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.

EVERYTHING! The most beautiful owner and her gorgeous kids, made me feel at home straight away. The hostel is lovely, with yoga sessions and deliciiious meals available! Judith is a wonderful, kind, bubbly person who’s energy and hospitality made this hostel/homestay my favourite in the whole of Sri Lanka. The location is a good walk out of the centre (maybe 25 mins) , but grabs/tuktuks are cheap and available!

It is a good place to rest, pass by a tuk tuk if you want to go to the beach or you can get there on foot in about 15 minutes.

The best hostel on my Sri Lanka trip so far! The owners are super friendly and helpful! I was a bit sick when I arrived and they made me tea and brought me medicine which helped a lot! I immediately felt welcome and at home. The hostel is still very new, everything is clean, including the bathroom. The air conditioning works well and there is hot water. Breakfast was included, there was lots of fresh fruit and traditional local food. I can highly recommend this hostel!

Room was clean and spacious, bed felt nice, and probably the best toilet I've used during my 12-day trip in Sri Lanka! Nice facilities. Welcome drink was tasty. Very close to the both the bus station and railway station. Would love to stay again!
