Sanithu Homestay Galle

Galle

Bike hire and car hire are available at this hostel and the area is popular for cycling.

Dutch Church Galle is 7.1 km from the hostel, while Galle Fort is 7.3 km away. The nearest airport is Koggala Airport, 20 km from Sanithu Homestay Galle. The hospitality of this family was just incredible. From the first meeting with them, I felt totally welcome and their kind attitude made my stay extremely comfortable. I know what I'm talking about because I had stayed in places where I didn't feel that much welcome but this just simply wasn't the case. Sanithu homestay is pretty close to Galle as well as to Bara beach which is less crowded and really beautiful. The WiFi in the homestay was surprisingly good and I was able to teach some online classes without any trouble. I also liked the mattress and I had a very comfortable sleep. There was a mosquito net that kept me safe from the mosquitos and I don't think I got a single mosquito bite there. The bathroom was also really clean and also liked their garden and their cute rabbit too. One thing I should also mention was the food because Champi cooked delicious, budget-friendly meals which were also really healthy and which I enjoyed a lot so I definitely reccommend eating there.

Old Parkland Hostel

Galle

Set in Galle, within 1.6 km of Bonavista Beach and 3.9 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium, Old Parkland Hostel offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 4.1 km from Dutch Church Galle, 4.5 km from Galle Light house and 4 km from Galle Fort National Museum. The property is allergy-free and is situated 4.1 km from Galle Fort. I stayed at Pinidu's hostel for a total of 4 nights. It is easily among the best hostel experiences I have ever had (having stayed at more than 40 in the past few years...). The room/bed/bathroom is spotless. The hosts are extremely attentive to detail- gave me tour of the garden and recommendations about where to visit. Above all, I must say that Pinidu is an exceptional human being. After I left the hostel, I had a medical emergency and contacted him for advice. He exchanged with people he knew and sent a friend to the hospital to personally make an appointment for me as I returned to the city. I stayed again at his place for two more nights while I did more tests, during which he was extremely supportive and sought to help me be comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough. Especially for people who like a calm environment in nature. Peace from Canada <3
