powerful shower, thick duvet, and food.

Gayan is a really great host once he warms up to you. He rent us a scooter and helped organise tuk tuks to get to the train station and also Horton Plains. The breakfast was great. All fresh fruits and vegetables from his own garden. I really enjoyed it. The room was big and the blankets really, really warm and cozy. The shower has hot water and was the best shower we had in all of Sri Lanka. There is a washing machine, so you can do laundry if you want to. We would recommend this place and enjoyed our stay there.

The location is not the best. It is within walking distance to the edge of the town but for everything else you need a tuk tuk or a scooter. But we didn't mind.

Sirirl Guest House is very nice, staff is very kind and rooms are very clean. The location is nice, not in the city center but 10 min walking.

The WiFi is not working properly, it’s not a big issue but when you travel sometimes you need internet to do all your reservations and bookings.

Clean and comfortable, welcoming and helped us to organise guides to take us on some treks. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was really good.

The entrance to the Guesthouse was disappointing, the steps are slanting and very unsatisfactory

Had a wonderful stay at Siril. The guesthouse has everything you might need for few nights including the laundry (which we used). Clean, comfortable and overall nice vibe at the place. Big kudos to the owner Gayan, we had interesting conversations and he gave us a lot of of local tips not only about Nuwara Eliya but overall about the country.

Little bit further away from all the attractions but not a big issue.

The room was clean and good location

A lot of mosquitoes and other insects in the room

loved it ! nice people cheap and nice for the price. thx ;)

Amazing place in Nuwara Eliya. Highly recommended!!!!! (we had originally booked elsewhere but it turned out to be awful so we moved to Siril Guesthouse and couldn't have asked for a better experience!) Clean, comfortable, spacious! Great shower (best in our travels in Sri Lanka) and a great shared kitchen to use. Location perfect, easy walking distance to town but in quiet area. Gayan helped us with local transportation around town and also to the train station, for great rates. THANK YOU to Gayan and his wife for a wonderful stay!!!

Nice room, great facilities, super clean, very friendly and helpful owners, good coffee. Would definitely recommend to stay at Siril Guesthouse

Is a little walk to the center but actually a really nice walk. The owner is also so kind to organize a Tuk Tuk to the train station.
