“It's a classic backpacker budget kind of place.”
The room and bathroom were extremely spacious. and there was a small porch in front of the room. This is a very typical backpacker place so you have to adjust and work around things. I had a good run of great budget places till I got here and it was a little reality check

“Very cheaper stay here no doubt.”
The hostel is in a good location to reach the main beach.Food and everything is an easy getting. The owner of this hostel is a man of good behaviour. He spent his valuable times with me in a gossiping. The manager Mr.Hamid and his wife Fatema from Iran are very cordial and helpful.I have got a good hospitality there.They told me that I could cook there in their kitchen quite free.

“You get what you pay for… shitty beds, no aircon, no vibe, staff were lazy and the place is super rundown.”
It’s cheap but you get what you pay for.

The property was clean, easy to find and very comfortable. The host was exceptionally nice, provided us with valuable tipps and even planned our whole two days in Mirissa! He gave us contacts to affordable drivers and we are happy to stay in contact with him for our next journey.

“Warm staff, cozy beds, and a prime beach location make Hostel First Mirissa a top choice”
Hostel First Mirissa: A Pearl in the South My stay at Hostel First Mirissa was fantastic. Here are some key highlights: Friendly Staff: The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. A special mention to Appachchi, who was particularly helpful, friendly, and always up for a chat. Value for Money: This hostel offers excellent value for money. The facilities and services provided are well worth the price, making it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers. Comfortable Beds: The beds were very comfortable, providing a good night's sleep after a day of exploration. It was wonderful to have a cozy place to rest. Cleanliness: The hostel was spotless. Both the common areas and the rooms were well-maintained and clean, which added to the overall comfort of my stay. Good Location: The location is perfect, just a two-minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in the south. It's an ideal spot for beach lovers and those looking to soak up the sun. Great for Long Stays: This hostel is perfect for long stays. I was there during the off-season and still met many fellow backpackers, which made the experience even better. Free Kitchen Use: There was a kitchen available for free use, which was a huge support for me. After many months on the road, I missed my own food, and being able to cook my meals was a wonderful bonus. Hostel First Mirissa is a wonderful place to stay, whether you're here for a short visit or a longer stay. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable, and well-located hostel in Mirissa.
