One of the nicest hostels I stayed at in Sri Lanka. I loved my stay at the Sixth Sense, the only problem was that I spent only one night! The hostel has everything you need, it’s very comfortable, clean, with a cute design and the host and staff are incredibly welcoming and nice people.

Well maintained villa, with super clean pool, clean beds, clean bathrooms. Great rooftop for yoga or working out, with amazing serene views and monkeys jumping around. Well away from the main road, super quiet.

Blown away by the full experience. The hostel is set in a beautiful location and the aesthetics of the full place were beautiful. Totally chilled and welcoming space, worth every penny. I extended my stay because I loved it so much. The owner is top tier and is always there to help. The food is great too. Will definitely be back!

A hidden gem! About a 10mins walk from the main streets (where you can find supermarkets and bus stops). I had a very comfortable stay here and the owner was super helpful. He used to work in a hotel in dubai and it shows through his professionalism and consideration!

I stayed at Omnia a total of about 3 weeks. I loved everything about the place. It was super clean, well maintained, the cafe was AMAZING. I tried almost everything on the menu and there was not one thing that I did not love. The best part of this place by far was the staff. This place is run by a group of awesome, caring, helpful, and genuinely kind guys. Everything from scooter renting, surf lessons, taxi booking, to even suggestions about beaches and local places were helped with by these guys. The staff are the reason I spent most of my Sri Lanka trip at this hostel. Rooms have AC, Bathrooms and showers are very clean. I am a hot shower person so I was a little worried about that not being available at Omnia, but honestly I didn't even feel it was needed because it's so hot outside anyways! When I finally left it felt like I was leaving a place that became home to me and the staff made me feel like I was family to them. I will 100% be coming back to Omnia to stay next time I come to Sri Lanka!

The hostel was very clean especially the washrooms and it was definitely value for money since the location was central to all the attractions I wanted to visit. The hostel included an old age arrack bar which was a great addition as I was traveling by myself. Highly recommend this place as it is convenient and provides great accommodation and hospitality for affordable prices.
