This is the perfect hostel! I came here during off season in Mirissa and they were technically closed. They still decided to leave my booking and let me stay in the Hostel. Not only did they upgrade my room from a dorm to a private room for the same price but they made sure there was staff there at all times. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They helped me with everything and made sure I felt right at home. There’s a kitchen and filtered water free of charge available! The hostel is very clean, modern and the location is just perfect, in walking distance to shops, grocery stores, the beach, restaurants and everything else you need. Great value for money and I can’t recommend this place enough!

Well-defined arrangement and friendly staff here, who can offer any help or advice if you wanna know. Also the recommendation of restaurants on the overall mirrisa map are all fine here. Besides, i have to say many thanks for them to book an incredible whale-watching tour to me as the agency controlled the quota of customers but saved more abundant immersion for higher quality of experience. What's more, if you like cat, there are a dozen of sleeping cuties over there lol

I had an incredible experience at Tides! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the start. The accommodation was affordable yet very comfortable, with clean and well-maintained rooms equipped with air conditioning—perfect for a relaxing stay. The highlight was the breathtaking beach view and the stunning sunsets, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind. The food was just as impressive! Every meal I had was delicious, freshly prepared, and full of flavor. From local specialties to international dishes, everything was cooked to perfection. Enjoying a great meal while overlooking the ocean made the experience even better. If you're looking for a perfect getaway with amazing service, beautiful views, and fantastic food, Tides is the place to be. I’ll definitely be returning!

All hostels in Mirissa

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.
