At the hostel, each room has a balcony with a city view. Hummus Hostel & Restaurant provides some rooms that have sea views, and rooms include a private bathroom with a bidet. At the accommodation, rooms have air conditioning and a safety deposit box. I really enjoyed the stay! The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful! They have the perfect location- close to the beaches. Everything is new and clean and they offer tea and coffee for free. I can 100% recommend a stay at the hummus hostel. They also rescued a little bird, called Falafel :)

Tanty’s Hostel

Galle City, Galle

Ideally located in the centre of Galle, Tanty’s Hostel offers free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. The property is set 70 metres from Bonavista Beach, 2.4 km from Jungle Beach and 2.7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. A great hostel, large rooms, cozy, lots of greenery and communal spaces, although not many people were there during my stay. Huge kitchen and dining area, washing machine, even tea and coffee (tea was really nice). Each dorm bed had an individual fan which was enough to keep cool, and showers had hot water. Only a short (10 min) bus ride to Galle Fort and the bus stop is very close. During my day trip to Galle Fort there was a huge thunderstorm and when I returned to the hostel, I found my laundry that had been drying outside brought in from the rain by the staff, so kind! There was also a donation/trade box for clothes people no longer wanted, which I found a very cool idea as thrift stores don't seem to be popular in Sri Lanka, and there's often need to make space in your backpack.
